+## VBCorLib v0\.5
+
+
+</div>
+
+### Description
+
+This is a milestone release of VBCorLib. VBCorLib is a VB6 implementation of the .NET mscorlib assembly, providing many of the classes that are available to .NET developers to now be available to VB6 developers. This release includes much of the System.IO namespace which primarly consists of Streams and File/Directory manipulation, and a few fixes. In conjunction with this release is a new website dedicated to VBCorLib (www.kellyethridge.com/vbcorlib). The site is in constant updating as I'm trying to get some tutorials online. This archive also includes the unit-tests and will require SimplyVBUnit v1.4.x to run. You not have to run the tests.

+
+Be sure to check out the Constructors class to see what you can create. All of 
+the function in Constructors are global-multiuse accessable.
+
+What it is:
+VBCorLib is an ongoing project to recreate the .NET mscorlib assembly for VB6.
+
+
+Many of the utility classes in mscorlib can be recreated nearly identically in
+VB6. Those portions that can't, are simulated as best as can be. 
+
+The building of the massive library carries a set of Unit Tests that can be
+selectively performed to ensure the integrity of the project. In order to run
+any of the tests, SimplyVBUnit v1.4.x must be installed on the system. This
+can be obtained at www.sourceforge.net/projects/simplyvbunit.
+
+This project includes both interfaces and classes. Sometimes methods need to be
+accessed as a static method in a class. Since VB6 does not support this, it is
+simulated by creating a class to contain static methods and providing a public
+function of the class name. This gives the equivalence of accessing static methods
+in .NET classes. An example would be for using the Buffer static methods.
+
+	i = Buffer.ByteLength(myArray)
+
+Buffer is not an instantiated object. You simply access the static methods through
+the class name, without any creation of an object on your part.
+
+Not all of the classes in this project are a public. Many are helper classes for
+such things as enumerating collection classes, or being a wrapper class to maintain
+limited access to an underlying object. These classes are not listed here, but
+should be considered as part of the parent class, so the status indicates the
+completion of those helper classes as well.
+
+Tools:
+Now included with VBCorLib source is a new directory called Tools. In this
+directory is a set of tools that helps build data external of VBCorLib. The
+only tool currently present is VBCultureInfoBuilder.
+
+VBCultureInfoBuilder:
+In order for VBCorLib to support such a vast array of cultures is to maintain
+culture specific information outside of the source code. A file named VBCultures.nlp
+is mapped into memory to quickly load culture specific information when a new
+CultureInfo object is created. The VBCultures.nlp file is built using
+VBCultureInfoBuilder. The data that is used by the builder is in a subdirectory named
+CultureInfoData. In it is a set of XML files containing the culture specific information.
+Once VBCultures.nlp is built, it can be placed in the App.Path of the executing program
+if you wish to have a special version, or it can be placed in the Windows directory. If
+the file is not found, then only the Invariant culture type is supported.
+
+BREAKING CHANGES SINCE 0.1 (Compatible with v0.2)
+cArray.CreateInstance		Now creates an empty array of up to 3 dimensions.
+				Added cArray.NewArray to create a filled 1 dimension array.
+
+--- Unit Tests ---
+An extensive set of tests is included in the release. In order to load and perform the
+tests, SimplyVBUnit v1.4.x must be installed on the system. It can be obtained from
+www.sourceforge.net/projects/simplyvbunit.
+
+The tests not only perform and integrity check, but also show how to use the classes.
+
+--- Type Library ---
+The type library of VBCorLibTypes.tlb and VBVM6Lib.tlb must be registered using REGTLIB.EXE in order to load up the
+project in VB. It is not required to use the compiled DLL. It is located in the 'VBCorLib\Type Libraries' folder.
+
+Below is a list of interfaces and classes that are in the project. 
+There are 3 columns:
+	Name is the name of the interface or class.
+	Status is the completion status
+	Release is the version in which the interface or class was added to the project.

+TextReader					100%	0.3
+TimeSpan					100%	0.1
+TimeZone					100%	0.2
+Version						100%	0.1
+
+--- Constructors ---
+This is a set of global-multiuse functions that can be used to
+help easily create objects with parameters. To see these functions
+use the Cor function. An example would be:
+	Set obj = Cor.NewArgumentException("Something is wrong.")
+		or
+	Set obj = NewArgumentException("Something is wrong.")
+
+--- Exceptions ---
+Exceptions can be thrown and caught using the Throw and Catch functions.
+
+Throw is a function that accepts an object that implements the Exception
+interface. By calling Throw with an exception object, the object is set
+to be caught, then an error is raised using the information in the exception object.
+
+Catch is a function that takes an exception variable and an optional Err object. It
+returns a boolean indicating if an exception was caught. A simple use would be:
+	Dim ex As Exception
+	If Catch(ex) then
+		MsgBox ex.ToString
+	End If
+
+--- Compiling ---
+Compiling is performed in the normal manner. There is a constant defined in
+'Conditional Compilation Arguments' that allows a Type to be present at the
+top of the cArray class. Setting the INDEBUG to 0 will remove the Type, but also
+prevent the associated test from passing.
+
+--- To Use ---
+Simply include a reference to the resulting DLL and everything will be available.
+There is no initialization required, all static methods are fully available.
+
+--- Documentation ---
+Some documentation is written within the classes. They are in a format that is
+understandable by VB.DOX document generator. More documentation will be added
+as the project continues. If you wish to generate the documentation from the
+classes using VB.DOX, you will need to download it from sourceforge.net.
+
+--- Template Classes ---
+These classes are meant as starting points for creating new classes to work within
+the VBCorLib system. By implementing atleast cObject interface, your classes can
+be used extensively within the system. 
+
+cObjectBase template class provides a skeleton from which to build your class.
+The default behaviours can be overriden to your specifications.
+
+ExceptionBase template class is a starting point for creating exception classes that
+are custom to your needs and can still be used by the system.
+
+SystemExceptionBase template class is are more precise exception primarily used by the
+set of system specific exception classes.
+
+IOExceptionBase template class is the start in creating I/O error exceptions such
+as the FileNotFoundException.
