- THE ROUTINE MASTER
- Advanced Code Generator for VB4
- -----------------------------------
-
- The Routine Master is a VB4 addin that helps the programmer in
- writing subs, functions and property procedures in a snap.
- You can specify the list of parameters and local variables, add
- an error handler, prevent from recursion, include a remark banner
- and trace statements, with just a few clicks of the mouse.
-
- The Routine Master is especially useful when it comes the time
- to write Property procedures. You can generate the code for
- read-write, read-only or write-only properties, as well as
- "wrapper" procedures that return the value of a member variable.
- You can even automatically generate all the code needed to
- implement "enumerated" procedures, i.e. procedures that return a
- string or a variant but are internally stored as an integer value.
-
- The shareware version of The Routine Master is completely functional,
- only you have to type a random password each time you invoke it.
-
- The registered version adds the capability to generate more procedures
- in one call, and to save settings for reuse in future sessions.
- Registration is just $10, plus $2 for each registered user.
- For more details see the TRM.HLP help file.

- INSTALLATION NOTES
- ------------------
-
- The Routine Master is designed to work as a VB4 addin,
- but also works in stand-alone mode, though a few features
- won't be available in the latter case.
-
- You will find two versions of the program: TRM.EXE is for 32-bit
- Windows platforms (win95 and NT), TRM16.EXE is for Windows 3.1.
-
- To install The Routine Master, simply copy the TRM.EXE (or TRM16.EXE)
- and TRM.HLP files in a directory of your choice. If you did not install
- VB4 bit you should also copy TABCTL32.OCX (or TABCTL16.OCX) into your
- SYSTEM directory and use the REGOCX32.EXE (or REGOCX16.EXE) utility
- to register it, issueing the following command from the Dos prompt
-
- REGOCX32 TABCLT32
- or
- REGOCX16 TABCLT16
-
- At this point you may run the TRM.EXE executable file once.
- This will install the program as a OLE server and will notify
- Visual Basic that it is ready to work as an addin.
- You may now close the program, start VB4 and enable it in the
- Add-In menu.
-
- If you are working under Win95 or NT, the 32-bit version of TRM
- will work fluently with both versions of VB4.
-
- To uninstall The Routine Master you may run it with the /UNREGSVR
- flag on the command line. The next time VB4 will be executed it
- will issue a warning that the addin is missing, and will remove
- it from the list of available addins.
-
- That's it! Enjoy the program.
