The outline herein defines the retquirements to +which such a distribution must comply. If you cannot comply with these +retquirements please install the dll in the same directory as your application +and NOT in the Windows system-directory!!! + + +1) Only the DLL already assembled in the libmng distribution may be used for + other distributions! + +2) Only stable public releases are eligible for distribution! A public release + is one where the y-value of the x.y.z version-code is an even number. + Eg. 1.0.0, 1.2.1, 2.4.7, etc. + +3) The installation program MUST store the DLL in the Windows system-directory! + Eg. C:\WinNT\System32, C:\Windows98\System + (Note: InstallShield users can use the <SYSDIR> variable) + +3) The installation program MUST flag the file as a shared library! + +4) The installation program MUST NOT install the DLL if a newer version + already exists in the Windows system-directory! The standard DLL provided + contains the Windows-default version-numbering system. PLEASE USE IT!! + DO NOT rely on the date or size of the files. + +5) An uninstall procedure MAY NOT remove the DLL if other applications are + still linked to it! Proper handling as a shared library is imperitive. + +6) TEST IT, TEST IT, TEST IT!!! (I just can't stress this enough) + If you don't have enough time, let someone else test it BEFORE you + distribute! + + +The penalty for violating these rules is inclusion of your name in the list +of endangered but useless species (just below the GIF entry!), and on my +blacklist. YOU HAVE BEEN FOREWARNED! + |
