GUI tools and demonstration / learning applets :

All applications will be compiled with at least version 152 of the Vulcan compiler.

Apps compiled with earlier versions of the compiler now throw some errors, as the compiler has become tighter.

Compiled EXE files downloaded should work right from the compression software framework, as long as you have Vulcan 152 or later installed.

Every 'exe' file I upload to ClickStart is checked in this way by me.  It will run on my PC directly from the downloaded compressed file.

Sometimes other files are needed to support the application, and for these they need to be installed as per the instructions.

    

Also some apps are deigned to work with a configuration type file, which is an XML file in the same folder as the application file.
Because this file often holds local details of a confidential nature, these sorts of apps will start without a file being present.
Once the user has entered the required details, this file will be automatically created and maintained.
Such apps are 'ZeeMail' and any SQL demo app which needs connection string details - as shown above.
These are downloaded without the accompanying XML file, for obvious reasons.

Completeness of GUI tools and learning applets :

Although care is taken to only provide working and checked-out applications, it has to be realised that these 'tools' generally are always in a state of development.

By this I mean that they are never quite finished, but have many working and tested parts which can help the developer wishing to have sample code and Vulcan syntax to copy.  Since I for one, realize how useful some working code is to personal development (thanks Chris) I wished to provide such examples as soon, and as early, as possible.

Usually, the EXE file is accompanied by PRG files, and VIDE export files.  This is to provide as much help as possible, to any developer wishing to view and study Vulcan code, as well as use either VIDE or Visual Studio, the 'shell' of their choice.  Maybe in the future I will also provide VS solution files. (Step by step - comes to mind!)
