Webmaker for IDL available

[Martin Schultz <martin.schultz(at)dkrz.de>]

Dear IDLers,

   I am happy to announce a new tool for automatic generation of
web pages with IDL programs, i.e. IDL library browser pages.
Check out

  http://www.mpimet.mpg.de/~schultz.martin/idl/webmaker/index.html

if you want to see sample pages generated by webmaker 1.0, read the
documentation, or purchase a license. Since this is a highly 
specialized (yet very flexible) tool, I am not going to give it
away for free. On the other hand, the shareware concept doesn't
seem to gripe in this community, so I decided for a different approach:
I let you see the result (the sample pages) and the
documentation, but if you want to use the program, you must contact me
and purchase a copy (for only US$20 or Euro 20). You will then 
get full access to all source code, and I offer relatively generous
support. This includes free upgrades (at least until a new major release
is produced), help in getting it to run or changing the appearance of
the web pages you generate with webmaker.

   As always with commercial software, here a few highlights that shall
wake your appetite:

Webmaker
* provides a setup tool and allows easy configuration via one
  include file
* scans one or several program libraries (directories) with IDL
  routines 
* finds duplicate routine names
* automatically extracts the program category and description from
  the program header
* uses an alias mechanism to organize categories
* generates all web pages through HTML template files, i.e. no
  change in the webmaker IDL code is required if you want to change
  the appearance of your web pages.
* produces an extensive log file which will help you in case of
  errors
* runs on Windows and Unix (Linux) machines

Cheers,
Martin
