- SUPERMANual version 1.00
-
-
- SUPERMANual is a program which will extract documentation out of your source
- code which is documented using the enclosed CLIPPER.HDR header.
-
- It is capable of creating the entire Users Manual with Table of Contents that
- can be printed or edited with your word processor.
-
- The file that is created is called MANUAL.DOC. This file is an ASCII file which
- can be edited or printed.
-
- Contents of this Zip are:
-
- READ.ME This ASCII file
- MANUAL.DOC The Manual for example.prg created by MANUAL.EXE
- EXAMPLE.PRG A sample program commented for SUPERMANual
- CLIPPER.HDR The Header file that needs to be placed throughout your source
- code with user instruction for that section of your program.
- MANUAL.EXE The SUPERMANual Program
- MANUAL.DBF Configuration File
-
- After you use this the first time, the following files will be created:
-
- TXT.DBF The Manual Storage Database
- TXT.NTX The Index for the TXT.DBF file
-
- Here is what the header file looks like:
-
- /*
- $SUPERMAN$
- $CHAPTER$
-
- $SUBCHAPTER$
-
- $HEADING$
-
- $TXT$
-
- $END$
- */
-
- Here is how you would use this file.
-
- /*
- $SUPERMAN$ required
- $CHAPTER$ up to 2 digits wide
- 2
- $SUBCHAPTER$ up to 3 digits wide
- 1
- $HEADING$ up to 74 chrs wide
- Command Line Parameters

- How to use SUPERMANual
- ----------------------
-
- We will show you how to use SUPERMANual with the example.prg file that comes with this
- demo.
-
- After unzipping these files into a directory, you need to configure MANUAL.EXE.
-
- This is done by typing MANUAL /c
-
- you will see a screen that looks similar to this:

- FIX.EXE will search your CA/Clipper 5.x LIBS and convert them to
- CA/Clipper 5.20 Libraries by replacing every occurrence of CLIPPER501 with
- CLIPPER520, therefore making them work with CA/Clipper 5.20.

-
- After you press [enter] on the last field, your new info will be saved.
-
- The next step is to run MANUAL on each one of your .prg files.
-
- Since we are now just using the example.prg file, simply type:
-
- MANUAL example [enter]
-
- This will build a database of all of your headers and text for the manual.
-
- If you had more than one .prg file, you would run this on each one.
-
- Here is a list of the command line parameters.
-
- usage: MANUAL filename Will add the [filename].prg text to the
- current manual file. Use this format for
- each of your .prg files for your appli-
- cation to the txt.dbf file.
-
- Do not add the file extension.
- ─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
- MANUAL filename /e the /e switch will empty the txt.dbf file so
- you can start over.
-
- Do not add the file extension.
- ─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
- MANUAL CREATE Will create the finished Manual that is ready
- to print or ready for your word processor.
- ─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
- MANUAL /c To configure this manual.
- ─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
-
- After using MANUAL.EXE on each of your .prg's, it is time to write the manual to
- an ASCII file. To do this, type:
-
- MANUAL create
-
- Before you know it, you will have a file called MANUAL.DOC in your directory,
- ready for printing or word processing.
-
- You can test your manual by typing:
-
- TYPE MANUAL.DOC > PRN [enter]
-
- This demo has two limitations. The first one is that it will only create 6
- pages of your manual.
-
- The second limitation is that it will not produce the table of contents.
-
- The registered version does both plus has support for Laser Printers, Graphics
- Chrs, self designed page header & page footer, and more...
