Completed a new version of my project file (PRJ) builder and added it to the Software Library. Took some cooperation from UltraEdit but the major change was the addition of a new section to the PRJ ...
[Project Information]
Use Relative Directory=0
Relative to Project File=0
Include Sub Directories=0
Project Tagfile=
Project Wordfile=
Filter=
Create Tagfile=0
UE's standard is for the first three settings to be "1". Signature's Console.exe needs full paths. With the above settings all the files in the PRJ have full paths and both UE and Console.exe work they way they did in UE Ver. 9.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
NEWPRJ has some assumptions about my directory structure you may want to change. Generally, I have one DIR for each customer and all their files (IBS, OBJ, INC, etc) are in that DIR. I use the DIR name as the password when I switch between customers during development.
This is how I use PRJ files to my benefit. For instance, I'm adding a field to the Customer Master (C1A) file for customer ABC Plumbing. I make my #CFILES/#FILES changes and build a new ^C1A.INC file. I then run NEWPRJ using DIR = ABC, range of A - Z~, selecting the ones with ^C1A.INC. My source names have no special lead character as they did when they were CED source. I kept the "^" on my INC files.
Then, in UE, I open the project, make my program specific changes, and click Compile Project. Back to Comet and CometEx to check for any SEQ files from bad compiles. This never happens to me but I thought I should mention this step.
You may want to look at UE's Advanced/Tool Configuration/Output settings to change the "DOS Box" and "Capture Output" settings for the Comet commands. I like having the "DOS box" on for Project Compiles. Lets me see that somethings's happening. And, I like the "Capture Output" off as the extra Output boxes are annoying.
Each file can be a maximum of 1MB in length Uploaded files will be purged from the server on a regular basis.
