- Auto - Commodore AutoDocs reader.
-
- This program will be mainly of use to developers, or people with the
- Commodore AutoDocs in their possession.
-
- Its simply a program which allows you to read autodocs. It doesn't
- work with all, because Commodore hasn't written all the autodocs the
- same way, but most (the important onces) work fine.
-
- AUTO simply assumes that all auto doc files are in the auto: path,
- and that keywords begin with a / character, which they do in the
- Commodore AutoDocs....AUTO skips the contents file.
-
- Simple usage : Auto <file> <key>
-
- Auto appends ".doc" to the filename and searches for "/key" and outputs
- all until the next ctrl-l or end-of-file...ie the data for that entry if
- the file matches the AutoDoc format.
-
- examples :
-
- auto intution printitext
- auto exec openlibrary
-
- I find this program invaluable for getting prototypes for function calls,
- I hope you will too....
-
- I have a "hypertext" version of this nearly complete, I'm just working on
- a few additions now, it reads unaltered autodoc files and allows you to
- click on keywords and jump to other pages within the file...its very nice
- and easy to use if you are reading the autodocs for a certain purpose.
- (ie. it does its own auto-referencing to locate keywords to highlight
- for you to click and jump to another page...e.g. when you're reading
- "OpenLibrary" in the Exec docs, then "CloseLibrary" is highlighted throughout
- so that you can double click it and jump to that entry....very nice).
- This program is completely mouse-driven, and the developers local to me
- who are using it love it.
-
- I am unsure if I will release that version into the public domain, so if
- you want a copy, contact me and we'll make a deal.
