Short: Translate special message tags to dev info Author: kenny@bgnett.no Uploader: kenny bgnett no Type: comm/thor Version: 1.0 Requires: Thor 2.x Architecture: m68k-amigaos mailto:kenny@bgnett.no $VER: Autoview 1.0 (4.1.98) Copyright (C) 1999 by Digital Surface/Kenneth "Kenny" Nilsen. All rights reserved. Special tags can be added to your messages. The reader can then invoke this script and get the programming references listed in the message window. For example: If I added the line in a message: "...you can get more info reading auto:dos/close()." the reader could invoke the script and it would look up the function Close() in the dos autodoc file and show it in the window. Same goes for FD files and include files. PURPOSE The main purpose for this package is to simplify exchanging references and programming information on the Internet, escpecially for the newsgroup comp.sys.amiga.programmers. INSTALLING: - Copy the script to Thor/rexx. - Optionally install it on a function key - Modify the config in the script to suit your system (paths etc.) USAGE: Next time someone use the tags AUTO:, FD: or INC: you can invoke the script and it will show you the information for the references. To add a tag you can use: AUTO:LIBRARY/FUNCTION FD:LIBRARY/FUNCTION INC:PATH/FILENAME The case doesn't matter. Library is only the base name without the extension. You can mix as many as you want in the text and on the same line. You can add () to the functions or just leave it without. Examples: auto:dos/read() auto:exec/OpenLibrary fd:graphics/setapen inc:exec/memory.i etc.
