CRC Tool Version 1.0 Release Notes
This is the production release for a Class-Responsibility-
Collaboration (CRC) Object-Oriented Design Tool, CRC Tool. This
release has the basic functionality to do responsibility driven
design as described in Designing Object-Oriented Software by
Wirfs-Brock, Wilkerson and Wiener.
The Win32 version of this program requires the ctl3d32.dll to be
installed in the system directory. The winnt directory contains
the file for Windows NT 3.5. The win31 directory contains the
file for Windows 3.1. To run the Win32 version of CRC Tool under
Windows 3.1 requires Win32s 1.2 or later. This can be obtained
from Compuserve or from ftp.microsoft.com on the Internet. The
Windows 3.1 version of this program does not use the ctl3d.dll
to create a 3-D look, since it was found to be incompatible.
This program is offered as shareware. This program is not
freeware. Pricing for CRC Tool 1.0 is $40 for an individual
license. A corporate license is $200.

Known problems:
an anemic help file
inconsistent keyboard accelerators in dialogs

and vice versa via the keyboard
Features to be added as time permits:
page numbers on print out
commands to expand and contract the hierarchical tree in the
System View list
collaboration graphs
undo delete
exception handling
save views and window status for a design on close
merge input design files
option to display WYSIWYG size cards with scrollbars in card
views
consistency check; e.g. contracts have responsibilities,
contracts have clients, abstract classes don't inherit from
concrete classes, etc.
selection of classes and subsystems for printing of cards
statistics/cross-reference: e.g. what classes use a given
contract, etc.
hypertext design document in html output format
hypertext design document in winhelp rtf format
drag 'n drop between all views
add font selection, card size, line height, and print backs
option to print preview toolbar
write design to a database

1. 32-bit version supports long filenames.
2. 32-bit version under Win32s does not work with all printer
drivers, e.g. HP 520.
3. 16-bit version does not have 3-D look on controls in dialogs.
Installation:
For Windows NT
1. Create a directory for CRC Tool.
e.g.
md c:\crctool
2. Use pkunzip to unzip the crctol32.zip file into the directory
created.
e.g.
cd c:\crctool
pkunzip -d a:crctol32.zip
3. Use program manager to create a new group and an icon for CRC
Tool.
4. If necessary, copy the winnt\ctl3d32.dll to the
winnt\system32 directory.
e.g.
copy c:\crctool\winnt\ctl3d32.dll c:\winnt\system32
For Window 3.1 (16-bit version)
1. Create a directory for CRC Tool.
e.g.
md c:\crctool
2. Use pkunzip to unzip the crctol16.zip file into the directory
created.
e.g.
cd c:\crctool
pkunzip a:crctol16.zip
3. Use program manager to create a new group and an icon for CRC
Tool.
For Window 3.1 (32-bit version)
1. Obtain and install Win32s 1.2 or later.
2. Follow steps 1-3 of Windows NT installation
3. If necessary, copy the win31\ctl3d32.dll to the
windows\system directory.
