`# The form DX_Wait in [DX_Table] with its form method,
` cf. the method DX_Wait
`____________________________ INSTALLATION ____________________________
`1- Import all contents, at least those marked with #.
` Don’t forget to copy the form DX_Wait in [DX_Table].
`2- In your startup method you write: DX_Init (-1)
` In the line before you define the language for all DATAform alerts:
`
àDX_Language:=2 `2 = English or
`
àDX_Language:=1 `1 = deutsch
`3- In your On Exit method you call DX_Quit before QUIT 4D
` if you work with DX_Message.
`4- Restart 4D. Done.
` Now you may write a method similar to DX_DemoWrite and DX_DemoRead
` and exchange QuarkXPress objects with your data file.
`____________________________ LIST OF VARIABLES ________________________
` Used and initialised variables are:
` See DX_Init (-1)
` The function DX_Message calls at the end
` ON ERR CALL("") as well as ON EVENT CALL("").
` If your programme calls its own methods here,
` you must reset them after calling DX_Message.
`____________________________ MAC/WINDOWS ____________________________
` The DATAform 4D interface can be used under 4D for Mac or Windows.
` The interface automatically performs the converting of the Mac ANSI
` character set upon import and export.
` You may import at will text with DATAformTags from QuarkXPress for Mac or Windo
` into Mac or Windows as long as it has been created with version 3.7 or later
` of DATAformXTension.
` You may create text with DATAformTags under Mac or Windows and import it
` with either OS in QuarkXPress.
` If necessary, DATAformXTension converts the character set automatically.
` DX_Message expects a path to the QuarkXPress folder.
` This path to can be passed in Mac or Windows notation.
` If you pass a picture path in DX_Array{1}, you must however check
` yourself that the path is suitable to target OS.
