MSVC Notes for WTHOOK Project
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
MSVC 4.2 will not be able to compile MFC_DEMO and WTHOOK projects.
MSVC 5.0 will be able to compile all the projects.
Also, please note that the linker warning LNK4098 (to recompile
with the /Nodefaultlib:LIBC option) during the compilationq of Debug
WTHOOK project will not affect the operation of the resulting
executable. This bug concerns all projects linking the WNTAB32X.LIB
and will be fixed in the next version of the Wintab Programmer's Kit.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Project Settings for WTKIT
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
All projects require that the LIB and INCLUDE variables point to
the appropriate Windows SDK directories. Also, the WINTAB variable
must point to a tree containing the LIB and INCLUDE subtrees from the
Wintab Programmer's Kit.
For example, in MSVC5.0, under the Tools menu, Options setting,
the WINTAB\INCLUDE directory must be listed as a directory for
Include files, and the WINTAB\LIB\I386 must be listed as a directory
for library files.
Please cleanup intermediate files between builds to different
targets. If you have built the programs from source for one target
environment, and wish to switch to another target, first run the
command NMAKE CLEANALL in the source subdirectories.

Keeping in Touch
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Here are three ways to show your support for the Wintab standard, and
allow us to let people know that your product has Wintab support.
1. When you complete Wintab support in your product, let us know. Be
sure to include the product name, a description, and contact
information for your company.
2. If possible, send us an evaluation copy of your product, or the
portions of it that contain Wintab support. LCS/Telegraphics is
building a library of Wintab-compliant applications for ongoing
compatibility testing.
3. Join the Committee for Advanced Pointing Standards (CAPS). CAPS
formed in August of 1993 to promote and support future development of
the specification. The more than 40 corporate members of CAPS
include most major pointing device manufacturers, and many leading
CAD and graphics arts software developers. To join CAPS, contact:
