Files

Xceed.pol
Xceed.prj
Xceed.st
Speller source files
Xceed.sll Speller library

Requirements

VS/VSE 3.1.2 for Win32s. Requires at least the following libraries:
 
ARBase.sll Alejandro Reimondo base components SLL 
ARAddIns.sll SelfDefinedStructures support
ARDev.sll Development tools 
ARMisc.sll Misc. OS Support
vreg31w.sll Registration Database Support
voleb31w.sll  OLE COM Support
volec31w.sll OLE Container Support
volex31w.sll  OLE Control Support
OCX.sll (or OCX.st) OCX Wrapper

The Xceed Zip Compression Library v3.5 VBX/OCX should be available. The trial version of this library available from Xceed Software may be used.

Installation

Ensure that the above SLLs are installed in the VS/VSE library directory or a directory that appears in the Windows PATH statement and evaluate:

SmalltalkLibraryBinder bindTo:'Xceed'.

The Xceed.sll library will automatically bind its required libraries if they have not already been bound to the image.

Install Xceed Zip Compression Library v3.5 to a directory on your hard drive using its self-extracting setup file xceedzip.exe . Once complete, you will need to register the XCDZIP35.OCX with the operating system. This registration is automatically requested the first time the Xceed interface is used, such as using XceedTest open. Set the file dialog that opens to the path for the XCDZIP35.OCX file installed. This will complete the registration. Alternately, one may register the OCX manually by executing

regsvr32 "path of XCDZIP35.OCX"

from a command prompt. Likewise, to unregister the OCX execute

regsvr32 /u "path of XCDZIP35.OCX".

Read the installation instructions from the Xceed Windows Help file XCEEDZIP.HLP for more information.

Examples

Evaluate

XceedTest open.

This opens a window with a text pane serving as transcript and a menu bar of archive menu options. Start by selecting an archive file from a file dialog using File-Open. Once an archive has been selected choose any of the archive operations from the selections of menu bar item OCX. For example, you may list the files in the archive by choosing OCX-List it.
