The Pure C Help format is only useful for the Pure C compiler on
Atari ST for displaying online library descriptions. The format isn't
used for any other purposes neither on this nor on other computers.
How does UDO print the title page and the table of contents?
UDO prints a single page that contains both the title page and the
table of contents. Because this page can get very long you should use
the switch !use_short_toc [pch].
How can I suppress the headlines?
UDO prints a headline on each page automatically. Headlines
contain the name of the current chapter and the title of the source
file. By clicking the title you can jump to the title page or the
table of contents.
Using the switch !no_headlines [pch] you can suppress the
output of these headlines.
How can I suppress the bottomlines?
UDO prints a bottomline on each page automatically that contain
links to the previous page, next page and upper page. Thus the reader
of the online manual is enabled to jump directly to other pages
without returning to the table of contents.
Using the switch !no_bottomlines [pch] you can suppress
the output of these bottomlines.
What can I do with the file with the suffix .cmd?
UDO saves a command file for the Pure C Help compiler
HC.TTP. You have to call the HC by passing the name of this
command file to get a compiled help file.
UDO always overwrites this file. You have to switch in write
protection if you want to protect your own changes to this file.
How do I build a help file for Pure C?
UDO saves two file when converting the source fie foo.u:
foo.scr and foo.cmd.
To get a Pure C Help file you have to call HC.TTP by
passing the command file foo.cmd:
$ e:\purec\hc.ttp foo.cmd
Using GEM just drag foo.cmd onto HC.TTP to start
the conversion.
How can I install this help file?
Pure C can display on user defined help file. This file has to be
named USR.HLP and it has to be placed inside the Pure C
directory.
To install your help file backup the original USR.HLP,
rename your help file to USR.HLP and copy it to the Pure C
directory.
