IBM DAPTOOLS

DAPTOOLS is a library of useful programs for software developers that consists of tools, utilities, and source code examples.

History

Access to DAPTOOLS was restricted, and offered to members of IBM's Worldwide Developer Assistance Program. The tools library was originally conceived as an extension of the OS/2 Toolkit, and was formerly called ESDTOOLS.

In December 1992, the library was renamed DAPTOOLS and brought under the auspices of the Developer Assistance Program. It was accessible only by IBMLink users through IBM's U.S. Developer Assistance Program. Later all members of IBM's Worldwide Developer Assistance Program could access via CompuServe. Some programs on IBMLink were not copied to CompuServe because they have been released as IBM Employee Written Software and are available elsewhere.

Licence

Programs in the DAPTOOLS library are licensed, and their distribution is therefore restricted. Before downloading any of the DAPTOOLS programs, you should read and consent to the DAPTOOLS library license. In addition to the DAPTOOLS library license, each DAPTOOLS program has its own individual license.

Contents

The last line of each entry gives the version number, the date of that version's first appearance in DAPTOOLS, and the author's name.

ADLINE

Adds line numbers to code listing to facilitate cross referencing of corrections/changes made on hardcopy of source to the on-line (edit) copy.
