I create a Basic Viewer for multiple file formats. BMP.. JPG etc.
I want to add the Power Point viewer to my application.

I must have some licence to do so? or is free*

thanx for any answer.

PowerPoint isn't a relatively simple image format like BMP/JPG. Even if you
knew the file format, it'd be an awful lot of work to create a viewer for it.
MS doesn't seem to share the file format in any case.
 
Yes I know..

But There Exist PPViewer32..
that is standalone viewer vor PP presentations..

I want know If I can Include It in my shareware application?
I don know under what licence is registerd?!

It sounds like you have it already, right? If so, I think it should have
installed a text file that supplies the end user license agreement. I'd check
for that.

You're allowed to distribute the viewer freely, but things might get
complicated if you're charging a fee for the shareware. It might be best to
treat the viewer as a kind of optional plug-in that you'll make use of if
present (meaning that users can download it from MS if they want it).

By the way, the newer PPT 2003 viewer doesn't allow for remote control the way
the earlier one does. That's something you'll want to watch out for.
 
hmmmm..

thanx a lot
