LIBRARIES

A brief description of the eXPress++ libraries

Description:

    DCLIPX.LIB (version 1.0 and above)
   
     This library contains the exported symbols that are in the
     DCLIPX.DLL dynamic library.  Link this library with your
     application when using any DC_*(), ADS() or AX*() functions
     in your application.
   
    DCHELP.LIB (version 1.8 and above)
   
     This library contains the exported symbols that are in the
     DCHELP.DLL dynamic library.  Link this library with your
     application when using the DC_Help*() functions in your
     application.
   
    DCLIPS.LIB (version 1.0 and above)
   
     This library contains the exported symbols that are in the
     DCLIPS.DLL dynamic library.  Link this library with your
     application when using any DC_*() functions in your
     application.
   
    DCLIP1.LIB (version 2.0 and above)
   
     This library contains the exported symbols that are in the
     DCLIP1.DLL dynamic library.  Link this library with your
     application when using any version 2.0 DC_*() functions in your
     application and when using ALINK.EXE as your linker.
   
    DCLIP2.LIB (version 2.0 and above)
   
     This library contains the exported symbols that are in the
     DCLIP2.DLL dynamic library.  Link this library with your
     application when using any version 2.0 DC_*() functions in your
     application and when using ALINK.EXE as your linker.
   
    EXPRESS.RES (version 1.0 and above)
   
     This library contains the bitmap, pointer and icon resources
     used by eXPress++.  Link this library with your application
     when using any DC_*() functions in your application.
   
    NOTE:
   
     ALINK.EXE allows only one (1) .RES file to be linked to an
     .EXE. If you have your own resources in a .RES file, then
     you must either add the resources in EXPRESS.EXE to your own
     .RES file or use Blinker 5.1 which allows for multiple .RES
     files.
   
    DCLIPX.DLL (version 1.0 and above)
   
     This is the dynamic-link library that contains all the
     eXPress++ and Advantage Server functions.  It must be
     distributed with your application.
   
    DCHELP.DLL (version 1.8 and above)
   
     The is the dynamic-link library that contains the help
     system based on the DC_Help*() functions.  It must be
     distributed with your application.
   
    DCLIPS.DLL (version 1.0 and above)
   
     This is the dynamic-link library that contains all the eXPress++
     stub functions.  It must be distributed with your application.
   
    DCLIP1.DLL (version 2.0 and above)
   
     This is the dynamic-link library that contains half of the 2.0
     version eXPress++ functions.  It must be distributed with your
     application if your application calls any 2.0 functions.
   
    DCLIP2.DLL (version 2.0 and above)
   
     This is the dynamic-link library that contains half of the 2.0
     version eXPress++ functions.  It must be distributed with your
     application if your application calls any 2.0 functions.
   
    JACP30XP.DLL and JACE30.DLL
   
     These are the JazzAge 3.0 runtime DLLs.  They are used
     with eXpress++ functions that require ActiveX support such
     as DC_Help() and DC_PrintPreviewAcrobat().
   

Notes:

    DCLIP*.LIB files, by default, are created for compatability
    with the ALINK.EXE linker.  These are COFF format.  OMF
    versions of the DCLIP*.LIB files are contained in the \OMF
    subdirectory under the \LIB subdirectory of your eXPress++
    installation.
   

_ISOURCE.DLL

The ImgSource Graphics Image support library

Description:

    The _ISOURCE.DLL file is a "dynamic-library" that can be used
    with Xbase++ applications at runtime.  _ISOURCE.DLL can be
    linked to an application only "dynamically" and it is
    automatically loaded as needed for special graphic image
    support.
   
    NOTE: When using DCBITMAP or DCPRINT BITMAP commands in your
    appliction that must display or print .JPG or .PCX files, the
    _ISOURCE.DLL and DCLIPIMG.DLL file must be distributed with
    your application.
   
    _ISOURCE.DLL is a graphics product created by a company named
    ImgSource.  Their license agreement allows for free
    distribution of their _ISOURCE.DLL along with the DCLIPX.DLL
    and DCLIPIMG.DLL provided that the source of unlock key is not
    also distributed.  This key is encoded within DCLIPIMG.DLL,
    therefore the source code for this .DLL is not included with
    eXPress++.  For more information about this graphics library
    go to http://www.smalleranimals.com.  A full license may be
    purchased for a modest amount.
   
    If the DCLIPIMG.DLL or _ISOURCE.DLL files are not distributed
    with your applications, there will be no compile-time or run-time
    errors, however any .JPG file referenced in a DCBITMAP command or
    DCPRINT BITMAP command will be ignored.

  _ISOURCE.DLL

DCLIP1.DLL

The eXpress++ 2.0 dynamic-link library 1 of 2

Description:

    The DCLIP1.DLL file is a "dynamic-library" that can be used
    with Xbase++ applications at runtime.  DCLIP1.DLL can be
    linked to an application either "statically" or "dynamically".
    It is recommended that Xbase++ .DLLs be linked statically to
    applications and this requires including DCLIP1.LIB (Alink)
    or DCLIP1B.LIB (Blinker) in your application link script.
    By linking a .DLL statically, the .DLL will automatically be
    opened when the application is started and the symbols will
    be resolved at link time rather than at load time.  This
    will insure that calls to functions in DCLIP1.DLL do not need
    to be used in macros, but that they can be used in your code
    like any other Xbase++ function.  DCLIP1.DLL contains
    approximately half of the version 2.0 functions.  The remaining
    version 2.0 functions are contained in DCLIP2.DLL.
   
    NOTE: When using DCLIP1.DLL with your Xbase++ applications, you
    only need to distribute the DCLIP2,DLL, DCLIPX.DLL and
    DCLIPS.DLL files with the application files.  No other files
    are needed.

Description:

    The DCLIPX.DLL file is a "dynamic-library" that can be used
    with Xbase++ applications at runtime.  DCLIPX.DLL can be
    linked to an application either "statically" or "dynamically".
    It is recommended that Xbase++ .DLLs be linked statically to
    applications and this requires including DCLIPX.LIB (Alink)
    or DCLIPXB.LIB (Blinker) in your application link script.
    By linking a .DLL statically, the .DLL will automatically be
    opened when the application is started and the symbols will
    be resolved at link time rather than at load time.  This
    will insure that calls to functions in DCLIPX.DLL do not need
