%main menu%
This is the main menu of SUPER-MAINT. Use the right and left arrow keys to
choose an item on the menu bar, and press enter to get the submenu for that
choice.
SUPER-MAINT is a Make utility for programmers. It is very flexible in its
ability to handle files, paths and so on. Programmers set their Make
preferences in the Setup section.
SUPER-MAINT is actually four programs. The first is a powerful make file
editor (SME.EXE) that automates the writing of make files and provides
powerful tools for doing so. The second is a flexible Make utility (SM.EXE).
Third is the setup utility (SMSET) with which you set up the parameters for
all the programs. Last is the help facility (SMH.EXE).

Pick Code Files (alt-p)
SUPER-MAINT senses what drives you have on your system and lets you choose a
drive to work on. Next the program lists all the directories on the drive.
To see more directories use Page Up or Page Down. Finally, use the + and -
keys to mark or unmark files you want in your Make file.
If you have a mouse place it over the drive letter and press the left button
to choose a drive, and place it over a directory name and press the left
button to choose a directory. To mark or unmark a file place the mouse
cursor over a choice and press the left button.
To reread drives or directories make sure you are in the drive or directory
window and press ctrl-r.
Pressing the right mouse button gets you help.
