DESCRIPTION

  Ged4indent is an ARexx-script which indents a C-source currently
  displayed by GoldEd using GNUindent.

FEATURES

  None; simply does it's job.

SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS

  o GoldEd, Version 4.x (aminet:text/edit/)
  o GNUindent (aminet:dev/c/)

AVAILABILITY

  aminet:dev/c/ged4indent.lha

PRICE

  Freeware

DISTRIBUTABILITY

  This stuff is Public Domain.

DISCLAIMER

  No responsibilities are taken for trashed sources, damaged Amigas
  or any other components or data involved while using ged4indent.

CREDITS

  This script is based on material written by Michael Bauer. His
  scripts are available from `aminet:dev/c/GEDindent.lha', but
  does no longer work with GoldEd, release 4.

  As the original author did not update them for more than two years,
  and his email-address does not seem to be valid any more, someone
  else had to write this.

INSTALLATION

  Copy the ARexx-script `ged4indent.ged' to `GoldEd:ARexx/', and
  build up a new menu entry for it, for example:

  COMMAND: GoldEd:Arexx/ged4indent.ged
  TYPE   : Arexx
  OUTPUT : CON:0/2048/384/128/indent/AUTO/WAIT/CLOSE/SCREENGOLDED.1

  Error messages will then appear on the screen of GoldEd.

CONFIGURATION

  By default, `indent' will be invoked using options which will match
  the style GoldEd supports in it's initial configuration. If you do
  not like this style, you can set an environment variable named
  `ged4indent.prefs' with your preferred style, for example:

    setenv ged4indent.prefs "-bl -bli0 -i4 -sob -sc -npsl -npcs -lp"

  You can add a line like the above to your s:user-startup.

  Refer to the manual of indent for the meaning of these options.

ERROR HANDLING

  In case of `indent' shows up any error messages, a window will open
  and display these messages. The source code in the current editor
  window remains untouched.

  The corrupt output file will remain as `t:ged4indent.XXXX' for
  further examination. However, it is recommended to run a compiler on
  the faulty source, as this will usually result in more detailed
  messages.

  You can do a

    delete t:ged4indent.#?

  from time to time to save some memory.

  (If `indent' did not return any errors, the temporary file is
  removed automatically.)

PROBLEMS

  The version of `indent' included with the Geek Gadgets v1 always
  opens an output window on the screen, even if indent does not show
  any messages. I do not know why. Use the SAS-compiled port in
  aminet:dev/c.
