LCMS Macro Contribution #1
Contribution 'View Switching and File Information.'



Revision History
----------------

  1. A.01 original version for ChemStation A.06.01  15-Oct-98



Contribution Purpose
--------------------
	
  This macro adds an Info Toolbar at the right side of the session
    window.
	The Info Toolbar allows the user to:
	1) easily switch among Chemstation views,
	2) take a data snapshot from the online session,
	3) display and print file and sample information about 
		the currently loaded data file,
	4) display and print file and sample information about 
		an entire directory of data files.
  The macro also adds a hide/show menu item to the program's menu
	(UCL, Show Info Toolbar).



Contribution Structure
----------------------

  One macro file:
	INFO.MAC

  Toolbar INI file:
	INFOGUI.INI 

  Bitmap files required for the toolbar:
	CAMERA.BMP	
	DA.BMP
	DIAG.BMP
	INFO.BMP
	INFO1.BMP
	MSTUNE.BMP
	RPT.BMP
	TOP.BMP
	VERIFY.BMP

  This file:
	README.TXT



Prerequisites
-------------

  - MS Windows NT 4.0, Windows 2000, or Windows XP as required by the revision of the 
    ChemStation in use
  - The ChemStation software, Rev A.06.01 or higher

  - Chemstation Library file :
	This macro file requires HPMSP008.DLL to be present in the
	directory \CHEM32\MS\800.  If the ChemStation was not loaded
	in the default directory (\CHEM32) then the reference to this
	file in line 13 of INFOGUI.INI must be changed to reflect the 
	ChemStation installation directory.  If the reference to this
        file is not specified correctly an error message will appear
	when the macro is loading stating that the library file is
	missing and the macro will not load.



Installation
------------

 - Copy all the macro's files (except this readme.txt file) to the 
	ChemStation's executable directory, 'C:\CHEM32\CORE' by default.

 - If the ChemStation was not loaded in the default directory
	 (\CHEM32) then modify the INFOGUI.INI file as described in
	the Prerequisites section of this document. 



Use
---

  Load and start the macro with:

	macro INFO.MAC, go

  The macro will create an Info Toolbar at the right side of the 
	session and add a menu item (UCL, Show Info Toolbar) to 
	the program menu.  Use this menu item to hide or show the
	Info Toolbar.
