INTRODUCTION

This is just a small (cli only) tool i hacked together  to  calculate  the
size of C structures contained in .h files.


USAGE

CLI> calcstruct ?

   FILE/A,CHECK/K/S

   FILE/A        - the name of the include file
   CHECK/K/S     - check the syntax and only output the size


LIMITATIONS

Until now, all #??????  directives,  especially  #include,  and  structure
union's aren't implemented :(

If you have your structure definitions splattered all over the place,  you
have to generate a big .h file, where every structure is included.

If you include system structures, why not define a  dummy  structure,  for
example

    STRUCT MsgPort {
	CHAR    dummy[34];
    };

to get the *real* size of your structure.

Arrays are limited to two dimensions, for example

    CHAR Data[10][10]

is o.k. but

    CHAR Data[10][10][10]

isn't implemented (if someone needs this, contact me).
