Hi folks!
____________________________________________________________________________

This directory contains the required files to develop tools for ViNCEd
and the vnc.library. It's especially useful for program authors, mainly
for the use of C compilers. Currently, these includes are only tested
with the SAS/C compilers, they might require changes for other compilers.
Especially, the link libraries will most likely work only with SAS/C.

Here the contents of this directory, and where these files should go
in a complete installation:

lib
	Contains link libraries for easier access to vnc.library functions.
	Even though the SAS/C "pragmas" work, it is recommended to use the
	stub routines. More details are in the ReadMe in the "lib" 
	directory.
	Filese in here should be copied to the "lib" directory of your
	compiler, to the other link libaries.

fd
	Contains the "fd" function descriptor file for the vnc.library.
	Should be copied to all your other "fd" files.

include_asm
	Include files for the assembly language author. That's currently
	not very much.

Examples
	Example programs about some details and frequently asked questions
	about ViNCEd and its API. These example programs have been 
	successfully compiled with the SAS/C compiler, some changes might
	be required for other compilers. Details are again in the ReadMe
	in the "Examples" directory. If you want to keep them, copy them
	to the sources directory of your C compiler.

proto
	Prototypes for the vnc.library. The file in here includes the 
	prototypes as well as the pragmas. If you include THIS file, you
	will call the vnc.library directly, without the stub routines.
	Should be copied to "INCLUDE:proto"

pragma
	"pragma"s for direct calling of the library without stub routines.
	Not recommended, even though this works. This file should be 
	copied to "INCLUDE:pragma". It shouldn't be included directly.

clib
	Prototypes for the functions of the vnc.library. MUST be included
	as soon as you want to call any vnc.library functions, even if
	you're using the stub routines of the link libraries.

vnc
	This directory contains the include files for a C compiler.
	The directory as a whole should be copied into "INCLUDE:vnc".
	The files in here are as follows:

	vnc/dynamics.h
		Dynamic memory management structures of ViNCEd.

	vnc/packets.h
		Additional DOS PACKETS used by ViNCEd additionally to
		those in dos/dosextens.h.

	vnc/macros.h
		The structures for holding macros and buttons.

	vnc/keyboard.h
		The structures for holding the extended, user configurable
		keyboard as well as the IDs of the keyboard functions.

	vnc/owner.h
		Structures for the "Owner" and "Named Console" machine of
		ViNCEd. Required for job control functions.

	vnc/requester.h
		Structures for the build-in file requester.

	vnc/vncbase.h
		The structure of the library base.

	vnc/prefs.h
		The structures holding the user preferences.

	vnc/io.h
		buffered input/output functions in the vnc.library.

	vnc/window.h
		defines the main structure of ViNCEd, the ViNCWindow,
		as well as some secondary structures.

Autodocs
	This directory contains the autodocs for the vnc.library, i.e.
	the documenation of the library functions. The autodocs come
	only in plain ASCII version, but it is possible to convert
	them to the AmigaGuide format if required. The necessary tools
	to do this are not available in this archive.
