Users Manual • Why FrameMaker? • Export both to PDF and HTML • Equation interface • Structuring and rules facilitate uniform updates • Structure facilitates re-organization • Auto-numbering • Cross reference • Dynamic index and table of contents
Code Structure Revision • Three archived CVS branches now exist: • roms-1 • roms-2 • roms-2-old • Because of the restructuring of the source code into multiple directories, now we have two roms-2 branches to allow comparisons between and old and new versions.
Source Code Browser • The code browser allows you to navigate through the different algorithm branches and their scopes. • It contains a clickable tree of all the calls within the code for browsing • The links provide information about the number of calls to and calls from a specific component of the code
