\pard\tx960\tx1920\tx2880\tx3840\tx4800\tx5760\tx6720\tx7680\tx8640\tx9600 This application is shareware covered by the GNU Public License. That means that you are welcome to copy it and distribute it as you see fit as long as you follow the GNU Public License, and do not modify the README.rtf file, the COPYING file, or modify any of the panels to remove the indication that this is ShareWare covered by the GPL.\
I think this is a very useful application and I hope that you will too. If you find that you are using this application, I would appreciate a contribution to my efforts. I would suggest a contribution of $10. Consider $10 as the price of buying me a 6-pack of good beer. If you provide your electronic mail address as well, I'd be happy to notify you of future releases of the program.\
There has been a little confusion about the concept of mixing shareware with the GPL. My intent is that if you are using my program (or a modified verion of my program) you should pay me the shareware fee. If you make changes to the program you should send them to me, so that I can incorporate them. If you give this program to anyone else you must provide all the sources. If you'd like to use parts of the code for another different program of your own, you're welcome to, but they will be covered by the GPL. I hope the intent is clear even if the legalese is muddy.\
Thanks,\

\fs36 The Compiler's Companion -- Version 2.0
\fs38 \
\fs24 \
The Compiler's Companion is an application to make life easier for anyone to develop applications on the NeXT. It does so by automating the steps in the edit-compile loop.\
The Compiler's Companion provides two services (primarily directed at users within Edit) the first is Make. This is tied to the the user typing command-k. When this service is invoked the first time, Compiler's Companion will request a directory and command to execute. When the command completes the results will appear in a window. This removes the first awkward effort, having to switch to the Terminal window to execute makes. After the first
\pard , Compiler's Companion will execute the same command in the same directory, unless you use the 'Make
' menu item. The command you execute may use the variables $dir, $file, and $stripped, which represent the directory, file, and the file without its extension from which the command was last executed.\
The second service is labelled next error, and is bound to the keyboard as command-comma. It will scan the output window from the location of the selection until it finds a line that begins with the form: 'filename:line:' At that point it will send a message to Edit, causing it to open the indicated file and highlight the indicated line. That eliminates the second awkward effort, having to use command-l to move to the error.\
You may only have one compile executing at a time. The make occurs in the background, so that you can start processing the error messages as soon as they appear. If you click on a line in the make output, and then hit command-comma, the next error after that line is displayed. This lets you go back through your errors if desired. Also realize that you can use Compiler's Companion to process the results of any program that uses the same filename:line format for errors.\
\pard\tx960\tx1920\tx2880\tx3840\tx4800\tx5760\tx6720\tx7680\tx8640\tx9600 The preferences menu item (under the info menu) allows you to configure Compiler's Companion. The first field, labelled directory, is used to indicate what directory Compiler's Companion should default to when it compiles something and doesn't know where it came from. Normally, you invoke the make command by using the services item, and the directory will be set to the directory which contains the source file you were editing. The second field, is the default command to be executed. Normally this will be some form of make, because that's what Compiler's Companions parsing is tailored to, but you can execute any command. The next two fields, are the commands to execute on successfull and unsuccessfull execution of the command. I like to use this to play a sound, so that I can ignore the compile until it is done. There are also three check boxes. The one on the right,\
labelled Enable Services, indicates whether Compiler's Companions' services should be made available to other applications. The top one on the left, labelled Hide on success, indicates whether Compilers Companion should hide itself after a successful make. The bottom one on the left, labelled Use Preferences Directory, is whether Compiler Companion should always use the default directory specified on the first field. All these fields are saved in the defaults database with names "directory", "command", "executeGood", "executeBad", "services", "hideOnSuccess" and "usePrefDir" in that order.\

This is a shareware application covered by the GNU Public License. Please select the Help menu item for information on how to contact the author, and the License menu item for details of the GNU Public License.
Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.\
Preamble\
The license agreements of most software companies try to keep users at the mercy of those companies. By contrast, our General Public License is intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change free software--to make sure the software is free for all its users. The General Public License applies to the Free Software Foundation's software and to any other program whose authors commit to using it. You can use it for your programs, too.\
When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not price. Specifically, the General Public License is designed to make sure that you have the freedom to give away or sell copies of free software, that you receive source code or can get it if you want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it in new free programs; and that you know you can do these things.\
To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid anyone to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender the rights. These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you if you distribute copies of the software, or if you modify it.\
For example, if you distribute copies of a such a program, whether gratis or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that you have. You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the source code. And you must tell them their rights.\
We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the software, and (2) offer you this license which gives you legal permission to copy, distribute and/or modify the software.\
Also, for each author's protection and ours, we want to make certain that everyone understands that there is no warranty for this free software. If the software is modified by someone else and passed on, we want its recipients to know that what they have is not the original, so that any problems introduced by others will not reflect on the original authors' reputations.\
The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and modification follow.\
GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE\
TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION\
0. This License Agreement applies to any program or other work which contains a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it may be distributed under the terms of this General Public License. The "Program", below, refers to any such program or work, and a "work based on the Program" means either the Program or any work containing the Program or a portion of it, either verbatim or with modifications. Each licensee is addressed as "you".\
1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program's source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the notices that refer to this General Public License and to the absence of any warranty; and give any other recipients of the Program a copy of this General Public License along with the Program. You may charge a fee for the physical act of\
transferring a copy.\
2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion of it, and copy and distribute such modifications under the terms of Paragraph 1 above, provided that you also do the following:\
a) cause the modified files to carry prominent notices stating that you changed the files and the date of any change; and\
b) cause the whole of any work that you distribute or publish, that in whole or in part contains the Program or any part thereof, either with or without modifications, to be licensed at no charge to all third parties under the terms of this General Public License (except that you may choose to grant warranty protection to some or all third parties, at your option).\
c) If the modified program normally reads commands interactively when run, you must cause it, when started running for such interactive use in the simplest and most usual way, to print or display an announcement including an appropriate copyright notice and a notice that there is no warranty (or else, saying that you provide a warranty) and that users may redistribute the program under these conditions, and telling the user how to view a copy of this General Public License.\
d) You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee.\
Mere aggregation of another independent work with the Program (or its derivative) on a volume of a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under the scope of these terms.\
3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a portion or derivative of it, under Paragraph 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of Paragraphs 1 and 2 above provided that you also do one of the following:\
a) accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable source code, which must be distributed under the terms of Paragraphs 1 and 2 above; or,\
b) accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three years, to give any third party free (except for a nominal charge for the cost of distribution) a complete machine-readable copy of the corresponding source code, to be distributed under the terms of Paragraphs 1 and 2 above; or,\
c) accompany it with the information you received as to where the corresponding source code may be obtained. (This alternative is allowed only for noncommercial distribution and only if you received the program in object code or executable form alone.)\
Source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for making modifications to it. For an executable file, complete source code means all the source code for all modules it contains; but, as a special exception, it need not include source code for modules which are standard libraries that accompany the operating system on which the executable file runs, or for standard header files or definitions files that accompany that operating system.\
4. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, distribute or transfer the Program except as expressly provided under this General Public License. Any attempt otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense, distribute or transfer the Program is void, and will automatically terminate your rights to use the Program under this License. However, parties who have received copies, or rights to use copies, from you under this General Public License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such parties remain in full compliance.\
5. By copying, distributing or modifying the Program (or any work based on the Program) you indicate your acceptance of this license to do so, and all its terms and conditions.\
6. Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the Program), the recipient automatically receives a license from the original licensor to copy, distribute or modify the Program subject to these terms and conditions. You may not impose any further restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein.\
7. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions of the General Public License from time to time. Such new versions will be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to address new problems or concerns.\
Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Program specifies a version number of the license which applies to it and "any later version", you have the option of following the terms and conditions either of that version or of any later version published by the Free Software Foundation. If the Program does not specify a version number of the license, you may choose any version ever published by the Free Software Foundation.\
8. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other free programs whose distribution conditions are different, write to the author to ask for permission. For software which is copyrighted by the Free Software Foundation, write to the Free Software Foundation; we sometimes make exceptions for this. Our decision will be guided by the two goals of preserving the free status of all derivatives of our free software and of promoting the sharing and reuse of software generally.\
NO WARRANTY\
9. BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO WARRANTY FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION. \
10. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY AND/OR REDISTRIBUTE THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED\
TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.\
