Short: 2.2 - Flexible catalogs (C, Asm, Oberon, E, ARexx, Modula...)
Author: Marcin Orlowski <carlos@amiga.com.pl>
Uploader: Marcin Orlowski <carlos@amiga.com.pl>
Type: dev/misc
Version: 2.2
WWW: http://amiga.com.pl/flexcat/
INFO
----------
FlexCat creates catalogs and the source to handle them. The difference
between FlexCat and KitCat, CatComp and some others is, that FlexCat is
designed to produce any source you want: any programming language, any
individual needs should be satisfied. However, FlexCat is not more
difficult to use.
Translators will also find it useful, as, among standard functions
like #?.catalog creation, FlexCat is able to update your #?.ct files
to the new #?.cd files automatically. Give it a try!
This sounds like a contradiction. FlexCat's solution is to use
template files, the so called "source descriptions". Ready to use examples
for Assembler, C, C++, E, Oberon and Modula-2 are distributed, additionally
an example for supporting catalogs on Workbench 2.0. Any other examples
are welcome.
Archives
----------
Since release 2.0, the FlexCat distribiution is splitted into the
smaller archives. They are (in order of importance):
FlexCat.lha - Latest FlexCat, user contribitions, english manual
and foreign catalog files
FlexCat_0x0.lha - patches for 020, 040 and 060 versions of FlexCat
(PPC makes no sense here. I checked that).
FlexCat_ExDocs.lha - FlexCat's guide in non english languages. Currently
Svenska, Espanol and Deutsch are provided
FlexCat_CatSrc.lha - #?.cd and #?.ct files for existing translations and
#?.texinfo documents
FlexCat_Src.lha - C source code for FlexCat itself
If you just want to use FlexCat, the 1st archive is all you need.
If you want to have CPU optimised binaries, take both 1st and 2nd
and patch the original release. If you want to read translated manual,
get the 3rd one. If you want to make the translation take the 4th one
(but I suggesto to join the Amiga Translators' Organisation
<http://ato.vapor.com/ato> first!)
Changes since previous release:
-------------------------------
* v2.1 (11.10.98) - New source descriptor for E programmers (E32e.sd)
by Sven Steiniger <ss37@irz301.inf.tu-dresden.de>
Fixed problem C:Version had with FlexCat (due
to many internal $VERsion strings, THAT one, wasn't
first the one in the executable file).
SDDIR path defined in FlexCat.prefs was always
ignored. Fixed (Magnus Holmgren).
Improved FLUSH function. Now it flushes catalogs
only (Magnus Holmgren).
