An extensible mechanism is disclosed (Fig. 1B), whereby a software developer may update a database (171) to add source-code files and directories to particular projects (178). The use of free software foundation tools provides a developer with a uniform built environment, thus allowing portability between different platforms such as Windows TM, UNIX, and Linux. Similarly, a mechanism is disclosed for archiving documentation files. By storing files in rich text format, the documentation files can be archived using standard source-code-control systems (184). |
