=======================================================================
INSTALLATION

Installation of this package should be done by following 
these steps:

1. Create a working folder in your computer for the 
   application (e.g. C:\DCG).
2. Copy all files to the folder you've just created.
3. If you wish, create a shortcut to point to DCG32.EXE.
4. Now you're ready to run DCG32.EXE.

Note: If you've installed a previous version of dCG make
      sure you overwrite all existing files.
=======================================================================
INTENDED FUTURE ENHANCEMENTS

0. Correction of current version bugs and/or misfeatures.
1. Code generation project database to assist your "cut and
   paste" way of code reusability (i.e. code snippets).
2. Extension driver to parse and process resource files (.RC).
   This will let you generate custom dialog code for resource
   files created by resource editors like Borland's Resource
   Workshop or Microsoft's Dialog Editor and/or AppStudio.
3. Publication of the dCG API reference. This is the programming
   interface to let you develop your own extension drivers.
   Extension drivers are just DLLs that you register in the
   View|Options|Drivers to be loaded whenever dCG is spawned.
   They let you define new data types, functions and symbols
   as if they were intrinsic to the dCG interpreter system.
4. A better edit custom control (in the Win95 version I will
   try to use the RichEdit standard control).
5. Implementing the dCG engine as a software component (DLL or
   OCX) to let you design your own front-end generator. 
N. Any other suggestion you may think of -- spit it right 
   through my Email address: rncbc@mail.telepac.pt.
