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.

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.

  But usually the message reported by `indent' are not of much use.
  You better run a compiler on your faulty source code to find out
  details.

INDENTING A SINGLE FUNCTIONS

  If you do not want to indent the whole file, but just the function
  the cursor currently is in, there is a second script included called
  `ged4findent.ged'.

  To find the beginning of the current function, it searches backwards
  for a `{' at the first column of a line. If found, it searches for
  the corresponding `}' and marks the text in between.

  This block is written to a temporary file, processed by `indent' and
  reloaded again. Because of the block operations, there will be some
  flickering on the screen.

  Installation and configuration work as described above, too.

PROBLEMS

  The version of `indent' included on 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.

  For `ged4findent.ged' it is important that the first curly bracket
  (`{') of the function is in the first column of a line.
