==> Description:

The program PDOC.COM accepts .C and .H files and creates a formatted print file.
The format have been carefully designed by Marcus et al. [at Berkley] to highlight
the significant parts of source files, and to aid in understanding.

This version [1.7] can synthesize LaserJet and PostScript codes to produce printed pages
which closely follow the designer's guide. It can also synthesize RTF codes, with
some deviation from the design guide.

==> Usage:

The program should be run from the DOS prompt, using 2 file (or device) names:
.nf
PDOC [-L] | [-P] | [-R] [-n] [-?] sourcefile destfile
-L uses LaserJet (default)
-P uses PostScript codes
-R uses RTF codes
-n sets the tab width to n

-? help
.fi

Typically, I use lines like:
.nf
PDOC -3 page.c lpt1
PDOC -p -3 object.h lpt2
PDOC -p -3 object.h f:tempfile.psc
PDOC -r -8 c:\include\windows.h f:winh.rtf
.fi
.sp3
.ti-5
==> Output Format:

At the top of each page is a page header, showing the print time, the file name and
the page number. These are things that I always felt I needed in source code printouts.

Below that is the source code.
The printed format puts the source codes into two columns. The left column is 2 inches
wide, and contains only comments. It is intended to be where one would add hand written notes,
punched holes or a binding.
The right column is 6 inches wide and holds the bulk of the source code.

Most of the .C code is printed in 8 point Helvetica. This font is very legible and packs
well. C language keywords (and C++) are printed in italics, just so that they stand
out from the bulk. Preprocessor commands are printed in bold, so that they stick out
as well. Any strings are printed in 8 point Courier (or LinePrinter) so that the reader
is reminded that they are strings.

Comments that are own their own lines are treated as significant paragraphs of information; explanations.
They are printed in Times (the most legible font) on a gray background. The gray background
helps remind the reader that this is comments, and helps separate the sections of code.

Any comments that are found in line with some code are printed in the left column, again
in Times. These comments are treated as annotations concerning specific lines, much
as if they are annotations.

If the parser discovers a line which appears to be a function declaration, the function
name is printed in 12 or 14 point Helevetica-Bold, with a wide underbar. This helps break
up the body, and helps locate functions.

The PostScript option produces placeable EPS files.

If you use the RTF option, the output does not follow the above placement rules, since
Word4Windows has real trouble putting text right-column-then-left-column. It also
has trouble with colored backgrounds. So, for RTF:
.nf
everything begins in column 1
comments are in blue, Times 8 point
the tab control is not as good as the other conversions

==> Notes:

The LaserJet codes have been carefully selected so that these codes work equally well
on the Kyocera series and on the LaserJet III.

==> Known Bugs:

Sometimes long lines will not be fully visible on the output.

==> History:

1.5 Added C++ codes
1.6 minor touch on the dimensions of the gray boxes
1.7 Added RTF generator
Added LaserJet III codes
Fixed bug with "strings with embedd'd quotes"
added #ifndef to keywords
optimized lines with trailing whitespace
recognize form feeds in the source

==> Conditions:

Naturally, we deny any responsibility for any problems you may encounter with the
program. We do not support in any way this program.

The only condition on the use of this program is that we require that
any enhancements you may make be sent back to us, so that we may take
advantage of them.
