- The Enumerator Professional(tm) Version 2.03
-
- (c)1993 Les Gainous - All rights reserved.
-
- The Enumerator Professional is a tool to print all source code from all
- libraries and all objects in one (or more) forms. The major advantage
- between this product and the Language|Browse Sources menu choice from
- within the ObjectPAL(tm) editor, is that Language|Browse Sources will
- only print source code for only one form at a time. The Enumerator
- Professional will print multiple forms and multiple libraries at one time!
-
-
- Installation:
-
- Copy all the files to any subdirectory on your fixed disk. From the
- Paradox(r) main menu, make this directory your working directory through
- the "File|Working Directory" menu choice. The Enumerator Professional is
- ready for use.
-
-
- Basic Usage:
-
- Open (run) the form "enumpro.fdl" and click (with the mouse) the "Begin"
- button. You may optionally choose "Enum|Begin" from the menu bar. Select
- one or more forms and/or libraries (*.fsl and *.lsl, respectively) by
- clicking the mouse on any filename on the right side of the file
- browser. To select more than one, hold down the Shift key while
- clicking. You may also change the directory path in this file browser.
- The default directory path is your current working directory.
-
- When finished choosing files, click the OK button to continue, or click
- "Cancel" to quit.
-
- You will see any forms selected displayed briefly as The Enumerator
- Professional processes each one. A status message at the bottom of the
- Paradox desktop displays the count of the current object being
- processed. Upon completion, a final status window will appear on your
- screen.
-
-
- Common mistakes:
-
- If you run low or run out of memory, then decrease the number of selected
- files picked from the filebrowser. Only choose a few (or even one) at a
- time.
-
- Any other problem should be directed to the author using the information
- at the end of this document.
-
-
- Caveats:
-
- As with any product, there is room for improvement and enhancements.
- Registered users will receive free update(s) to The Enumerator
- Professional as they become available.
-
-
- Registration Plea:
-
- This is an informal plea to register your copy of The Enumerator
- Professional. A lot of sweat and headaches went into learning the new
- Paradox for Windows object-based paradigm. As a developer of ObjectPAL,
- you no doubt can relate to this! All I ask is a registration fee is only
- $25 (USD) to help ease the pain of the long nights spent absorbing this
- new language. Actually, any amount will suffice ($5, $10, etc.)!
-
- Why register?
-
- Registered users will receive nomimal-fee (probable free) update(s) to
- The Enumerator Professional.
-
- You will not have to "put up" with the nonregistered version dialog box
- at the beginning of the program! The final printout of your source code
- will also have a registration notice.
-
- It is ethical to do so, if you use The Enumerator Professional more than
- just for evaluation purposes.

- Revision History:
-
- 1.0 04/15/93
-
- Initial release of The Enumerator Professional
-
- 1.5 04/22/93
-
- o True, automatic printing of the enumerated source code directly to a
- printer, complete with headings (date, time, page number, object's name,
- etc.) and formatted output using non-proportional fonts
-
- o Lifted the restriction of having this program reside in the same
- subdirectory as the forms/libraries
-
- o Option for automatically removing the enumerated text files after
- printing is complete
-
- o "Tweaked" for better and faster performance
-
- o Enhanced interface
-
-
- 2.0 05/02/93
-
- o Printout of your source code is now "sectioned-off" by form/library,
- then by object, then by method. Now longer will an "ugly" method
- separator be printed, such as:
-
- ;|BeginMethod|#Page2.btnCancel|pushButton
-
- the above line is now replaced by a more pleasing line.
-
- o no two methods will "butt" against each other. There is now space
- between the end of a method and the next method's "nice" header line
-
- o added graphics on the buttons
-
- o this utility's work files are automatically removed upon completion of
- program
-
- o full "hot-key" support. This utility may be used without a mouse, if
- needed
-
- o enhanced dialog boxes
-
-
- 2.01 05/05/93
-
- o Headings on printout are now "pinned" to stay in place. Page numbers
- should no longer be truncated.
-
- o actual source code is printed in a non-proportional font to allow for
- embedded tabs to line up correctly in your code
-
- o the Paradox system menu no longer stays when some "secondary" forms are
- displayed (dialog box, etc.)
-
-
- 2.02 05/18/93
-
- o Eliminated problem printing to certain laser printers (heading box would
- be 'darkened' and opaque)
-
-
- 2.03 07/13/93
-
- o Eliminated bug when pressing Alt-X to exit. This constantly produced GPF
- errors.
