MORE INFORMATION

Five tutorials are included with this product. They are "Scribble", "Scribble Step 7", "Contain", "AutoClik", and "Enroll".

1) Scribble introduces the Visual C++ environment and several of the 

   Microsoft Foundation Classes to the beginning user. It is located in the
   "Class Library User's Guide", chapters 2-10. Since this tutorial is
   meant to introduce several new concepts to the user, it is meant to be
   completed first. If the user has already completed this tutorial from
   Visual C++ 1.0, or has prior knowledge of MFC and programming in the
   Windows environment, then this tutorial is optional.
The following tutorials can be completed in any order since they introduce separate topics which do not depend on the user's knowledge of the other tutorials' topics.

2) Scribble Step 7 is an extension of the Scribble Tutorial and 

   demonstrates how to convert a complete MFC application to an OLE server.
   It is located in the "OLE 2 Classes" manual, Part 1, chapter 5.
3) Contain is implemented in two steps and demonstrates how to write a 
   container application using the Application and Class Wizards and the
   MFC OLE2 classes. It is located in the "OLE 2 Classes" manual, Part 1,
   chapters 2-4.
4) AutoClik is implemented in three steps and demonstrates how to write an 
   automated server application using the Application and Class Wizards and
   the MFC OLE2 classes. It is located in the "OLE 2 Classes" manual, Part
   1, chapters 6-9.
5) Enroll is implemented in three steps and demonstrates how to write a 
   database application using the MFC database classes, the Class and
   Application Wizards, and the Application Studio. It is located in the
   "Database Classes" manual, Part 1, chapters 2-5.
