QUIET FLIGHT FOR THE SEMWARE EDITOR PROFESSIONAL INFORMATION SHEET The Quiet Flight macros for TSE Pro 2.5 create a powerful and efficient programming environment. These macros take full advantage of the expansive macro language of The SemWare Editor Professional. No matter what language you program in, you can take advantage of these Quiet Flight features: * Shorthand Abbreviations Quiet Flight employs a flexible command completion and boilerplate function. For example, you can insert the following construct in the Semware macro language (SAL) by typing IFF: if Name == "Quiet Flight" else endif // Name == "Quiet Flight" Or, generate the following C file header by simply entering HEADER: /* * Program....: SAMPLE.C * Version....: 1.0 * Author.....: Ryan Katri & Randy Wallin * Date.......: June 19, 1993 Last Modified: 06/19/93 @ 3:42 pm * Notice.....: Copyright (c) 1993 COB System Designs, Inc. * Compiler...: Watcom C * Abstract...: */ You can customize all function headers, file headers, and command abbreviations to suit your needs and tastes. Quiet Flight recognizes the following keywords in your boilerplate templates, as well as many others: Date, DateStr, DOW (day of week), Time, Year, File, Your Name, Your Company's Name, and Path. You can also setup Quiet Flight to prompt for fill-in-the-blank fields on the fly. * Quick Commenter Commenting out large sections of code with Quiet Flight is a breeze. Block the section of code to comment out and press a single ALT-key combination--Quiet Flight automatically determines the type of comment delimiters to use for that particular file. You can reverse the commenting using the same procedure. * Where Am I? Do you ever forget the name of the function you are currently positioned in, and the function prototype isn't visible on-screen? Press the "5" key on your numeric keypad and Quiet Flight displays the name of the current function being edited. * Window Size Visually draw a window representation on-screen using a column block and let Quiet Flight tell you the coordinates of that window. * Projects / Buffer List Give a name to a group of related files and let Quiet Flight load them all at once. The project mechanism is incorporated seamlessly into TSE Pro using an enhanced Buffer List. Even if you have no interest in using projects, Quiet Flight's Buffer List replacement gives you complete control over the editing ring. * Directory Lister Do you wish that directory names be placed at the top of the directory list in TSE Pro? That directories be displayed even when a file specification other than *.* is entered? Or, perhaps you desire to tag several files to load? Quiet Flight's Directory Lister gives you all of these capabilities. In addition, you can delete files; view the contents of text, ZIP, and dBASE .DBF files; and change the sort order. * Zip Viewer From within TSE Pro you can manage your .ZIP files using QF's Zip Viewer. Peek inside the archive, add and delete files, freshen it up, or extract the contents. All of these functions are now available to you without ever leaving your favorite editor. * Screen Counter Establish the coordinates of an unknown position relative to another location on screen using the Quiet Flight screen counter. * Screen Generator Drawing screens is a hassle delegated to over-blown user interface generators. You can now mock up a screen within TSE Pro and let QF generate the coordinates. For example, the following text: Full Name: ~name City: ~City State: ~State was converted to this FoxPro / dBase IV code: DEFINE WINDOW Sample FROM 3, 11 TO 6, 54 ACTIVATE WINDOW Sample @ 0, 5 SAY "Full Name:" @ 0, 16 GET name @ 0, 26 SAY "City:" @ 0, 32 GET City @ 1, 25 SAY "State:" @ 1, 32 GET State Of course, similar code fragments could be generated for Clipper or TSE Pro SAL macro language. *Much More! * Use the Kill-Restore macro to revert to your original file before editing. * Display file information (date & time, file size, and full pathname) with the touch of a key. * Save all modified files without exiting TSE Pro using the Save All Modified macro. * Return to the line & column where you left off last time for each & every file with the QF Restore feature. dBASE, FoxPro, and Clipper users of Quiet Flight will find some additional tools: * DBF/Index Structures We go beyond just giving you the structure of a database file. You can also build complete field lists and SQL Create Table commands by simply tagging the selected fields. Or, let QF generate the working code for re-creating your indexes. Quiet Flight supports the following index formats: .IDX, .NDX, .NTX, .MDX, and .CDX. In fact, we include one of the only DOS utilties we are aware of that correctly reads .CDX files! * Flow Never again hand-indent your code. Quiet Flight will re-indent a single procedure or an entire dBASE file. You can configure the Flow options to your preferences: indentation level, hard or soft tabs, add conditional comments, and more. Flow will even catch structural errors, such as a DO WHILE without a matching ENDDO. And best of all, Flow is super-fast! * Color Table You'll never again have to hunt down your manual to figure out those cryptic dBASE color codes. A pop-up table lets you visually select the color and automatically insert the appropriate foreground/background combination (such as "W+/BG") * Update Row/Col Did you ever have to update a series of SAY's and GET's co-ordinates to add or remove a field? It's a time consuming task that QF can handle in a heartbeat. After highlighting the code to be altered, start QF Row/Column update , give the adjustment and QF will do the rest. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- *** QUIET FLIGHT V3.5 *** Macros for The SemWare Editor Professional v2.5 * SINGLE-USER LICENSE ORDER FORM * MAIL: SemWare Corporation FAX: (770) 640-6213 4343 Shallowford Rd, Suite C3A BBS: (770) 641-8968 Marietta, GA 30062-5022 USA CIS: 75300,2710 InterNet: sales@semware.com PHONE (Orders ONLY): (800) 467-3692 OTHER VOICE CALLS: (770) 641-9002 Inside USA, 9am-5pm ET 9am-5pm ET ============================================================================ ___ Quiet Flight Macros V3.5 ........................ @ $69.00 ea $ ______ SHIPPING (each copy) USA: $3 Canada and Mexico: $3 Overseas: $5 $ ______ PURCHASE ORDERS under $100.00, add $6 Billing Fee ............... $ ______ (Does NOT apply to PREPAID Check or Charge Card orders) SUBTOTAL $ ______ GEORGIA RESIDENTS please add Sales Tax .................... @ 5% $ ______ TOTAL (U.S. Dollars drawn on U.S. Bank, payable to SemWare) $ ______ NOTE: Software provided on 3«" Diskette. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Payment by: ( )CHECK ( )VISA ( )MC ( )AMEX ( )DISCOVER ( )PO#_____________ (copy attached) Name: _____________________________________________________________ Company (ONLY if company address):_________________________________ Address: __________________________________________________________ : __________________________________________________________ : __________________________________________________________ Voice Phone: _______________________ FAX: ______________________ Card #: _________________________________ Exp.
