Improvements Since
CTools‚Ñ¢ version 2.16:

The jump from 2.16 to 2.2 was all on unreleased versions.  I decided to start with the next highest, relatively even, version number, for this release.

Pascal to C improvements:
• Fixed it to handle many, many more character case discrepancies than before, on commonly encountered keywords.
• Added translate table entries to add left and right parens after many common toolbox calls having no arguments.
(i.e. InitWindows; to InitWindows ();).
• Added translations for some minor, yet omitted, keywords and other things. (see Appendix)
• Patched some small translation items resulting in less (or easier to do) manual editing.
• Translate table additions: 135.
• Added conversion for Pascal’s ‘@’ operator to C’s ‘&’ operator.

Other Improvements:
• Made CTools™ save ‘TEXT’ files with its own signature, ‘GH22’ for quick spotting in the Finder and SFGet dialog.
• Gave CTools™ a new color icon.
• Added color animated cursor during long processes.
• Added “Select All” to the Edit Menu.
• Added command key modifiers to the CTools™ menu items.

To Do List:
- Make it handle ‘for’ loops.    √ done (95%)
- Make it handle switches more completely.
- Make it do constants better.    ‚àö done (90%)
- Improve typedef and record conversion.     ‚àö done
- Add ‘()’ after argumentless routine calls.
- Make comment styles selectable.    ‚àö done
- Make source formatter configurable.
- Correct left off paren on do-while loop.
- Fix start brace dislocation in procedure parsing routine.
- Fix missing ‘;’ on line before before ‘else’.
- Put in more ‘&’ where needed.
- Make Proto Gen work right for new and old style, so it’s more usable.

...eventually...
- Do C to Pascal.
- Do batch translating.
- Do flow of whole program
(That oughta keep me busy!)
