This is the file README for the xwpe distribution, version 1.4.0. xwpe is a X-window programming environment designed to use on UNIX-systems. It is similar to 'Borland C++ or Turbo Pas- cal' environment. The difference between the programming environments from Borland an xwpe is that many compilers and linkers may be started. From a menu three different debuggers can be chosen. And of course not only key strokes can select these options you can also use a mouse. Errors that occur while compiling and linking a programme can be examined in the sources: The cursor will jump to the corresponding line in the source-file. Programmes using more than one source-file can be managed with the so called project-option (see also project-file). The programme can be started from within the Programming-Environment and errors may be found using a debugger. The debugging-environment allows the user to set and unset breakpoints directly in the source code. The contents of variables may be displayed in a special window, the Watch-Window. This window is updated while reaching a breakpoint. The Stack-Window displays the programme stack. -- Ollivier ROBERT -=- The daemon is FREE! -=- roberto@keltia.frmug.fr.net FreeBSD keltia.freenix.fr 2.2-CURRENT #1: Sun Jan 14 20:23:45 MET 1996
