-
- READING YOUR SOURCE CODE
- ------------------------
-
- After you have run MANual /c to configure your manual and
- you have added all of the comment blocks to your files, you will
- be ready to start reading your files into SUPERMANual.
-
- This step is very easy. Simply type:
-
- MANUAL yourfile.ext [enter]
-
- The Databases that SUPERMANual uses will be created the first
- time you use this program.
-
- If you should happen to read in the same file twice or make a
- last minute change, you can use the /e switch after the file-
- name.
-
- IE: MANUAL yourfile.ext /e [enter]
-
- This will allow you to start over from the first source file.
-
- Just use this for adding each of your source files. This will
- not take too long at all.
-
- SUPERMANUAL CREATE
- ------------------
-
- After you have run SUPERMANual on each of your commented source
- code files, you can go to this final step.
-
- You will end up with 4 ASCII files. The files are:
-
- COVRPAGE.DOC
-
- This is the cover page for your manual.
-
- TOC.DOC
-
- This is your Table of contents that goes just after the cover
- page in the front of the manual.
-
- MANUAL.DOC
-
- This is the actual Users Manual. This is normally the largest
- file of the 4 files created. If this is a DEMO version of
- SUPERMANual, it will be 6 pages MAX.
