SECTION 1: Introduction
────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
What's in ToolDriver?
■ An integrated window environment for running the ConVal programming
tools below.
■ FileXref - cross references your files and names. It reads text
files and documents their use of other files and words you've
selected. It works on many languages including C, C++, Pascal,
COBOL, BAS, MASM, SQL, Fortran, and xBase.
■ NameChanger - transforms names in the files associated with your
application.
■ See the file PACKLIST.DOC for a short description of each file supplied
with ToolDriver.
Hardware and software requirements
ToolDriver runs on machines with an 80286 or higher processor and running
DOS 3.1 or higher. A hard disk, at least one floppy drive, and 2 megabytes
of RAM are required to run ToolDriver. It uses 1.4 megabytes of hard disk
space.
ToolDriver supports (but does not require) any Windows-compatible mouse.
Microsoft Windows is not required

The ToolDriver package
Your ToolDriver package consists of an installation disk and a ToolDriver
User's Guide (this document). The disk contains all the programs and files
you need to cross reference your source files and make changes to your
naming conventions.
SECTION 2: Installing ToolDriver
────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
The ToolDriver installation procedure will verify that you have enough
space on your hard drive, create directories as needed and transfer files
from your distribution diskettes to your hard disk. Its actions are self-
explanatory; the following instructions tell you all you need to know.
To install ToolDriver:
1. Insert the installation disk into drive A. Type the following
command, then press Enter.
A:INSTALL
2. Press Enter again when the installation program displays its
initial screen.
3. Follow the installation prompts.
4. At the end of installation, you may want to add this line to your
CONFIG.SYS file:
FILES=20
Running ToolDriver
Once you've installed ToolDriver, and if you're anxious to get up and
running, change to the TOOLDRIV directory (if you didn't pick another name
yourself), type TD and press Enter.
Use the help key, F1, to learn about ToolDriver as you use it.
Otherwise, continue reading this documentation to see what ToolDriver does.

SECTION 3: ToolDriver Basics
────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
The ToolDriver platform for organizing files and names was developed using
Borland's Turbo Vision for C++. It has everything you need to setup, run,
view and print output from cross referencing as well as name-changing
functions.
It provides:
■ multiple resizable windows that can be moved
■ mouse support and dialog boxes
■ cut, paste, and copy commands using a clipboard
■ a small, fast editor for preparing and revising input files
■ online Help
■ quick access to other programs and back again
This section explains the following topics:
■ starting and exiting ToolDriver
■ working with windows
■ using dialog boxes to communicate with ToolDriver
Starting ToolDriver
To start ToolDriver, go to the ToolDriver directory ( C:\TOOLDRIV by
default ), type TD and press Enter at the DOS prompt.
Exiting ToolDriver
There are two ways to leave ToolDriver:
■ Choose File│Quit to leave ToolDriver completely; you have to type
TD again to reenter it. You'll be prompted to save your work before
exiting, if you haven't already done so.
■ Choose File│DOS Shell to shell out from ToolDriver to enter
commands at the DOS command line. When you're ready to return to
ToolDriver, type EXIT at the command line and press Enter. You will
be able to resume work just as you left it.
The User Interface
ToolDriver has three visible objects: a menu bar at the top of the screen,
a window area in the middle, and a status line at the bottom of the screen.
If you are already familiar with the Borland IDE interface, then you may
want to skip the rest of this section and read the sections on cross
referencing (See FileXref, page 29) and changing names (See NameChanger,
Page 40.
Selection of some menu commands will make a dialog box visible. There are
several methods for selecting commands, but regardless of the method, the
end result is the same.
11
The menu bar and menus
The menu bar is your primary access to all the commands on the menu. It is
always visible except when you're viewing your program's output or
transferring to another program.
Here is how you choose menu commands using the keyboard:
1. Press F10. This makes the menu bar active. The next thing you type
will relate to items on the menu bar.
2. Use the left and right arrow keys to select the menu you want to
display. Then press Enter.
As a shortcut for this step, you can just press the highlighted
letter of the menu title. For example, when the menu bar is active
press N to move to and display the NameChanger menu.
A third way of doing this step is to hold down the Alt key and then
press a highlighted letter from the menu bar titles (such as Alt+N)
to display the menu you want.
3. Use the up and down arrows now to select a command from the menu
displayed.
At this point ToolDriver either carries out the command or displays a
dialog box.
There are two ways to choose menu commands with a mouse:
1. Click the desired menu title to display the menu and click the
desired command from the menu.
2. Or, drag straight from the menu title down to the menu command.
Release the mouse button on the command you want. (If you change
your mind, just drag off the menu and no command will be chosen.)
Some menus and menu commands are unavailable when it would make no sense to
choose them.
Following are lists of keyboard shortcuts (or hot keys) for accessing the
menu bar, choosing menu commands, and working with dialog boxes.

Working with windows
Most of what you see and do in ToolDriver happens in a window. A window is
a screen area that you can open, close, move, resize, zoom, tile, and
overlap.
You can have many windows open in ToolDriver, but only one window can be
active at any time. Any menu command you choose or text you type generally
applies only to the active window.
You can easily spot the active window - it's the one with the double-lined
border around it. The active window always has a close box, a zoom box, and
scroll bars. If your windows are overlapping, the active window is always
on top of all the others.
There are several types of windows, but most of them have these things in
common:
■ a title bar
■ a close box
■ scroll bars
■ a zoom box
■ a window number (1 to 9)
An edit window also displays the current line and column numbers in the
lower left corner. If you've modified your file, an asterisk (*) appears to
the left of the column and line numbers.
The following figure shows a typical window:

The close box of a window is the box in the upper left corner. Click this
box to quickly close the window. (Or choose Window│Close.) The help windows
are considered temporary. You can close them by pressing Esc.
The title bar, the topmost horizontal bar of a window, contains the name of
the window and the window number. Double-clicking the title bar zooms the
window. You can also drag the title bar to move the window around.
16
The zoom box of a window appears in the upper right corner. If the icon in
that corner is an up arrow (), you can click the arrow to enlarge the
window to the largest possible size. If the icon is a double-headed arrow
(), the window is already at its maximum size. In that case, clicking it
returns the window to its previous size. To zoom a window from the
keyboard, choose Window│Zoom.
The first nine windows you open in ToolDriver have a window number in the
upper right border. You can make a window active (and bring it to the top)
by pressing Alt and the window number. For example if the FileXref output
report window is window number 4 and it's behind other windows, then Alt+4
brings it to the top so it's fully visible.
Scroll bars are horizontal or vertical bars that look like this:
▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓■▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓
Scroll bars show you where you are in relation to what you're viewing. You
use these bars with a mouse to scroll the contents of the window. Click the
arrow at either end to scroll one line at a time. (Keep the mouse button
pressed to scroll continuously.) You can click the shaded area to either
side of the scroll box to scroll a page at a time.
Finally, you can drag the scroll box to any spot on the bar to quickly move
to a spot in the window relative to the position of the scroll box.
You can drag any corner to make a window larger or smaller. To resize from
the keyboard, choose Size/Move from the Window menu. Press enter when
finished to get out of the sizing/moving mode.
Table 6 is a quick reference for using windows in ToolDriver. Note that you
don't need a mouse to perform these actions - a keyboard works fine too.

Dialog boxes
A menu command with an ellipsis (...) after it leads to a dialog box.
Dialog boxes offer a convenient way to view and set multiple options. When
you're making settings in dialog boxes, you work with five basic types of
onscreen controls: action buttons, radio buttons, check boxes, input boxes,
and list boxes.
Action buttons
│ OK │
│ Cancel │
Above are two action buttons, OK and Cancel. If you choose OK, the choices
in the dialog box are accepted; if you choose Cancel, nothing changes, no
action takes place, and the dialog box is put away. Choose Help to open a
Help window about this dialog box. Esc is always a keyboard shortcut for
Cancel (even if no Cancel button appears).
If you're using a mouse, click the dialog-box button you want. When you're
using the keyboard, press Alt and the highlighted letter of a command to
activate it. For example Alt+C selects the Cancel button because the C in
Cancel is highlighted. Press Tab or Shift+Tab to move forward or back from
one item to another in a dialog box. Each element is highlighted when it
becomes active.
In this dialog box, OK is the default button, which means you need only
press Enter to choose the button. (On monochrome systems, arrows indicate
the default; on color monitors, default buttons are highlighted.) Be aware
that tabbing to a button makes that button the default.
Radio Buttons and check boxes
┌───────────────────────────────────┐
│ Radio Buttons Check Boxes │
│ ( ) Option 1 ( ) Option A │
│ (X) Option 2 (X) Option B │
│ ( ) Option 3 ( ) Option C │
│ (X) Option D │
└───────────────────────────────────┘
Radio buttons are like car-radio buttons. They come in groups, and only one
radio button in the group can be on at any one time. To choose a radio
button, click it or its text. From the keyboard, select Alt and the
highlighted letter, or press Tab until the group is highlighted, and then
use the arrow keys to choose a particular radio button. Press Tab or
Shift+Tab again to leave the group with the new radio button chosen.
Section 1 Check boxes differ from radio buttons in that you can have any
number of check boxes checked at any time. When you select a check box, an
X appears in it to show you it's on. An empty box indicates it's off. To
change the status of a check box, click it or its text, press Tab until the
check box is highlighted and then press Spacebar, or select Alt plus the
highlighted letter.
19
If several check boxes apply to a topic, they appear as a group. In that
case, tabbing moves to the group. Once the group is selected, use the arrow
keys to select the item you want, and then press Spacebar to check or
uncheck it. On monochrome monitors, the active check box or group of check
boxes will have a chevron symbol (») to the left and right. When you press
Tab, the chevrons move to the next group of check boxes or radio buttons.
Input boxes and list boxes
Input boxes let you type in text. Most basic text-editing keys work in the
text box (for example, arrow keys, Home, End, and Ins). If you continue to
type once you reach the end of the box, the contents automatically scroll.
If there's more text than shows in the box, arrowheads appear at the end (
and ). You can click the arrowheads to scroll or drag the text. If you
need to enter control characters (such as ^L or ^M) in the input box, then
prefix the character with a ^P. So, for example, to enter ^M into the input
box, hold down the Ctrl key and press PM. (This capability is useful for
search strings.)
If an input box has a down-arrow icon to its right, there is an associated
history list. Click the icon to display the list. You'll find text you
typed the last few times you used the input box. Press Enter to choose an
item from this list. The Find box, for example, has such a history list,
which keeps track of the text you searched for previously. Try choosing a
previous search string. You can also edit an entry in the history list.
Press Esc to exit from the history list without making a selection.
A final component of many dialog boxes is a list box, which lets you scroll
through and select from variable-length lists (often file names) without
leaving a dialog box. If a blinking cursor appears in the list box and you
know what you're looking for, you can type the word (or the first few
letters of the word) and ToolDriver will search for it.
You make a list box active by clicking it or by choosing the highlighted
letter of the list title (or press Tab until it's highlighted). Once a list
box is displayed, you can use the scroll box to move through the list or
press the up and down arrows from the keyboard.
SECTION 4: Menus and options reference
────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
This section provides a reference to each ToolDriver menu option. It's
arranged in the order that the menus appear on the screen. For information
on starting and exiting ToolDriver, and general information on how the user
interface works, see Section 1.
Next to some of the menu option descriptions in this reference you'll see
keyboard shortcuts, or hot keys.
≡ (System) menu Alt+Spacebar
The ≡ menu appears on the far left of the menu bar. Alt+Spacebar is the
fastest way to get there. When you pull down the menu (by using the down
arrow) you see two commands, Register and Product Information.
Register
Choose ≡│Register to print a ToolDriver Registration form. A file print
dialog will be presented, with the file REGISTER.DOC selected. Just press
enter to print the registration form.
20
Product Information
The ≡│Product Information menu command displays the version of ToolDriver
you are running. The same information displays when you initially bring up
ToolDriver. Put this information away by pressing enter.
File menu Alt+F
The file menu lets you open and view files in a file viewer window. It also
lets you print files, change the working directory, shell to DOS and exit
the ToolDriver environment.
View F2
The File│View command displays a file-selection dialog box for you to
select a text file to open in a file viewer window. Here is what the box
looks like:

╚══════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝
The dialog box contains an input box, a file list, buttons labeled, Open
and Cancel, and an information panel that describes the selected file. Now
you can do any of these actions:
■ Type in a full file name and choose Open. Open loads the file into
a file viewer window.
■ Type in a file name with wildcards, which filters the file list to
match your specifications.
■ Press to choose a file specification from a history list of file
specifications you've entered earlier.
■ View the contents of different directories by selecting a directory
name in the file list.
The input box lets you enter a file name explicitly or enter a file name
with standard DOS wildcards (* and ?) to filter the names appearing in the
history list box. If you enter the entire name and press enter, ToolDriver
opens it for viewing.
21
If you press when the cursor is blinking in the input box, a history list
drops down below
the box. This list displays the last 15 file names or file name masks
you've entered. Choose a name from the list by double-clicking it or
selecting it with the arrow keys and pressing Enter.
Once you've typed in or selected the file you want, choose the Open button
(choose Cancel if you change your mind). You can also just press Enter once
the file is selected, or you can double-click the file name in the file
list.
Using the file list box
The File list box displays all file names in the current directory that
match the specifications in the input box, displays the parent directory,
and displays all subdirectories. Click the list box or press Tab until the
list box name is highlighted. You can now press or to select a filename
and then press Enter to open it. You can also double-click any file name in
the box to open it. You might have to scroll the box to see all the names.
If you have more than one panel of names, you can also use the left and
right arrows.
The file information panel at the bottom of the View a file dialog box
displays path name, file name, date, time and size of the file you've
selected in the list box. As you scroll through the list box, the panel is
updated for each file.
Print
The File│Print command displays a file-selection dialog box for you to
select a text file to be printed. It looks and functions like the File│View
command except that the output will be routed to your printer instead of a
file viewer. Use this option to print the report file (FILEXREF.PRN)
produced by the FileXref tool.
Change Dir
The File│Change Dir command lets you specify a drive and a directory to
make current. The current directory is the one ToolDriver uses for viewing
and printing files. Note that choices on the FileXref and NameChanger menus
will always reset the current directory to the ToolDriver installation
directory, where its control files reside.
The Change Directory dialog box looks like is shown on the next page:

╚══════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝
There are two ways to change directories:
■ Type in the path of the new directory in the input box and press Enter
■ Choose the directory you want in the directory tree (if you're using
the keyboard, press Enter to make it the current directory), then
choose OK or press Esc.
If you choose the OK button, your changes are made and the dialog box is
closed. If you choose the Chdir button, the Directory Tree list box changes
to the selected directory and displays the subdirectories of the currently
highlighted directory (pressing Enter or double-clicking on that entry
gives you the same result). If you change your mind about the directory
you've picked and you want to go back to the previous one (and you've yet
to exit the dialog box), choose the Revert button.
Running commands under the FileXref and NameChanger menus automatically
changes the directory to the ToolDriver installation directory where their
program and help files reside.
DOS Shell
The File│DOS Shell command lets you temporarily exit ToolDriver to enter a
DOS command or program. To return to ToolDriver, type EXIT and press Enter.
Don't install any TSR programs (like SideKick) or print a file with the DOS
print command while you've shelled to DOS, because memory may be
misallocated.
23
Quit Alt+Q
The File│Quit command exits ToolDriver and removes it from memory. If you
have made any changes you haven't saved, ToolDriver asks if you want to
save them before exiting.
Edit menu Alt+E
The Edit menu lets you cut, copy, and paste text in edit windows. You can
also open a Clipboard window to view or edit its contents. This window is
also used to edit the file extension control table.
An edit window is only created by ToolDriver, to support the creation and
modification of input files it requires. Edit (and Search) menu commands
are disabled otherwise.
File edit windows are presented in these cases:
■ when you choose the Edit│File Extensions option (This allows you to
modify the list of rules for associating file extensions to the
source language types
they contain.)
■ after processing the FileXref│Generate dialog (This allows you to
modify the list of files to be cross referenced.)
■ after choosing the FileXref│Edit command (This allows you to modify
a list of words to be cross referenced.) (You do not need to list
the names of any files here - they are automatically cross
referenced.)
■ after processing the NameChanger│Generate dialog (This allows you
to modify the list of files to be name-changed.)
■ after choosing the NameChanger│Edit command (This allows you to
specify the names to be changed and what they are to be changed
to.) (Names may be file names; variable names; i.e. any complete
symbol)
Before you can use most of the commands on the edit menu, you need to know
about selecting text (because most editor actions apply to selected text).
Selecting text means highlighting it. You can select text either with
keyboard commands or with a mouse; the principle is the same even though
the actions are different.
From the keyboard
■ Press Shift while pressing any key that moves the cursor.
Using a mouse
■ To select text with a mouse, drag the mouse pointer over the
desired text. If you need to continue the selection past a window's
edge, just drag off the side and the window automatically scrolls.
24
■ To select a single word, double-click it.
■ To extend or reduce the selection, Shift-click anywhere in the
document (that is, hold Shift and click). Once you've selected
text, the Cut and Copy commands in the Edit menu become available.
The Clipboard is the magic behind cutting and pasting. It's a special
window that holds text you cut or copied, so you can paste it elsewhere.
The Clipboard works in close concert with the commands in the Edit menu.
The next few pages contain an explanation of each command in the Edit menu.
File Extension
The File Extension command brings up an edit box for you to define the
source file extensions you use and the type of data they contain. The name
of the file being edited is TOOLDRIV.EXT. It is a text file and may contain
two types of records:
1. Comments begin with two dashes "--".
2. File attribute records contain four columns each. They associate a
file extension with the type of file it is. All extensions in this
list should point to text files. Unpredictable results will occur
with non-text files. The data is freeform ( where one blank is
allowed, you may use several).
Column layout:
┌────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ 1 2 3 4 │
├───────────┬─────────────────────┬───────────────┬──────────┤
│ file │ f - fixed length │ maximum │ source │
│ extension │ v - variable length │ record length │ language │
└───────────┴─────────────────────┴───────────────┴──────────┘
Following are the defaults provided at install time:
Note that COBOL, FORTRAN, and PL/I need to be fixed length with 80
character records.
25

Change this file if you use other file extensions for the supported
language codes (or to cross reference other languages using one of these
parsers). So if you use Oracle's PRO*C (C code with embedded SQL) and use
the file extension .PC to distinguish these special files, then add the
following line.
PC v 255 c/c++
Be sure to type the language code exactly as shown above.
Cut Shift+Del
The Edit│Cut command removes the selected text from your document and
places the text in the Clipboard. You can then paste that text into any
other document (or somewhere else in the same document) by choosing Paste.
The text remains selected in the Clipboard so that you can paste the same
text many times.
Copy Ctrl+Ins
The Edit│Copy command leaves the selected text intact but places an exact
copy of it in the Clipboard. You can then paste that text into any other
document by choosing Paste.
Paste Shift+Ins
The Edit│Paste command inserts from the Clipboard into the current edit
window at the cursor position. The text that is pasted is the currently
marked block in the Clipboard window.
26
Show Clipboard
The Edit│Show Clipboard command opens the Clipboard window, which stores
the text you cut and copy from other windows. The text that's currently
selected (highlighted) is the text ToolDriver uses when you choose Paste.
You can think of the Clipboard window as a history list of your cuts and
copies. You can edit the Clipboard so that the text you paste is precisely
the text you want. ToolDriver uses whatever text is selected in the
Clipboard when you choose Paste.
The Clipboard window is just like other edit windows; you can move it,
resize it, and scroll and edit its contents. The only difference you'll
find in the Clipboard window is when you choose to cut or copy text. When
you select text in the Clipboard window and choose Cut or Copy, the
selected text immediately appears at the bottom of the window. (Remember,
any text you cut or copy is appended to the end of the Clipboard and
highlighted - so you can paste it later.
Search menu Alt+S
The Search menu lets you search and replace text in edit windows.
Find Ctrl+Q+F
The Search│Find command displays the Find Text dialog box, which lets you
type in the text you want to search for and set options that affect the
search.

The Replace Text dialog box contains several radio buttons and check boxes
- many of which are identical to the Find Text dialog box, discussed
previously. An additional checkbox, Prompt on Replace, controls whether you
want to be prompted for each change.
Enter the search string and the replacement string in the input boxes and
choose OK to begin the search or Cancel to not do it. If you want to enter
a string you used previously, press to show a history list to choose
from.
If ToolDriver finds the specified text and Prompt on Replace is on, it asks
you if you want to make the replacement. If you choose OK, it will find and
replace the first instance of the search item.
Search Again Ctrl+L
The Search│Search Again command repeats the last Find or Replace command.
All settings you made in the last dialog box used (Find or Replace) remain
in effect when you choose Search Again.
28
FileXref Menu Alt+X
The FileXref menu item is the one to choose when you want to see how your
text files relate to one another. This option is also used to find the
global usage of words (data names, function names, table columns, language
verbs, etc.) throughout your source and documentation files. Any text files
may be cross referenced.
The menu item is named FileXref since it uses the ConVal FILEXREF.EXE
program to do the cross referencing.
There are four supporting options on this menu:
■ Files to cross reference
■ Words to cross reference
■ Start cross referencing
■ View the output log
A complete example of cross referencing will be provided, showing all
inputs and outputs.
Files to cross reference

╚════════════════════════════════════════════════╝
If you check the check box and enter a directory (as above), ToolDriver
will prepare a file list for you, using the TOOLDRIV.EXT control file (see
Page 25) where you defined the file extensions you use for source and
documentation. The list of file names will be written to file FILEXREF.FSL,
a file specification list. The list will include files in the directory
entered and in its subdirectories and their subdirectories (the directory
tree). To select from all files on a hard disk, say D, then enter D: as the
starting point.
Note: If you enter a file with an extension not listed in TOOLDRIV.EXT,
then it will be handled by default as a "textFile" language code.
29
Check the check box and use the default directory of C:\TOOLDRIV to have a
file specification list like the following generated by ToolDriver:
───────────────────────────────────────────────────
-- This is a file specification list for FILEXREF.
C:\TOOLDRIV\README.DOC
C:\TOOLDRIV\HISTORY.DOC
C:\TOOLDRIV\PACKLIST.DOC
C:\TOOLDRIV\REGISTER.DOC
───────────────────────────────────────────────────
This is the list of files used in the sample reports.
There are two line types in the file specification list:
1. Comment lines contain "--" in the first two columns.
2. File specification lines contain one file specification surrounded by
white space. The general syntax is:
[drive:][path]filename.ext
Press F3 to save your changes or F4 to close the window (this will cause a
prompt to save).
NOTE: The ToolDriver editor can handle files up to 64K. This will handle
several thousand file names. If your application is larger than this, we
assume you have an editor! Shell to DOS from ToolDriver, edit the list with
that editor, and return to do the cross referencing.
Words to cross reference
This menu option allows you to identify additional words ( other than the
file names defined above) to be cross referenced. You can list words to be
included and words to be excluded. You can also specify where you want the
searching to be case sensitive and where it doesn't matter. (The default
for searching is case sensitive)
What do we mean by "word"? We mean that which is inbetween white space.
White space is here loosely defined to be those characters which are NOT
used to form symbols in a source language. You will see a complete example
below. You can also identify a set of words to be included where they share
a common prefix.
All of these are communicated to ToolDriver via a "word specification list"
file named FILEXREF.WSL. This file contains three types of lines:
1. Comment lines have "--' in the first two columns. Comments may be
placed anywhere in the file.
30
2. Option lines have "++" in the first two columns. Options are toggles.
They may be placed anywhere. Four toggle options are supported:
■ CaseSensitive Be sensitive to case when searching for the words
that follow. (this is the default)
■ CaseInsensitive Ignore the case when searching for the words that
follow.
■ Include Include the following words in the search list. (This is
the default)
■ Exclude Exclude the following words from the search list so that
they do not appear on cross reference reports. Excluded
items will automatically marked as case sensitive. The
use of "*" is not supported for excluded words.
3. Word specification lines have a single word surrounded by white space.
Note that word phrases are not cross referenced, just individual words.
When you select the "Words to cross reference" option, ToolDriver will
provide a file edit window for you to define your word cross referencing
needs. The starter file provided with ToolDriver is shown below:
────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
-- This is the word specification list used by the cross rererence
-- utility. For more information, see the end of this file.

The control file above directs the cross reference process to include all
words starting with "re", and the specific words "Visual" and "window".
These three searches are to be case sensitive. It also calls for cross
referencing the words "COLUMN_NAME" and "HELP", regardless of case. Finally
it provides a list of words is to be excluded. This will cause the words
"register" and "return" to be excluded from the output.
Start cross referencing
Once you've set up the list of files to be examined and (optionally) the
words to search for, select this menu item to initiate cross referencing.
This is what the associated dialog looks like:

Four types of output are available.
1. The extended report format displays the full file specification
(drive, path, file name and extension). This choice produces these
reports
■ Extended File Cross Reference Report,
■ Extended Word Usage Report, and
■ List of Unreferenced Files
to be written to file FILEXREF.PRN.
2. Condensed format produces reports with file names only, without the
path or file extension. The following reports
■ Condensed File Cross Reference Report,
■ Condensed Word Usage Report, and
■ List of Unreferenced Files
will be written to file FILEXREF.PRN.
3. The third style mimics a fully exploded bill of material list. With
this option you may use the SBC input box to control the number of
setback levels to list (the default is 50). Pressing enter creates a
■ File Parts List Report
will be written to file FILEXREF.PRN.
4. Export file format provides a means for you to take the cross
reference information and use it with other software (e.g. a
database program). This option produces
■ cross reference and unreferenced file information
in file FILEXREF.XRF. The information is stored in quote and comma
delimited export format which is supported by many software products.
To choose the optional word cross referencing, type "w" or press the space
bar when the cursor is on "Cross reference words". When you do this, the
word spaceification list will be used (see "Words to cross reference" Page
30). Otherwise it will be ignored for this cross referencing.
Use File│Print to print file FILEXREF.PRN, the report file. Note: The
reports require 132 print positions, so set your printer accordingly.
Extended Reports
The extended report style identifies each file with its full file
specification. This is the default. The first report of the extended series
33
is show below. The center column lists all files in the file list in
alphabetical order by filename. The left- hand column lists files
containing one or more references to the center file's filename. The right-
hand column shows filename references found in the center column's file.
The first line shows usage and component information for HISTORY.DOC. The
filename "HISTORY" was found in the PACKLIST.DOC file, but HISTORY.DOC did
not contain references to any other of the selected files. (References to
its own name are ignored.) The second line shows usage and compoonent
information for PACKLIST.DOC. "PACKLIST" was not mentioned in any other
files. But PACKLIST.DOC referenced all the other file names.
This report can be used to see everywhere in your application that
filenames are specifically referenced. For Oracle users this gives
visability to the form (or forms) which invoke another form or a SQL
script. For those using make files it identifies the make file(s)
referencing each source program.
The files (page 30) and words (page 31) in the four ToolDriver DOC files
produce the following output:

The second in the series of extended reports is the optional word usage
report. The second line shows that the word "HELP" was found in the
HISTORY, PACKLIST, and README DOC files.
Note that the word Visual was not found in any file.

The last in the series of extended reports is the list of unreferenced
files. Although this information is also contained in the first report, if
there are many pages of output the information may be difficult to extract.
This report is very useful as it identifys the top level components of an
application, components not yet integrated, and old obsolete files.
In the example we're following, file PACKLIST.DOC is the only unreferenced
file since it is a packing list containing the names of all the files.

Condensed Reports
The condensed style of reports identify files by their filename alone,
without the drive, path, and file extension. The information content is
parallel to the extended series.
Below is the first of the series of condensed reports. Again file names are
listed in alphabetical order in the center column. To the left are the
files that reference the center column filename and to the right are those
that it references. Note that filename PACKLIST was not referenced by any
other file and that it references the HISTORY, README and REGISTER files.

File Parts List
The file parts list report starts with each file which is an end item (is
not referenced by any other). The complete tree of referenced files is
represented by indenting, with setback codes for reference. Circular
references (loops) are identified when found. When an item has been
exploded earlier you will see the notation "Ref: 1234", where 1234 is the
line where it was first exploded. Following is a sample:

File FILEXREF.XRF is used for the cross reference export data. Each line
has three columns:
1. A symbol
2. The referencing file's specification ( or null if no files reference
the symbol).
3. A seven character flag column. Each position is either 0 (false) or 1
(true). The meanings of each column are shown in Table 7:
38
Table 7: Export file flags
───────────────────────────────────────────────
1234567
-------
The symbol in the first column is:
1...... a filename.
.1..... a whole word.
..1.... a word prefix.
...1... an expansion of a word prefix.
....1.. The symbol was referenced.
.....1. The symbol was marked for inclusion.
......1 The search needs to be case sensitive.

This command gives you a file viewer window to browse the messages about
the cross referencing. These document the scope of the run (files and words
specified, options, and record counts). You can use File│Print to get a
hardcopy of this output. It is stored in FILEXREF.MSG. The output for the

NameChanger menu Alt+N
Use the NameChanger menu whenever you want to go back and make your naming
conventions consistent across your application(s). You might decide to do
this after each revision level is complete to keep order. And, now that you
have such a tool, you may want to go back to some older code you're still
maintaining and clean it up too.
40
You will also want to use the NameChanger menu when you have successful
code on one platform and want to port it to another. Download non-DOS code
to your PC, do the renaming, and recompile on DOS. Or, do renaming, upload
to a non-DOS platform and recompile there.
This command invokes a DOS program - NAMEC.EXE. This may be executed
outside of the ToolDriver environment.
Files to process
This is where you identify the files to be processed by NameChanger. The
dialog box follows:
Figure 15: NameChanger Files dialog

If you check the check box and enter a directory (as above) or drive (like
C:), then a list will be prepared for you. It will be written to file
NAMEC.FSL (File Specification List). The list will include only those files
in the directory entered.
In any case you will be presented with an edit window for this file. So the
content of the file edit window will be what was just generated if you
checked the check box, or it will be as delivered on the installation disk,
or as most recently edited by you.
We will trace a specific NameChanger request using the following
files (from the ToolDriver distibution disk):
───────────────────────────────────────────────────────
-- This data defines the list of files to be processed.
D:\TOOLDRIV\README.DOC
D:\TOOLDRIV\HISTORY.DOC
D:\TOOLDRIV\PACKLIST.DOC
D:\TOOLDRIV\REGISTER.DOC
───────────────────────────────────────────────────────
There are two types of lines in the NameChanger file specification list:
1. A comment line contains "--" in the first two columns.
2. A file specification line contains one file spec surrounded by white
space. The general syntax is:
[drive:][path]filename.ext
41
Press F3 to save your changes or F4 to close the window (this will cause a
prompt to save).
NOTE: The editor can handle files up to 64K. This will handle several
thousand file names. If your application is larger than this we assume you
have an editor! Drop out of ToolDriver, edit the list with that editor, and
return to ToolDriver to change names.
Names to be changed
When you want to define the names to be changed, choose this menu option. A
file editor window will be displayed so you can add one line for each name
change.
─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
-- This is a symbol rename list used by ToolDriver's NameChanger
-- utility.
++CaseInsensitive
EMP_NM Employee_Name
++CaseSensitive
QOH QuantityOnHand
─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
This file contains three types of lines:
1. A comment line has "--' in the first two columns.
2. An option line has "++' in the first two columns followed immediately
by one of these options:
■ CaseSensitive - start case sensitivity
■ CaseInsensitive - start ignoring case
3. A symbol remapping line has two symbols surrounded by white space. The
first symbol will be replaced by the second one. Note that NameChanger
just transforms individual symbols, not partial symbols or multiple
symbols.
The controls above tell NameChanger to transform the complete symbol
"EMP_NM" to "EMPLOYEE_NM" everywhere it's found, independently of the case
used.
The chart below shows the effect:
──────────────────────────────────────
Old Symbol New Symbol
emp_nm EMPLOYEE_NAME
Emp_nm EMPLOYEE_NAME
EMP_NM EMPLOYEE_NAME
EMP_NM2 --- no change ---
P_emp_nm_2 --- no change ---
──────────────────────────────────────
42
It also specifies that the complete symbol "QOH" is to be changed to
"QuantityOnHand", but only where the case matches exactly.
The following shows what this does:
──────────────────────────────────────
Old Symbol New Symbol
qoh --- no change ---
QOH QuantityOnHand
aqohb --- no change ---
──────────────────────────────────────
Start name changing
After you've defined the files and names to be changed, select the "Start
name changing" dialog. It looks like this:

Whenever you do name changing, the output files will be written to a
ToolDriver's subdirectory named WORK. This is the WORK directory's only
purpose. Your files will never be rewritten in place! If you are rerunning
a name changing task, no work will be performed if any output file already
exists on the ToolDriver WORK subdirectory. To delete ALL files in the
working directory, check the checkbox. As a final precaution, you will be
asked to confirm the deletion, when the process starts. This is a reminder
to move our prior output to a permanent home in another directory before
renaming other projects. When the changing of names is complete, you will
be presented with a file viewer window to browse a log of the renaming
activity. This file is NAMEC.MSG.

See the "View a file" dialog description on page 21 for a review of using
this dialog.
Window menu Alt+W
The Window menu contains window-management commands. Most of the windows
you open from this menu have all the standard window elements like scroll
bars, a close box, and zoom boxes. Refer to page 15 for information on
these elements and how to use them.
Size/Move Ctrl+F5
Choose Window│Size/Move to change the size or position of the active
window.
When you choose this command, the active window moves in response to the
arrow keys. When the window is where you want, press Enter. You can also
move a window by dragging its title bar.
If you press shift while you use the arrow keys, you can change the size of
the window. When it's the size you want, press enter. If a window has a
resize corner, you can drag that corner or any other corner to resize it.
Zoom F5
Choose Window│Zoom to resize the active window to the maximum size. If the
window is already zoomed, you can choose this command again to restore it
to its previous size. You can also double-click anywhere on the top line
(except where an icon appears) of a window to zoom or unzoom it.
Tile
Choose Window│Tile to arrange all your open windows like tiles on the
screen.
45
Cascade
Choose Window│Cascade to stack all open windows so the top of each (with
its window number) shows.
Next F6
Choose Window│Next to make the next window active and visible.
Previous Shift+F6
Choose Window│Previous to make the prior window active and visible.
Close F4
To close the current window, press F4.
Help menu Alt+H
The help menu gives you access to online help in a special window. There is
help information on virtually all aspects of the ToolDriver environment. To
open a Help window, do one of these actions:
■ Press F1 at any time (including from any dialog box or when any menu
command is selected).
■ Click Help on the status line.
To close the Help window, press Esc, click the close box, or choose
Window│Close. You can keep the Help window onscreen while you work in
another window unless you pressed F1.
Help screens often contain keywords (highlighted text) that you can choose
to get more information. Press Tab to move to any keyword; press Enter to
get more detailed help. (As an alternative, move the cursor to the
highlighted keyword and press Enter.) With a mouse, you can double-click
any keyword to open the Help text for that item.
When you're in a detailed help screen (you got there from another help
screen by selecting a keyword) and you want to go back to the previous
help, press Alt+F1. By doing this repeatedly you can back-track to the
original help screen where you selected the first keyword.
Contents
The Help│Contents command opens the Help window with the main table of
contents displayed. From this window, you can branch to any other part of
the help system.
You can get help on Help by pressing F1 when the Help window is active. You
can also reach this screen by clicking Help on the status line.
Index
The Help│Index command displays a full list of Help keywords (the special
highlighted text in Help screens that let you quickly move to a related
screen). These are arranged in alphabetical order.
Tab to the item you want and press Enter, or Tab to the "next page" keyword
and press Enter to see the next page of keywords.
Use Alt+F1 to get back to the previous help screen.
