--------------------~--~~---~-------------------~----------- To: Nellie Conners, Di~rJ< van Nouhuys, Bill Libby, Sheila Mulligan, Bar·ry .Haynes, Rorii Johnston, Fred F'orsmant Pete Cressmant Keri Doyle, DicK Young, Steve LucKau From: Larry Roth Subject: Date: Review of the WorKshop 25 February, Manual 1903 Attached you will find a copy of the Workshop manual in its current state for your review. Please return comments to me as scJon as possible, by March 7. I think 1:his manual wou)d be much more useful with more examples,. Please looK for places that could use examples, then supply the exampl~ needed, or tell me where to find it. Because of the short notice involved in getting this review out, the chapters are Mot all in the best of states. Please note the following: o I have received comments for chapters 6 and 8 <The Assembler arid The Debugger> that I have not yet incorporated. · o Chapter 9 <U$ing S:xec. Files> is not complete, outline of all I plan to cover is there. o Chapter 10 <The Utilities> is not complete. The format is not correct either. S:ach utility write up will contain three sections, as follows: Purpose : A two to four line statement capa.bili ties of the utility. but the of the function and Dialog : A print out of a typical dialog with the user, showing Rrompts and responses. Explanation : This section explains all the things you might need to Ktiow about the utility and using it. This is similar in scope and function to the current write ups we have on the utilities. Tha.nK yc>u for your attention to this matter. USER...-SGUIDE l..-...IORJ-C:::SHOP Larry Rot~ 29 Ja.nuary 1983 Alpha Draft COt-..ITENTS 1 • INTRODUCTI ctl The Workshop provides tools for- prc)gram deve'loprnent.
