This feature does not depend on any +special WEB dialect, nor on using WEB at all, as the only controls to +be interpreted are the change requests in the change files (delimited +by @x, @y and @z). + This makes `tie' also usable for any other language, or even data +files. See the documentation tiedoc.tex and the example file tie.tie. + + Actually, this gives a second file update mechanism besides `patch'. +Whereas patch relies on line numbers and/or precise contexts produced +by diff, tie depends on the order of changes and on a an amount of +context lines determined manually. + + +REQUIREMENTS: + +This version of `tie' is written in CWEB. To preprocess and compile +the source you will need a working `ctangle'. + A pretangled tie.c is supplied which has been compiled successfully +on a variety of workstations using either the manufacturer supplied +C compiler in the K&R or ANSI version, or gcc (version 1.40). + Please note, that the CWEB by Silvio Levy and Donald E. Knuth must +be at least at version 2.8, to process and compile `tie' without +problems. + + +DISTRIBUTION: + +The reference version of tie may be retrieved by anonymous ftp from + + ftp.th-darmstadt.de [130.83.55.75] + directory pub/programming/literate-programming/Tools + file tie-<version>.tar.Z + +where <version> is the most current version number. + See the source file tie.w for details of the distribution policy. + + +BUGS/ENHANCEMENTS: + +If you detect bugs in the implementation of `tie' or have +suggestions to enhance functionality or improve portability, +please send a message to + + Klaus Guntermann <guntermann@iti.informatik.th-darmstadt.de> + |
