    You could try using Doxygen and write the documentation in the code itself.

    Hey! I was going to say that. We now use doxygen as the standard across our company for internal documentation. I use it at home too. Paresh Solanki "Set you're faces to stunned..."

      I don't have a solution to your particular problem, but I do have a lazy developer tool: The App Creator 9000. At the click of a button it writes a your whole program for you. It even conforms to what ever coding conventions you prefer (so it looks like your code). I'm offering this wonderful product for the low cost of $10,000 (up front of course). Any takers? :)

        Are there any tools for lazy developers? For example assume my boss asks me to prepare a design doc :-( Now say I don't like typing in stuff like that and so I just write my program. Now is there some kinda auto-tool that will parse my C++ source and prepare a dummy design doc for me with blanks which I fill in. Like for example it could parse all my classes and list the public methods in a nice formatted fashion etc... or it could list all the cpp files in the project with num of lines and num of classes etc... Is that possible? :~

        They do have documentation tools out there. I personally use DOxygen, but you have to put in special comments. But by the time you write something out doesn't that defeat the purpose of a design doc? HomeNuke ---- "Nuke'd Your Home, Yet?"

          It will produce code for any platform, and it will run on any platform. And it all fits in less than 10KB.

                            but surely that is missing the point. I have this argument all the time with people I work with. A good design before starting coding saves time and effort later. It helps you to know how long something will take and whether the project is worth the effort. It also helps to highlight problems before you go to the trouble of coding something. The worst thing is to write a bucket load of code and then realise that you've made a bad assumption or that there is a flaw in your logic. A design documents allows othe people to pick-up on your mistakes before you make them. Michael :-) Time flies like an arrow. Fruit flies like a banana

                              Bah! Developers write code. A lazy developer is one who is lazy abt non-coding stuff! So if a developer is lazy about developing code itself he is a fictional character cause then he is not a developer. Anyway even for those pseudo developers I wouldn't recommend App Creator 9000. I've heard complaints about it, seems it removed the lazy class wizard which was there in App Creator 8000. Now it has some kinda silly property window with drop down combos from which to add stuff ;-) Nish

                              All of my opinions are correct, even when reality makes the mistake of disagreeing with me.
