+PPTVIEWLIB - Control PowerPoint Viewer 2003/2007 (for openlp.org)
+Copyright (C) 2008 Jonathan Corwin (j@corwin.co.uk)
+            
+This library wrappers the free Microsoft PowerPoint Viewer (2003/2007) program, 
+allowing it to be more easily controlled from another program. 
+
+The PowerPoint Viewer must already be installed on the destination machine, and is 
+freely available at microsoft.com.
+
+The full Microsoft Office PowerPoint and PowerPoint Viewer 97 have a COM interface allowing
+automation. This ability was removed from the 2003+ viewer offerings.
+
+To developers: I am not a C/C++ or Win32 API programmer as you can probably tell. 
+The code and API of this DLL could certainly do with some tidying up, and the
+error trapping, where it exists, is very basic. I'll happily accept patches!
+
+This library is covered by the GPL (http://www.gnu.org/licenses/)
+It is NOT covered by the LGPL, so can only be used in GPL compatable programs.
+(http://www.gnu.org/licenses/why-not-lgpl.html)
+
+This README.TXT must be distributed with the pptviewlib.dll
+
+This library has a limit of 50 PowerPoints which can be opened simultaneously.
+
+USAGE
+-----
+int OpenPPT(char *filename, HWND hParentWnd, RECT rect, char *previewpath);
+
+	Opens the PowerPoint file, counts the number of slides, sizes and positions accordingly
+	and creates preview images of each slide. Note PowerPoint Viewer only allows the 
+	slideshow to be resized whilst it is being loaded. It can be moved at any time however.
+
+	The only way to count the number of slides is to step through the entire show. Therefore
+	there will be a delay whilst opening large presentations for the first time.
+	For pre XP/2003 systems, the slideshow will flicker as the screen snapshots are taken.
+
+	filename:    The PowerPoint file to be opened. Full path
+	hParentWnd:  The window which will become the parent of the slideshow window. 
+   			     Can be NULL.
+	rect:        The location/dimensions of the slideshow window. 
+			     If all properties of this structure are zero, the dimensions of the hParentWnd
+			     are used. 
+	previewpath  If specified, the prefix to use for snapshot images of each slide, in the 
+			     form: previewpath + n + ".bmp", where n is the slide number.
+			     A file called previewpath + "info.txt" will also be created containing information
+			     about the PPT file, to speed up future openings of the unmodified file.
+			     Note it is up the calling program to directly access these images if they 
+			     are required.
+
+	RETURNS:     An unique identifier to pass to other methods in this library.
+			     If < 0, then the PPT failed to open.
+			     If >=0, ClosePPT must be called when the PPT is no longer being used
+			     or when the calling program is closed to release resources/hooks.
+               
+void ClosePPT(int id);
+	 Closes the presentation, releasing any resources and hooks.
+
+	 id: The value returned from OpenPPT.
+	
+int GetCurrentSlide(int id);
+	Returns the current slide number (from 1)
+
+	id: The value returned from OpenPPT.
+
+int GetSlideCount(int id);
+	Returns the total number of slides.
+
+	id: The value returned from OpenPPT.
+
+void NextStep(int id);
+	Advances one step (animation) through the slideshow.
+
+	id: The value returned from OpenPPT.
+
+void PrevStep(int id);
+	Goes backwards one step (animation) through the slideshow.
+
+	id: The value returned from OpenPPT.
+
+void GotoSlide(int id, int slideno);
+	Goes directly to a specific slide in the slideshow
+
+	id: The value returned from OpenPPT.
+	slideno: The number of the slide (from 1) to go directly to.
+	
+	If the slide has already been displayed, then the completed slide with animations performed
+	will be shown. This is how the PowerPoint Viewer works so have no control over this.
+
+void RestartShow(int id);
+	Restarts the show from the beginning. To reset animations, behind the scenes it 
+	has to travel to the end and step backwards though the entire show. Therefore
+	for large presentations there might be a delay.
+
+	id: The value returned from OpenPPT.
+
+void Blank(int id);
+	Blanks the screen, colour black.
+
+	id: The value returned from OpenPPT.
+
+void Unblank(int id)
+	Unblanks the screen, restoring it to it's pre-blank state.
+	
+	id: The value returned from OpenPPT.
+
+void Stop(int id)
+	Moves the slideshow off the screen. (There is no concept of stop show in the PowerPoint Viewer)
+
+	id: The value returned from OpenPPT.
+
+void Resume(int id)
+	Moves the slideshow display back onto the screen following a Stop()
+
+	id: The value returned from OpenPPT.
