About

CMarker 0.6b1 I am posting this on behalf of the friend of mine in England who wrote it. This is an invaluable utility for Think C. It places a little button next to the close box in the title bar of each source file window, and when you click on it, a menu of all the functions in the file drops down. By selecting a name from the menu, it will automatically move to that function. It makes it incredibly quick to find your way around source files, especially large ones. The other useful feature it has is to do with comments. C comments do not nest, so if you have a block of C full of comments, and you want to comment out the whole block, then just naively putting comment marks at the beginning and the end of the block will not work. CMarker allows you to select a block of text, choose the 'Comment' command from the menu, and it will comment the whole block, in a way so that the embedded comments don't mess it up. When you later select the same block again, the menu option changes to 'UnComment' and it will reverse the changes it made. This is all it does, but it does it job extremely well. It is unobtrusive, reliable, and doesn't take much memory. I like it because it does what I want, and does it well, instead of doing 100 things poorly, which seems to be the case with so many utilities these days.
