C_ToolShed
Black Belt Systems is pleased to announce the C_ToolShed. This is a product
aimed at those who do C development on the Amiga.
It consists of two separate sections – the first is a complete
"Boilerplate" set of C sources which form the basis for a robust Amiga
application. We provide source code for WorkBench and CLI argument handling
– and I do mean handling, this is really different and useful – source for
a complete ARexx host – source for the usual Windows, Intuitext, Menus,
Timer, Serial port, Intuition control loop; The source has built in
CLI-help and error handling, both from tables, no extra code required no
matter how many cmes you add. There is also a linkable file requester
(optional use, of course) with some nice boolean requester capabilities
too.
The second section consists of a bunch command utilties. Either they don't
exist elsewhere, or these are superior to what we've seen. I'll just give
one example here.
We have a _complete_ autodoc generator. It takes C source code, and from
the comments it (1) generates a "body" of a document with section headers,
page/file references for each doc section, and page numbers. It builds a
complete table of contents, in page number order (the body text is
generated in the order the comments are encountered), and lastly, it builds
a complete index based upon keywords found in the comments – you control
the keywords. The files it will process are defined by a listfile, which
simply has the form file1 c/r file2 c/r… fileN c/r. It's really a
teriffic tool to have if you want paper docs (other than the code itself),
and it's a must if you are working with another person or persons on a
project.
There are lots of other tools on there, and lots more source code goodies.
We've priced it at 19.95 so that it can be purchased BEFORE people enter
into a C project; we know the average programmers ship hasn't even left the
other port yet, much less "come in".
We supply boilerplate comments so you'll have a really good start on how to
build them for the best documentation. The main source is autodoc'ed too
(of course). ;^)
