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.
