ATTENTION: you must use the PartMaker 4.4.1 provided in this folder. Earlier versions of PartMaker will not work correctly with the ODF Release 1 templates.
What is PartMaker
The PartMaker application along with the templates located in this folder allows you to quickly start a new part editor based on ODF.
We currently have six templates: three for creating a non-embedding part based on the ODFHello, ODFForm, and ODFNothing examples, and three for creating embedding parts based on ODFContainer, ODFEmbed, and ODFTable.
The PartMaker templates for ODF can be used with all the supported development environments: CodeWarrior for PPC and 68K, Symantec C++ for MPW (68K), Symantec C++ for Power Macintosh (Rainbow), and MrC. After choosing your development environment you can throw away unused development folders. The following table indicates which folders are necessary for each supported compiler:

We suggest that you create your new part folder in the ODFDev folder, since the project access paths are set up for that location.
Updating Your 'nmap' Resources and Signature
Whenever you create a new part, PartMaker creates a set of 'nmap' resources for your part. However, because the content of your part is likely to be different than the default content of the PartMaker part, you must change these resources to reflect your part's content. See the 'nmap', Icon, & Part Signature document in the "Documentation:Development Notes:" folder for more information on how to do this.
The following table summarizes the creator, type, stationery type and part kind automatically generated by PartMaker for each template.
