QUICK START
===========

A) Tips
-------

1) The File Open dialog allows you to open multiple files at once.  You just
   use Ctrl or Shift in conjunction with the left mouse button to select all
   the files to open.

2) Dialogs that accept multiple file names, such as File Open, Manage Files
   and Extract Strings, can take a directory name as the first name in the
   list.  All subsequent names are then assumed to be files in that directory.
   eg: "c:\apps *.txt *.ini" is the same as "c:\apps\*.txt c:\apps\*.ini"

B) File Filters Customization
-----------------------------

File filters are a means of using wild cards to list only files with matching
names in the File Open/Save As dialogs.  You can predefine up to 10 filters
for commonly used wild cards.  Note that you can have different sets of
filters for each project, and for when you are working in non-project mode.
In project mode, the default set of filters depends on which environment you
select.  To configure the filters on the File Open dialog, choose the Global 
Settings command on the settings menu, and click on the File Filters button
on the Global Settings dialog.  Then specify your own filters, or click on
the help button for further information.

C) Existing Makefiles
---------------------

If you want to use Windev to build a project for which you have an existing
makefile, follow these steps:

1) Choose the Select Project command from the Project menu.
2) In the Select Project dialog, fill in the full path to the directory in
    which your makefile and source files are stored, and press the Change To
    button.
3) Windev will change its working directory to your project directory, and
    create a configuration file called windev.ini.
4) Choose the Configure Project dialog by selecting the Configure Project
    command on the Project menu.
5) Fill in the name of your target executable (this is needed for the Debug
    and Test commands).
6) Choose the relevant compiler from the Environment list box, or if your
    compiler is not in the list, select "Other" and then configure each of the
    settings.  Use the predefined compiler, linker and builder (make program)
    settings as an example, and see the online help on project variables for a
    description of each setting.
7) If you require the make program (eg. nmake.exe) to be run with any
    arguments, click on "BuildArgs" in the scrolling list, type the arguments
    in the Setting edit field, and click Set.  Typically, you will at least
    require something like "-f project.mak" (without the quotes).
8) If you want to do a debug build, check the "Debug Build" box.  This will
    have the effect of adding the arguments specified against "BuildDebug" in
    the scrolling list box.  If the defaults are not appropriate, change it in
    the same way as "BuildArgs".
9) Close the Configure Project dialog.

Check that it all works by choosing the Build command from the Project menu.
This will execute your make commands in a minimized DOS window.  The output
is automatically displayed in a window if there are any errors, but you can
see it anyway, after the build has completed, by selecting the View Results
command on the Project menu.
