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

Prerequisite
====================
This sample is intended for use after the installation of the Name Object DVD. 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 FoxPro/Windows Sample Programs
=====================================
The sample programs demonstrate how Visual FoxPro can be used to communicate
with the mdName API.

Non-COM Example
===============
The mdNameExample.prg program demonstrates how to use the API using traditional
(non-COM) techniques. The mdName.prg source file and mdName.h include file can
be used in your own programs to declare function calls to the API and define
mdName constants. Make sure to copy mdNAme.prg and mdName.h into the directory
where you are running the sample code.

Non-COM Class Example
=====================
The mdNameClassExample program demonstrates how to use the API using
traditional (non-COM) techniques and FoxPro classes. The mdNameClass.prg and
mdName.h include file can be used in your own programs to declare the mdName
class and define mdName constants. Make sure to copy mdNAme.prg and mdName.h 
into the directory where you are running the sample code.

COM Example
===========
The mdNameCOMExample program demonstrates how to use the API's COM interface
to communicate with the API. Make sure to copy mdName.h into the directory
where you are running the sample code.

***NOTE: This mdName.h is different than the NameObject mdName.h, as Foxpro
         has trouble reading the standard enums

File not Found Error
====================
The mdName.dll file must be locatable by Windows. The easiest way to make this
happen is to add the file's location to your PATH environment variable (you will
need to restart Visual FoxPro to make the change take effect). Another solution
to this is to copy the file mdName.dll to the directory from where you are
running the sample code.

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.

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