Short: 2.2 - Flexible catalogs (C, Asm, Oberon, E, ARexx, Modula...) Author: Marcin Orlowski Uploader: Marcin Orlowski Type: dev/misc Version: 2.2 WWW: http://amiga.com.pl/flexcat/ INFO ---------- FlexCat creates catalogs and the source to handle them. The difference between FlexCat and KitCat, CatComp and some others is, that FlexCat is designed to produce any source you want: any programming language, any individual needs should be satisfied. However, FlexCat is not more difficult to use. Translators will also find it useful, as, among standard functions like #?.catalog creation, FlexCat is able to update your #?.ct files to the new #?.cd files automatically. Give it a try! This sounds like a contradiction. FlexCat's solution is to use template files, the so called "source descriptions". Ready to use examples for Assembler, C, C++, E, Oberon and Modula-2 are distributed, additionally an example for supporting catalogs on Workbench 2.0. Any other examples are welcome. Archives ---------- Since release 2.0, the FlexCat distribiution is splitted into the smaller archives. They are (in order of importance): FlexCat.lha - Latest FlexCat, user contribitions, english manual and foreign catalog files FlexCat_0x0.lha - patches for 020, 040 and 060 versions of FlexCat (PPC makes no sense here. I checked that). FlexCat_ExDocs.lha - FlexCat's guide in non english languages. Currently Svenska, Espanol and Deutsch are provided FlexCat_CatSrc.lha - #?.cd and #?.ct files for existing translations and #?.texinfo documents FlexCat_Src.lha - C source code for FlexCat itself If you just want to use FlexCat, the 1st archive is all you need. If you want to have CPU optimised binaries, take both 1st and 2nd and patch the original release. If you want to read translated manual, get the 3rd one. If you want to make the translation take the 4th one (but I suggesto to join the Amiga Translators' Organisation first!) Changes since previous release: ------------------------------- * v2.1 (11.10.98) - New source descriptor for E programmers (E32e.sd) by Sven Steiniger Fixed problem C:Version had with FlexCat (due to many internal $VERsion strings, THAT one, wasn't first the one in the executable file). SDDIR path defined in FlexCat.prefs was always ignored. Fixed (Magnus Holmgren). Improved FLUSH function. Now it flushes catalogs only (Magnus Holmgren). Source code released - See source readme file for more details
