Hello. I need a program to format dBASE source programs, nesting structures
and all that. Does anyone know where I can find one????
I'm working with very large dBASE III+ programs, and it's getting pretty
tedious trying to format them right manually - a real pain in the......
And I need all the help I can get trying to keep dBASE structured (if that's
possible).
Thanks in advance -- John Hayes

This should be pretty easy to do in Lex. Lex is provided on Unix
systems. Hopefully, you posted your query from one.

It does exactly what >you are looking for. Actually it won't. The Documentor will not reindent a file and save the new version in place of the old. You can print the reindented file, and you can save it to a new file name. DFLOW (an earlier product by the same company that The Documentor is based on) will do it, but The Documentor won't. I own and use both products and think they are terrific. -- Mark D.

It's cheap (<$100), and it does dbase, c, pascal and basic. It works okay with dbase, very well with c. I don't use the other two programs. I've also used it to format lex and yacc programs, where it does an acceptable job (better than pr). But do shop around. There are probably half a dozen formatters out there for dbase, and this doesn't include the PD one's... Doug

Last time I looked at a dBIII manual was for version 1.00 but tucked neatly in the back of the manual was a formatter written in dBASEIII, itself. Sooo, before spending dollars see if you can locate this little gem. If its not in the manual, I'll bet its in the Advanced Programmer's Guide from Ashton-Tate. It indents properly, checks variable names for consistency and even does some rudimentary lint-like things on the sources. gerry -- G.

Does anyone know where I can find one???? >Thanks in advance -- John Hayes This is a hot tip: There is a fantastic program distributed without charge by Walter Kennamer named SNAP. It will reformat your dbase programs to your specifications, and check for errors such as unmatched loops etc., print tons of cross reference lists, data structures etc. It's great. The latest version I've seen is 2.02a. I believe it's available on Compuserve, and that's where {Walter is at account 74025,514 but please don't deluge him with letters. I hope someone will find a place to post to the where you can get it; if someone will email me or call at 415-642-5625 to tell me how to get it on simtel, I'll ftp it. I hope someone will suggest the best way to get it, I'm not sure about posting it to binaries cuz it's 200K. Craig No disclaimer; your chance to get rich! sue!
