SEC 3/13/95 旼컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴� � Network Force 1.1 � 읕컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴� Network Force 1.1 has emerged from final beta and is now shipping worldwide. Based on optimized ASM primitives, NWF provides FORCE developers with complete control of and access to Novell 3.x-4.x systems for FORCE 2.4c. "We spent quite a bit of time analyzing developers' needs," stated Barry Freeman, author of NWF, in a recent interview. "As a result, support for Novell 2.x was eliminated, which made it easier to provide a consistent implementation. It also gave us the ideas for several of the metafunctions in NWF - higher level comprehensive calls that accomplish a great deal on a drop in basis and which require less upfront knowledge of Novell internals on the part of the developer. The other critical design decision that we made was to restrict compatibility to FORCE version 2.4c and later, which let us rely on the new standardized internals of the current FORCE compiler and made our job a lot easier in terms of providing the lightning-fast optimized performance FORCE developers are used to, since we didn't have to work with the older versions that had different memory handling methods". NWF features a total of 162 different functions and procedures that provide FORCE developers an unprecedented control of the Novell OS in the area of critical services such as accounting, bindery, connection, file and file server, messaging, print, queue, synchronization, and transaction tracking. NWF is published by Software Evolution Corp. and officially begins shipping on March 15, 1995. See the enclosed list for specifics of functions and procedures provided by NWF. A special introductory price of $49.00 has been arranged for current owners of FORCE 2.4c. 旼컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴커 � FDOC 1.01 ships! � 읕컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴켸 FDOC 1.01, the long-awaited documentation engine for FORCE 2.4c, is now officially out of beta and begins shipping March 15, 1995. FDOC provides for complete documentation of FORCE code, including formatting, flowcharting, and crossreferencing of source files. In addition, it tracks details of parameter passing methods for each function and procedure, as well as alias tracking and crossreferencing, and automates handily the production chores for conversion of project source files to hypertext for easy reference via any of several popular hypertext compilers such as Expert Help. "FDOC is written in FORCE 2.4c itself," explains author David Barrett, "and we had a good deal of previous experience from our 1993-94 production in FORCE of the popular DOC engine for Clipper 5.x, which even extends to documentation of code blocks. It seemed like a natural extension to transfer the same documentation technology to FORCE, since many of the internal parsing routines are similar." FDOC is published by Software Evolution Corp. and is now available at a special introductory pricing of $24.00 - see the enclosed form for more details. 旼컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴� � New Repository Technology � 읕컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴� Introduction of the new FORCE repository technology MKHDR/RED was announced today by Guenther Daubach, Chief Executive of Guenther Daubach & Associates, owners of the FORCE/FCO family of compilers. Published by Software Evolution Corp., MKHDR/RED will begin shipping on March 13. "This is probably the most important development in FORCE since the introduction of the compiler itself," commented Mr. Daubach. "It eliminates in several ways the headaches that come naturally with a single-pass compiler. Because FORCE is a single-pass compiler (it only scans each line of source code once), as opposed to other compilers which are multiple-pass, it must hold all memory references in its internal symbol table during compilation. Consequently, the required declaration and prototyping of functions and procedures, which has been previously accomplished through the use of header or #include files, can lead to memory problems, since a particular header file needed for a given function probably contains many references not required in the source code being scanned by the compiler." MKHDR.EXE: the header engine for FORCE 2.4c ------------------------------------------- The new FORCE repository technology is centered around two tools and a central repository database. MKHDR.EXE is used to scan source code files and construct on the fly a customized .hdx file that contains only the specific declarations and prototypes that are required by the source code file in question. MKHDR can also generate prototypes on the fly for undeclared UDFs, VARDEFs, and the like and can use them as well in conjunction with the standard FORCE declarations contained in the standard repository to ensure problem-free code. RED.EXE - the repository editor for FORCE 2.4c ---------------------------------------------- In conjunction with MKHDR, RED.EXE is the automated repository editor that enables the developer to significantly customize his development repository. RED provides for both automated declaration, prototype, and #DEFINE import from an existing group of .hdr files and for individual customized declaration of a single prototype or #DEFINE. Complete data is maintained automatically as respects type and method (reference, value, or constant) where necessary, and REDs ability to scan files recursively makes it a snap to operate at the press of a key. Use of RED and MKHDR also permit significant degrees of customization between applications or series of applications in a way that lets the FORCE developer avoid future maintenance problems and incorporate future declaration changes on the fly. "At the introductory price of $24, we expect the FORCE community will adopt the new repository technology as the standard of painless productivity as quickly as they are exposed to it. The tools involved have been in use here for over a year and we couldn't work without them." - Guenther Daubach, Daubach & Associates 旼컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴� � SOFTWARE ORDER FORM � 읕컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴� PRINT CLEARLY - We cannot ship to you if we cannot read your address!
