- Souper Version 1.1 - Soup Manager of the Newton™
- --------------------------------------------------------------
-
- As I began to work with, and develop software for the Newton™, I
- was frustrated by the fact that I couldn't clear out a file ("Soup")
- easily. I had to delete each record ("Entry") individually, so I started
- to write an application that would clear out a Soup.
-
- Once I got started, I began to add other things to my 'wish list' and
- the package you now have grew out of that list.
-
- Within the Souper application you have the ability to select the
- "Store" on which you want to work and the Soup you wish to operate
- on. You may rename a given Soup, Delete to entire Soup, Clear all
- entries out of a Soup, or get information about a Soup.
-
- The functions Rename,Remove,Clear, and Duplicate operate as you would expect.
-
- The Information function returns the number of entries in a Soup, the
- total size of all entries within the Soup, and a list of all the indices
- over that Soup. At present, that is all that is available in this function,
- however, I intend to add the ability to create new Indexes, remove old
- Indexes, or view/edit individual entries within the Soup.
-
- Bugs Fixed :
-
- 1. Souper was preventing you from seeing the last Soup in a Store.
- This has been fixed.
-
- 2. Souper was returning a count of one object in an empty Soup.
- This has been fixed.
-
- Known Bugs:
-
- 1. If you try to duplicate a soup using the same name and in the
- same Store, a warning message appears. This message disappears
- and doesn't clear all of its self off the display.
-
- Note:
-
- I have included the files for Souper with the application, but they should
- not be taken as examples of good programming technique. However, I would
- greatly appreciate any comments you wish to make, as it will help me
- in my attempts to program follow-on applications.
