* Makefile.in (clean mostlyclean): Missing right paren. Change `configure' to a mixture of custom code and autoconf stuff. autoconf can't derive all the information we need, but we'd really like to be able to take advantage of some of its tests, and its file-editing facilities. * configure.in: Renamed from configure. Quote the sections of shell script we want copied literally to the configure script. (compile): Initialize this to make the autoconf macros' code happy. Use AC_PROG_CC, AC_CONST, and AC_RETSIGTYPE instead of writing out code to do their jobs. Use autoconf to produce Makefile and src/config.h. Remove the Makefile-style comment that autoconf places at the top of src/config.h. (config_h_opts): Removed - no longer necessary. * Makefile.in (configname): Renamed to configuration. (CONFIG_CFLAGS): Renamed to DEFS. (CC, DEFS, C_SWITCH_SYSTEM, version, configuration): Adjusted to get values via autoload @cookies@. (libsrc_libs): Get this from autoconf. We used to do nothing about this. (${SUBDIR}): Pass DEFS to submakes instead of CONFIG_CFLAGS. * Makefile.in (src/paths.h, lib-src/Makefile, src/Makefile): Don't echo the move-if-change command.

;;;    Normalized error messages.
;;; 30-Jun-1991		Johan Vromans	
;;;    Add support for forms-modified-record-filter.
;;;    Allow the filter functions to be the name of a function.
;;;    Fix: parse--format used forms--dynamic-text destructively.
;;;    Internally optimized the forms-format-list.
;;;    Added support for debugging.
;;;    Stripped duplicate documentation.
;;;   
;;; 29-Jun-1991		Johan Vromans	
;;;    Add support for functions and lisp symbols in forms-format-list.
;;;    Add function forms-enumerate.

(provide 'forms-mode)

;;; Visit a file using a form.
;;;
;;; === Naming conventions
;;;
;;; The names of all variables and functions start with 'form-'.
;;; Names which start with 'form--' are intended for internal use, and
;;; should *NOT* be used from the outside.
;;;
;;; All variables are buffer-local, to enable multiple forms visits 
;;; simultaneously.
;;; Variable 'forms--mode-setup' is local to *ALL* buffers, for it 
;;; controls if forms-mode has been enabled in a buffer.
;;;
;;; === How it works ===
;;;
;;; Forms mode means visiting a data file which is supposed to consist
;;; of records each containing a number of fields. The records are
;;; separated by a newline, the fields are separated by a user-defined
;;; field separater (default: TAB).
;;; When shown, a record is transferred to an emacs buffer and
;;; presented using a user-defined form. One record is shown at a
;;; time.
;;;
;;; Forms mode is a composite mode. It involves two files, and two
;;; buffers.
;;; The first file, called the control file, defines the name of the
;;; data file and the forms format. This file buffer will be used to
;;; present the forms.
;;; The second file holds the actual data. The buffer of this file
;;; will be buried, for it is never accessed directly.
;;;
;;; Forms mode is invoked using "forms-find-file control-file".
;;; Alternativily forms-find-file-other-window can be used.
;;;
;;; You may also visit the control file, and switch to forms mode by hand
;;; with M-x forms-mode .
;;;
;;; Automatic mode switching is supported, so you may use "find-file"
;;; if you specify "-*- forms -*-" in the first line of the control file.
;;; 
;;; The control file is visited, evaluated using
;;; eval-current-buffer, and should set at least the following
;;; variables:
;;;
;;;	forms-file		    [string] the name of the data file.
;;;
;;;	forms-number-of-fields	    [integer]
;;;			The number of fields in each record.
;;;
;;;	forms-format-list           [list]   formatting instructions.
;;;
;;; The forms-format-list should be a list, each element containing
;;;
;;;  - a string, e.g. "hello" (which is inserted \"as is\"),
;;;
;;;  - an integer, denoting a field number. The contents of the field
;;;    are inserted at this point.
;;;    The first field has number one.
;;;
;;;  - a function call, e.g. (insert "text"). This function call is 
;;;    dynamically evaluated and should return a string. It should *NOT*
;;;    have side-effects on the forms being constructed.
;;;    The current fields are available to the function in the variable
;;;    forms-fields, they should *NOT* be modified.
;;;
;;;  - a lisp symbol, that must evaluate to one of the above.
;;;
;;; Optional variables which may be set in the control file:
;;;
;;;	forms-field-sep				[string, default TAB]
;;;			The field separator used to separate the
;;;			fields in the data file. It may be a string.
;;;
;;;	forms-read-only				[bool, default nil]
;;;			't' means that the data file is visited read-only.
;;;			If no write access to the data file is
;;;			possible, read-only mode is enforced. 
;;;
;;;	forms-multi-line			[string, default "^K"]
;;;			If non-null the records of the data file may
;;;			contain fields which span multiple lines in
;;;			the form.
;;;			This variable denoted the separator character
;;;			to be used for this purpose. Upon display, all
;;;			occurrencies of this character are translated
;;;			to newlines. Upon storage they are translated
;;;			back to the separator.
;;;
;;;	forms-forms-scroll			[bool, default t]
;;;			If non-nil: redefine scroll-up/down to perform
;;;			forms-next/prev-field if in forms mode.
;;;
;;;	forms-forms-jump			[bool, default t]
;;;			If non-nil: redefine beginning/end-of-buffer
;;;			to performs forms-first/last-field if in
;;;			forms mode.
;;;
;;;	forms-new-record-filter			[symbol, no default]
;;;			If defined: this should be the name of a 
;;;			function that is called when a new
;;;			record is created. It can be used to fill in
;;;			the new record with default fields, for example.
;;;			Instead of the name of the function, it may
;;;			be the function itself.
;;;
;;;	forms-modified-record-filter		[symbol, no default]
;;;			If defined: this should be the name of a 
;;;			function that is called when a record has
;;;			been modified. It is called after the fields
;;;			are parsed. It can be used to register
;;;			modification dates, for example.
;;;			Instead of the name of the function, it may
;;;			be the function itself.
;;;
;;; After evaluating the control file, its buffer is cleared and used
;;; for further processing.
;;; The data file (as designated by "forms-file") is visited in a buffer
;;; (forms--file-buffer) which will not normally be shown.
;;; Great malfunctioning may be expected if this file/buffer is modified
;;; outside of this package while it's being visited!
;;;
;;; A record from the data file is transferred from the data file,
;;; split into fields (into forms--the-record-list), and displayed using
;;; the specs in forms-format-list.
;;; A format routine 'forms--format' is built upon startup to format 
;;; the records.
;;;
;;; When a form is changed the record is updated as soon as this form
;;; is left. The contents of the form are parsed using forms-format-list,
;;; and the fields which are deduced from the form are modified. So,
;;; fields not shown on the forms retain their origional values.
;;; The newly formed record and replaces the contents of the
;;; old record in forms--file-buffer.
;;; A parse routine 'forms--parser' is built upon startup to parse
;;; the records.
;;;
;;; Two exit functions exist: forms-exit (which saves) and forms-exit-no-save
;;; (which doesn't). However, if forms-exit-no-save is executed and the file
;;; buffer has been modified, emacs will ask questions.
;;;
;;; Other functions are:
;;;
;;;	paging (forward, backward) by record
;;;	jumping (first, last, random number)
;;;	searching
;;;	creating and deleting records
;;;	reverting the form (NOT the file buffer)
;;;	switching edit <-> view mode v.v.
;;;	jumping from field to field
;;;
;;; As an documented side-effect: jumping to the last record in the
;;; file (using forms-last-record) will adjust forms--total-records if
;;; needed.
;;;
;;; Commands and keymaps:
;;;
;;; A local keymap 'forms-mode-map' is used in the forms buffer.
;;; As conventional, this map can be accessed with C-c prefix.
;;; In read-only mode, the C-c prefix must be omitted.
;;;
;;; Default bindings:
;;;
;;;	\C-c	forms-mode-map
;;;	TAB	forms-next-field
;;;	SPC 	forms-next-record
;;;	<	forms-first-record
;;;	>	forms-last-record
;;;	?	describe-mode
;;;	d	forms-delete-record
;;;	e	forms-edit-mode
;;;	i	forms-insert-record
;;;	j	forms-jump-record
;;;	n	forms-next-record
;;;	p	forms-prev-record
;;;	q	forms-exit
;;;	s	forms-search
;;;	v	forms-view-mode
;;;	x	forms-exit-no-save
;;;	DEL	forms-prev-record
;;;
;;; Standard functions scroll-up, scroll-down, beginning-of-buffer and
;;; end-of-buffer are wrapped with re-definitions, which map them to
;;; next/prev record and first/last record.
;;; Buffer-local variables forms-forms-scroll and forms-forms-jump
;;; may be used to control these redefinitions.
;;;
;;; Function save-buffer is also wrapped to perform a sensible action.
;;; A revert-file-hook is defined to revert a forms to original.
;;;
;;; For convenience, TAB is always bound to forms-next-field, so you
;;; don't need the C-c prefix for this command.
