- HYPERSIGHT ANNOUNCES THE AVAILABILITY SIGHT-C-ING 2.0. Introductory
- offer available until April 15.
-
- RED BANK, NJ, March 13, 1995 --- Version 2.0 substantially enhances
- SIGHT-C-ING's Source Browser and adds the ability to generate high
- quality documents from commented source code. SIGHT-C-ING's advanced
- browsing features, allow developers to effortlessly identify reusable
- components, determine how classes behave, view object methods by
- type, browse class documentation, and navigate through code.
- Its document generation features eliminate the need to redundantly
- write design documents, commented code, and class descriptive
- documents. The benefits of document generation are higher quality
- design reviews, better commented code, and quality descriptions of
- reusable classes. Developers can also define macros that can be
- included in their commented code. This allows developers to produce
- bullet lists, indents and other formatting affects in their
- documentation.
-
- Until April 28, 1995, SIGHT-C-ING 2.0 is available for $495 to
- commercial customers. This is a $200 savings off SIGHT-C-ING's list
- price of $695. SIGHT-C-ING 2.0 is also available to education
- customers for $99, a savings of $50 off its normal education price of
- $149. Release 1.0 owners can upgrade to SIGHT-C-ING 2.0 for the cost
- of shipping.
-
- SIGHT-C-ING is a winner of the 1994 Object Honors Award.
-
- A demo is available on ftp.cs.orst.edu:
- pub/next/demos/programming/SIGHT-C-ING_2.02_4fat.tar.gz.
-
- Release 2.0 of SIGHT-C-ING adds the following features:
-
- 1. Available as a quad-fat binary, supporting HP-PA RISC,
- Intel and NeXT hardware.
- 2. Compatible with NEXTSTEP 3.3.
-
- Document Generation Features
- 3. Generate documentation from commented source code.
- SIGHT-C-ING automatically selects the comment directly after
- the method name, or directly before the method name,
- depending on which one is present.
- 4. Browse class documentation.
- 5. Generate documentation from the command line. This allows
- document generation to be triggered from a makefile.
- 6. Specify method sections, which will appear as titled method
- groups within class documentation and within the source
- browser.
- 7. Define document formatting macros, such as bullet lists and
- indents.
- 8. Make various modifications to the template used to generate
- class documentation.
-
- Source Browser Features
- 9. View methods by typed groups, as described under the
- document generation feature list.
- 10. Change your code and SIGHT-C-ING automatically parses class
- source code using a technique that does not require the
- inclusion of dependent files. This makes parsing much more
- trouble free. Other parsing problems have also been
- corrected.
- 11. More color support.
- 12. Include source code libraries in which header files are
- located in a different directory than the source files (e.g.
- the MiscKit).
- 13. Specify the default editor using the preference panel. This
- allows SIGHT-C-ING to interact with any editor that supports
- the "openFile:onHost:atTrueLine:" protocol, such as the Emacs
- NEXTSTEP application.
- 14. Includes many enhancements and user interface improvements.
- 15. Bug fixes.
-
- Release 1.0 of SIGHT-C-ING included the following features:
-
- 1. Browse the class hierarchy of Objective-C and C code. Quickly
- examine the behavior of all classes, no matter where they
- reside in your file system.
- 2. Simultaneously display multiple class browsers. This allows
- you to cross reference classes and projects. It also allows
- you to easily follow message chains.
- 3. Easily view the class hierarchy of any project. Double-click
- on a project to view the classes of a project and all its
- subprojects.
- 4. Graphically view the entire project tree at once. This allows
- you to quickly jump to different projects, or pop up the
- project's Project Builder(tm) panel.
- 5. Supports RTF format.
- 6. Identify all classes that respond to a specific method.
- 7. Instantly find the definition of code elements such as
- typedefs, defines, globals and methods.
- 8. Includes many other features.
