SUMMARY
=======

Journal.exe is a sample that demonstrates how to use the journal hooks
WH_JOURNALRECORD and WH_JOURNALPLAYBACK. The JOURNAL archive file contains the
source to App.exe; WNDPROC.C is one of the source files.

The App.exe application serves only one purpose; it illustrates how to call the
dynamic-link library (DLL) that performs all of the journaling work. The
WNDPROC.C application module contains calls to the DLL to record and play back
messages. One of the source modules for the DLL, JOURNAL.C, contains all the
code required to create Diary.bin, a file of messages. The messages in Diary.bin
can be played back at a later time. The Diary.bin file is overwritten each time
the user chooses Record On from the menu.

The Journal.exe code can serve as the basis of a "hands off" application
demonstration. The application demonstrating itself can call the high- level
functions in the DLL to play each event.

The Diary.bin file is also included in the JOURNAL archive to demonstrate using
journal hooks. To demonstrate playing the contents of a Diary.bin file, select
Play from the menu.
