README file for LOC (Lines of Code Counter) This is a very primitive lines of code counter for windows. It counts the number of nonblank lines in a text file. I realize this isn't very sophisticated, but my rationale is that well written comments take as much effort as the program code itself, so I count comments as well as program statements. INSTALLATION Download the zip file and unzip it. Place the resulting .EXE file wherever you like. YOU MUST HAVE INSTALLED THE TIMELOGGER UTILITY FIRST, because LOC needs the same Visual Basic DLL's installed as TimeLogger. USAGE Select the drive, directory, and files using the selection boxes. Specify a file filter, e.g. *.java, if you desire. Click on "Count Lines" button (or press Alt-C). The results are displayed in the right hand window. The Clear button erases the display. You may also click on individual files in the file display to obtain their line count. To suggest improvements or obtain the source code, contact the author: J. Dalbey jdalbey@calpoly.edu
