This is a C Source data type for using in MultiView or similar programs !
It displays different parts of a C Source in different style and color,
like comments, keywords, basic types and cpp keywords !
This goes all through a prefs file. If you designed a nice preference file
please send me this file, so that anyone can used it !

This datatype is Freeware, but not in the public domain !

It's strictly forbidden to include this archive in any kind of software
collection except Fred Fish's AmigaLibrary, Aminet , Aminet CD's and BBS

This datatype was created using bison to generate the C parser.

Changes made after last release:

c.datatype 39.14 (2.9.95) :

- tabs in C++ comments now correct
- Hex-Constants now also recognized, if 0Xxxx is used
- new CPART HEADER, to display include filenames in one style
- check TABLENGTH against zero and if it's TRUE set to 1 (no more
  devision by zero)
- new method to differentiate between c and c++ (now I use the
  datatypeheader->dth_ID field, which should contain 'c++-' for
  C++ and 'c-so' for normal c).
- reading of prefs-file is now faster and uses less memory
- if last line of the file wasn't LF terminated, this line wasn't
  displayed. This is fixed.
