Auto - Commodore AutoDocs reader.
This program will be mainly of use to developers, or people with the
Commodore AutoDocs in their possession.
Its simply a program which allows you to read autodocs. It doesn't
work with all, because Commodore hasn't written all the autodocs the
same way, but most (the important onces) work fine.
AUTO simply assumes that all auto doc files are in the auto: path,
and that keywords begin with a / character, which they do in the
Commodore AutoDocs....AUTO skips the contents file.
Simple usage : Auto <file> <key>
Auto appends ".doc" to the filename and searches for "/key" and outputs
all until the next ctrl-l or end-of-file...ie the data for that entry if
the file matches the AutoDoc format.
examples :
auto intution printitext
auto exec openlibrary
I find this program invaluable for getting prototypes for function calls,
I hope you will too....
I have a "hypertext" version of this nearly complete, I'm just working on
a few additions now, it reads unaltered autodoc files and allows you to
click on keywords and jump to other pages within the file...its very nice
and easy to use if you are reading the autodocs for a certain purpose.
(ie. it does its own auto-referencing to locate keywords to highlight
for you to click and jump to another page...e.g. when you're reading
"OpenLibrary" in the Exec docs, then "CloseLibrary" is highlighted throughout
so that you can double click it and jump to that entry....very nice).
This program is completely mouse-driven, and the developers local to me
who are using it love it.
I am unsure if I will release that version into the public domain, so if
you want a copy, contact me and we'll make a deal.
