Prototype Explorer

Prototype Explorer (RYB_DLLS.TPW)

The Prototype Explorer extension template is one of the pieces that allows you to document and create an overall MAP of how each application is related to each other application. It tells you what is IMPORTED and EXPORTED to other applications, and what is LOCAL and does not leave this application. Adding this extension to all the applications gives you a Large Application Map, it also gives you a way to search with a text editor for a specific procedure or function.

The parameters needed for the extension template are pretty straight forward and additional explanations are on the template itself about posible naming conventions.

The created definition files for each application contains three sections that are delimited below by markers that define each section. The show the name, date, time, and description of each procedure or function. The sections are:

! ========= IMPORTED INTO THIS APPLICATION =========
! ========= LOCAL ONLY TO THIS APPLICATION =========
! ========= EXPORTED FROM THIS APPLICATION =========

There is a slight difference added to the data in the IMPORTED section. It contains the name of the DLL that the procedure or section is defined as the source of that procedure.

Any government will work if authority and responsibility are equal and coordinate. This does not insure good government, it simply insures that it will work. But such governments are rare — most people want to run things, but want no part of the blame. This used to be called the backseat driver syndrome.
