=     Melissa Name Object API for Windows        =
==================================================

Prerequisite
====================
This sample is intended for use after the installation of the Name Object. It requires that 
the Name Object is registered and the Data Files installed. If you did not install the Data Files
to its default directory, you will have to change the Data File Path in the sample code to point it
to the correct directory. The Data Files Directory must contain the following files: mdName.dat and
mdName.cfg.

Demo Mode
===============
Please contact your sales representative to obtain a free 30-day license to use Name Object.  After
30 days, the Object must be purchased before continued usage. Please call 1-800-MELISSA ext. 3 for
more information.

Visual C/Windows Sample Programs
================================
The sample programs demonstrate how Visual C can be used to communicate with
the mdName API. Both C and C++ examples have been provided, as well as project
files for Visual Studio 6 and 2003/2005.

Visual C 6
==========
The VC6.dsw project contains the Visual Studio 6 project.

Visual C 2003/2005
==================
The Visual C 2005.sln contains the Visual Studio 2003/2005 project.

Missing DLL
===========
If you get an "Unable to Locate Component" Windows message referring to
mdName.dll, it is most likely because Windows cannot find mdName.dll. The
easiest solution is to add the file's location to your PATH environment 
variable or copy mdName.dll into the current (.exe's) folder.

Header File
===========
Make sure that mdName.h is copied to the directory where you are running your sample code
in order for it to execute.

Libraries
=========
Make sure that mdName.lib is locatable by Visual C by either adding it to the Visual C Lib directory,
or by copying it to the directory where you are runnign the sample code.

DemoData
=========
Must copy mdName.sdf to the directory where you are running your sample code in order
for the sample code to execute.
