When programming in C it is often necessary to create header files containing amongst others, function prototypes. Automating the creation of these files is desirable as creating them manually is a cumbersome and boring task. The Zap extension module 'ZapMJE' by Martin Ebourne provides a command, MJE_GENERATEHEADER, to do this. Unfortunately it isn't perfect, as:

    static functions are also included in the header file
    you can't automatically create new header files
    it can handle one file at a time only, so updating lots of header files is not an easy job
    ZapMJE does not work with StrongEd or (shock, horror...) Edit 

Proto addresses these problems and adds some extra features.

The application also contains a DOS commandline version which can be integrated in Borland C++, Visual C++, etc.
