ReadMe for ProgMan 0.28 [DEV CD DEMO] (04.05.98)
================================================

This version contains three bug fixes and one new feature.

Bug Fixes
---------
When attempting to Create a new C++ source file this would not complete
successfully, and the ScrollList would blank.

Within the Setup Tools dialogue, setting Link output to be Module resulted in
the wrong command option being output to the Makefile.

When deleting files, ProgMan would Postmortem if that file had anything to do
with the Makefile.  This usually corrupted the makefile in the process.

There were a couple of other UI tweaks, especially with the behaviour of the
Main/File menus not being quite right with selected files.


Improvements
------------
During the latest round of beta testing several people requested a method of
importing previously created source files into a project.  The only way up to
now was to use Create and then go into the directory and over-write that new
file with the source to be imported.  There is now an Import dialogue
(accessed from the File menu) to which up to 77 files can be dragged to be
imported.  C, C++ and Assembler files can be automatically added to the
Makefile.  The files can reside in different directories.

Several testers also commented on having to go to the Edit Makefile window
and click save after any Copy, Rename, Delete, Create, Import, and
Make source add/remove (from the File menu) operations.  Two things have been
done to improve this.  Firstly, a Save entry has been added to the Make
sub-menu off the File menu.  Secondly, F3 on either the main file viewer, or
the Edit Makefile window will perform a Save.


One feature which perhaps I didn't make very clear is that it is not
necessary to create a new project structure using New Project so that
existing software projects can be loaded.  ProgMan will accept existing
projects if they conform to the c, c++, h, s, o, cmhg directory naming
conventions.  ProgMan may produce an error if the Makefile is not !Make, or
ProgMan, generated.  When the Makefile is not readable projects can still be
compiled, but you are limited to the default target in the Makefile.  If you
want ProgMan to create a Makefile for this project simply remove the Makefile
and reload the project.  You will be asked "Do you wish to create a
Makefile?"  Unfortunately all files will have to be added using the File ->
Make -> Add option.  I plan to do an Add All very soon.

As before any comments and bug reports are most welcome.

Enjoy,
