Progress File Manager - Changes

Progress File Manager is a source code management tool for the Progress 4GL that displays your project as a hierarchical structure of module dependencies - the 'source tree'.

Progress File Manager source tree 
The Progress File Manager source tree

Your project is organised into folders, each one representing a PROPATH entry. Within each folder are contained the source files found in that directory. Within each source file are contained all the other source files used by that module; any includes mentioned, any external procedures run from the module are shown as ‘children’ of the source file.

Besides providing a convenient way to view your project, Progress File Manager also provides various useful facilities to make navigating your source code easier. You can perform full text searches of your code by folder, determine the compiler dependencies of a particular module, copy source files using drag-and-drop, and more.

Features

bulletIncludes comprehensive online documentation (requires Microsoft HTML Help).
bulletDoes not require Progress to run. 
bulletThe source tree and its configuration is saved into a single document file, meaning that you can easily have a separate tree to keep track of each of your source code projects.
bullet'Make' facility that examines only changed modules can be set to automatically run whenever the source tree is loaded, to ensure that it is kept constantly up-to-date.
bullet'Dependencies' function shows where a file is used - useful for compiling changes made to an include file.
bulletFull text incremental searching can be performed on all or part of your code base.
bulletScratchpad windows can be used to group files on which you are currently working.
bulletSupports multiple file extensions for include files - ideal for legacy code.
