- BASIC Insight is a utility program which helps with the documentation and
- debugging of BASIC programs. It is specifically written for use with the
- programs developed with Microsoft versions of BASIC including Visual BASIC(tm).
-
- BASIC Insight provides the system developer with a formatted source listing and
- variable cross-reference (for each subroutine and for the program as a whole)
- for BASIC programs. The formatted listing shows the range and type of each
- program structure and displays error messages if the structures are improperly
- nested. The program can also simultaneously produce an indented source file
- which makes the program source easier to read.
-
- BASIC Insight can also work with lists of files that are part of the same
- program and provides support for INCLUDE files. The program is menu driven and
- works well with either keyboard or mouse operation. The program is also
- capable of processing a number of programs by using a batch file and specifying
- necessary information using command line switches. In either menu or command
- line mode, BASIC Insight can write program documentation, along with its table
- of contents, to either a file or to the printer. The user is also given
- control over the page layout including the page header, which may include the
- date, time, file name, subroutine name, and page number. The page settings and
- other configuration information may be saved to a configuration file.
-
- BASIC Insight also includes on-line help and command line help functions.
