Hi,

This zip file contains the ActiveX component (MerakWrapper.DLL) and a
compiled HTML Help file (Merak.CHM). You also need to ensure that the Merak
API.DLL is saved in WINNT directory as per the documentation supplied by
Bryant. The Help file contains some early documentation for the component.
Basically, you still need to initialise the component and you do this by
calling the Configure method of the MailServer object passing the path of
the Merak application as the parameter.

Once you have done this, do with it what you like. Some of the rules that
are outlined in the Bryant documentation still apply. For example, you
still need to load the domain or user before setting the settings or
retrieving the settings. You also need to save the user in order for your
changes to take effect. On the other hand, I have simplified the adding of
a user. My DLL only requires a call to the Add_User method of the User
object, passing the index of the domain and 3 initial values (username,
password and alias).

To retrieve or set a setting for both the user and domain you need to set
the flags property to the flag which you want to use: objMerak.Users.Flags
= U_Password will retrieve or set password for the user.

The only function that is not dealt with is the AuthenticateUser function
which I will work on for the next release (Unfortunately, I ran out of time
on this project for the moment at least).

Please let me know how you are getting on with it or if you need any help
with it.
