No. Its one of Microsoft's dumber concepts. Sometimes reuse of code does not make the best user interface.

Kit Disk Hope someone here can help. I just acquired a USED copy of the MSWord Developer's Kit (version 6.0, ISBN: 1-55615-630-8). It was supposed to include the 3.5" disk, and it didn't. Doses anyone have a copy of this book/disk? Would you be willing to make a copy of the disk for me? I'll gladly pay a couple bucks to cover the cost of the disk and mailing, or I'll gladly mail a diskette and a copy of the license from the back of the book -- if you're leary of making a copy. I bought the book in order to create Word add-in libraries (.WLLs) and maybe do some Workgroup extension stuff -- but what I need in order to do that is on the missing disk. So, can anyone help me out here? Thanks.

The following rules will be posted periodically. The purpose of the rules is quite simply to ensure messages conform to Fidonet standards, to keep the threads on topic, and to ensure orderly distribution without causing duplicate message loops. 1. The purpose of this echo is the discussion of Microsoft Word and its various offshoots--Mac Word, Word for Windows, DOS Word; any other versions that are created; and add-on products for Microsoft Word Products. No other software, hardware, etc. questions (including Windows and/or other operating systems) are considered on-topic. No "bashing" of competitive products is permitted. The Moderator will absolutely not permit the "My wordprocessor is better than your wordprocessor" syndrome into the echo. Speculation on features, release dates, beta cycles, etc. of future releases of Microsoft Word is not permitted. Keep in mind that since this echo supports ALL versions of Word it is a good idea to state which version you are referring to in your messages to avoid confusion. 1a. If it is determined that an echo participant has an illegal copy of MS_WORD, that echo participant will have his/her/its feed cut immediately. 2. Personal attacks (commonly called flames) are not permitted under any circumstances. In addition to keeping the messages on topic, we intend to keep things friendly. It is absolutely permitted and encouraged to disagree. However, it must be done in a friendly manner. It is particularly necessary for the profes- sionals among us to remember that this echo is for *everyone*. A condescending manner is to be avoided at all costs. Please try to remember how much you had to learn at one time. 3. Off topic messages should be ignored. The Moderator will respond to them directly. Answers by others just tend to perpetuate themselves and lead the threads astray. 4. Sysops (system operators) from throughout the world spend their own hard-earned $$$ to make this echo available for your pleasure and education. Therefore, advertisements of any kind, and in particular, *COMMERCIAL_ADVERTISEMENTS* are not in good taste and are *TABOO*. It is totally unfair to ask these sysops to pay your advertising costs, and your cooperation here is most certainly expected. The moderator will make the final determination as to what constitutes advertising and will notify individuals whose messages are determined to be off topic. 5. Lastly, aside from the regular FidoNet guidelines of annoying behavoir and English as the official language, leave the moderating to the moderator. Any comments about echo rules and/or moderation should be sent via netmail. They should not be posted in the echo. 6. Most importantly, enjoy yourself and be open to share information so we can all learn and prosper. ENJOY!!! Thank you for joining us.

Hi Carl, yep 2 shareware programs will do it, either CopyQm version 3.24 and Disk Dupe version 5, and they are both shareware, so check out the files area on your friendly local BBS. Take care.
