The system consists of +three files: makeprog.web, progdoc.doc, and progdocu.tex. + +-- progdocu.tex is a kind of user documentation, it is written with + Plain TeX and should be printed first. + +-- progdoc.doc is a macro package to document programs (e.g. macros). + This macro file is documented with the MAKEPROG system itself. + +-- makeprog.web is a WEB program that extracts the program part of a + document written with progdoc. + +I have added the file progdoc.tex, too. This file is the result of +a MAKEPROG run over progdoc.doc. It serves for two purposes: on the +one hand it is a test file for the makeprog program and on the other +hand it is needed to print progdoc.doc if you don't have a running +makeprog program. + +I hope that this system is useful to everyone who wants to write +documented maintainable programs and not only tricky hacks. + + With regards + + Joachim + +---------------------------------------------------------------- + + TH Darmstadt + Institut f\"ur Theoretische Informatik + Joachim Schrod + Alexanderstr. 10 Bitnet: XITIJSCH@DDATHD21 + (Please try again if I don't answer --- + D-6100 Darmstadt our Bitnet connection is very instable...) + West Germany + |
