Premia Corporation, from Oregon, just releases the version 6.0 of his famous Code Wright. You can download a time limited trial copy (30 days) from the developers web site. The file - cw60.exe - have 12,9MB. I @Macarlo downloaded it. I'm just running this fine release in my C++ IDE on Windows NT 4 SP5.

INSTALLATION
----------------

  You must use the SETUP.EXE program on the distribution disk
  to install CodeWright.  Most of the files on the distribution
  CD-ROM are compressed and need to be properly decompressed and
  registered.

  To launch the CD browser, execute the SETUP.EXE program on the CD-ROM
  from within Windows. From the CD browser, select 'Install Products.'
  If you encounter problems running or installing from the CD browser,
  you may execute SETUP.EXE directly from
        \SETUP16 (16-bit 5.1d)  or
        \SETUP32 (32-bit 6.0).

  If installing on Windows 95/98 or Windows NT 4.0/5.0, you can click on
  the Add/Remove Programs icon in the Control Panel window.

  If you don't intend to modify CodeWright you can choose 'Typical'
  installation which does not install the DLL C source code.  This will
  save both time and disk space.  The source code may be installed later
  if you need it.

  The installation program now registers CodeWright in the Windows
  Registry.  You can use the File | Associate feature of Windows
  File Manager to 'associate' the CodeWright editor with common
  file extensions such as .c, .h, .txt, etc.  Double-clicking on one
  of these files will then display the selected file(s) in the
  CodeWright editor.

  If you should later need to replace any of your installed CodeWright
  source files, a complete copy of all source files can be found in the
  CD-ROM directory \SOURCE or \SETUP16\IMAGE (16-bit).

LATEST CHANGES
------------------

  For a summary of the new features in CodeWright V6.0, see the file
  UPDATE.TXT.       #$-MACRO: Click here to view file UPDATE.TXT-$#

  Importing Project Files

    You may now add filenames to a CodeWright Project from an SCC
    Provider Project.  Conversely, you may also add files to an SCC
    Provider Project from a CodeWright Project.  See the Project |
    Properties | Files dialog and the "Version Control Configuration"
    topic in the CW_FAQ helpfile.

    Project Spaces are automatically created for CodeWright Projects
    that are not opened in a Project Space.

  Sync Technologies

    You can now automatically synchronize edited files between 32-bit
    CodeWright and any of the following applications:

      Microsoft Visual Basic 6.0
      Microsoft Visual C++, V2.x
      Microsoft Developer Studio, V4.x
      Microsoft Visual Studio 97, V5.0 and V6.0
      Borland Delphi-32, V2.0, V3.0 and V4.0
      Borland C++ IDE, V5.0
      Borland C++ Builder Development Environment, V1.0 and V3.0.

    See CWHELP.HLP for information on customizing your installation.

  New release of Tags Generator

    The latest version 2.4 of the Public Domain software is included
    with CodeWright.  TAGSW16.EXE (16-bit) or TAGSW32.EXE (32-bit)
    replace the older WTAGS.EXE supplied with previous versions.
    Instructions for use can be found in TAGS.DOC in the CodeWright
    home directory.  Complete source code and the General Public License
    is available in the CodeWright Support Files on the CD-ROM.

  InstallShield Silent Installation

    CodeWright installation now supports the InstallShield Silent
    installation process, if desired.  InstallShield Silent allows
    automated software installations with no need for a user to
    monitor the installation and provide input via dialog boxes.
    An InstallShield Silent installation runs on its own, without
    human intervention.  This is a useful method for System
    Administrators who need to identically configure several machines.

  Spell Check

    Spell check now supports languages such as C, C++, Java, Pascal and
    Basic. There are dictionaries available for languages other than
    English. By running Spell Check on DICT.U and adding words found,
    you can update the new user dictionary (USERDIC.TLX) with words
    found in the old user dictionary (DICT.U).

KNOWN PROBLEMS
------------------

  Symbol Database (.SBL) File Fragmentation

    Over time, the symbol database file, cwright.sbl, can become
    fragmented with use.  This can result in "sluggish" behavior
    while editing, as well as consuming additional disk space.

    Simply right-click on the Output Window Symbols tab to get the
    pop-up dialog, then select 'Compact symbol DB'.  This will
    defragment the symbols database.  Should problems persist,
    please contact us (see Section 1 for contact information).

  Symbol Database (.SBL) File Corruption

    The problems in earlier releases with corrupted information
    in the symbol database (.SBL) files have been fixed.
    However, it is always possible that a power outage or system
    crash could corrupt the .SBL file.  If this happens, you might
    encounter the following message on startup:

        Internal Error: Unable to allocate memory

    If this happens, just delete the cwright.sbl file in your
    CodeWright home directory and restart.  Should problems persist,
    please contact us (see Section 1 for contact information).

  CodeSense

    To disable background parsing, select "Symbol file" in the
    Directories tab of the Project | Properties dialog and uncheck
    "Auto-Update Symbol Databases".

    For better CodeSense performance, it is recommended that
    only FAT/FAT32 file systems be used instead of NTFS.

    CodeSense support for local variable definitions is currently only
    available after a file save operation.
