What is it?
===========

This archive contains various scanners for GoldED 4. Some of them replace
existing ones but these do their job better IMHO. They are quite tolerant
concerning style.

Currently included are:

ARexx-label 1.1 (15.04.98)
C-define_typedef 1.2 (15.04.98)
C-function 1.3 (18.04.98)
C-include 1.1 (15.04.98)
C-struct_union_class 1.2 (15.04.98)
ModPas-PROC_FUNC 1.1 (15.04.98)
SQL-CREATE 1.1 (16.04.98)


Installation
============

1. Copy all executable files to GoldED:scanner.
2. Start GoldED
3. Execute command "FUNC" (Shift-ESC or use menu for this)
4. Select "Mode" or "Modus" (new window opens)
5. Enter new scanner and do not forget the pattern
6. You may delete obsolete scanners now

Perhaps you must restart GoldED.


How do they work?
=================

Well, quite nice I think.  :-)

Just some words: All skip blanks (blanks are ASCIIs <= 32) where possible,
are case insensitive (except C keywords) and give some extra information
like the beginning of the function parameters or macro parameters or the
type (e. g. struct, union or class) of the scanned element.

Some more explanation is available from the source code (for SAS/C) which
is included in the release archive - but it is only in German, sorry. The
source code is for personal use only!
