- INTRODUCTION
- ============
- This file tells you how to use Weaver, a program that fixes
- bugs in source files. If you've never used Weaver before, read
- the section USING WEAVER below. If you've used Weaver before,
- skip down to WHAT'S IN THIS WEAVER SET.
-
- USING WEAVER
- ============
- Weaver is a small program that fixes bugs in source files.
- The program uses a file that contains the fixes (a "delta"
- file and applies them to the original source file.
-
- When you run Weaver, it asks you to choose a delta file. Then
- it asks you to choose the source file that corresponds to the
- delta file.
-
- NOTE: The name of the delta file tells Weaver
- which source file it should look for. For example,
- if the name of the delta file is "delta.myfile.c",
- Weaver looks for the file "myfile.c".
-
- Weaver uses the information in the delta file to update the
- source file. Weaver copies the original source file and renames
- it so it ends with "_old".
-
- STEP BY STEP
- ------------
- Here are step-by-step instructions for using Weaver:
-
- 1. Launch Weaver.
- 2. When you see the first standard file dialog,
- select the delta file and click the Open button.
- 3. When you see the second standard file dialog,
- select the source file and click on the Open button.
- 4. If everything goes well, Weaver will let you
- know.
- 5. Open the project(s) that the source file is used in.
- 6. Choose Make╔ from the Source menu.
- 7. Click on the Use Disk button.
- 8. Click on the Make button.
-
- TROUBLESHOOTING
- ---------------
- Here are a couple of things to try if you're having trouble:
-
- Ñ Make sure you're updating a copy of the
- original file.
-
- Ñ Make sure that the updated file is int the
- proper folder.
-

- WHAT'S IN THIS WEAVER SET
- =========================
- This Weaver set fixes bugs in these files:
-
- Delta File File Which is used in these projects
- ---------- ---- -------------------------------
- delta.scanf.c scanf.c ANSI ANSI-881 ANSI-A4 ANSI-SMALL
-
- Bugs in scanf.c:
-
- 1. scanf() and related functions like atof()
- returned incorrect values for floating point
- numbers less than 0.01.
- 2. The data types float and short double were
- stored incorrectly when you used the ANSI-881
- library.
- 3. String suppression was not always honored.
-
- Follow the instructions in STEP BY STEP above. Be sure to update
- all of the projects that use scanf.c
