WBtrace Version 2.6 Readme file
-------------------------------

Please read these notes BEFORE attempting to install WBtrace
-------------------------------------------------------------

Purpose of Program:
-------------------
WBTrace allows application and web programmers to create and 
view diagnostic trace information by plugging a COM trace DLL into 
any program that supports COM components.  Trace information can be
viewed while the program or web page is executing. Debug mode is not 
required.

Operating System:
----------------
Windows95 or later.
Windows NT 4.0 or later.

Installation:
-------------
Using VB Setup Program
----------------------
Use this procedure if you obtained the Full version of WBTrace from 
www.dahil.com or from any of the web archives or a CD-ROM. This will be 
the case if the size of the zip file is more  than 998K.

  - Unzip the downloaded zip file into any temporary directory 
  - Run setup.exe from the temporary directory.
  - Follow the instructions of the Setup program 

Manual installation procedure
-----------------------------
Use this procedure if you did not obtain the Full version of WBTrace 
from www.dahil.com or any web archive or a CD-ROM.  This will be the  
case if the size of the zip file is less than 999K.

  - Create a directory in which you will install WBTrace. In this 
    description, we assume the directory is WBTrace.
  - Unzip the downloaded file into directory WBTrace. Ensure that you 
    specify that the zipped directory structure is retained. (In the case 
    of WinZip, this means that you tick the "Use Folder Names" checkbox 
    on the Extract dialog)
  - Use the REGSVR32 program in the WBTrace directory  to register the 
    following components:
    WBTracer.DLL, TDBG5.OCX and XARRAY32.OCX. If you already have the same
    or a later version of the APEX True DB Grid (TDBG5.OCX and XARRAY32.OCX)
    your system, there is no need to register these two components.

    To use REGSVR32, do the following:
      a. Open a DOS command prompt
      b. Make WBTrace your default directory
      c. Type REGSVR32 WBTRACER.DLL and press enter.
      d.Similarly for TDBG5.OCX and XARRAY32.OCX

  - Remember that to run the TraceViewer, you need the VB5 runtimes 
    installed. It can be downloaded from 
           http://www.simtel.net/simtel.net/win95/dll.html
