FuseMinder 1.0 by jeff.peters@bigfoot.com                     20 Oct 2000
=========================================================================
FuseMinder is a ColdFusion custom tag designed to assist in the design
of applications using the Fusebox methodology.  It reads an outline file
and generates the specified circuit directories, FuseDoc files, circuit
fuseboxes, and home fusebox.

Syntax:
=========================================================================
  <cf_fuseminder OutlineFile="myOutline.txt">

Optional Arguments:
=========================================================================
  location - a fully qualified path where the main app's fusebox will be
             located.  All circuits will be built down from this point.
             Defaults to the location of the FuseMinder.cfm file.
             
  verbose  - a boolean value indicating whether to produce progress
             information during the process.  Defaults to TRUE.  Set this
             to FALSE if you want to use FuseMinder as a custom tag with
             no visible output.
             
  indenter - a string indicating the characters you use to indent your
             outline levels.  Defaults to two spaces "  ".
             
Intended applications:
=========================================================================
FuseMinder is intended as a tool to help you get your Fusebox app frame-
work cranked out in short order.  It is particularly useful if used in 
conjunction with Visual Mind, a mind mapping program (www.visual-mind.com).

If you use Visual Mind, follow these steps:
- Create a mind map with the application as the center node.  Label it in
  the format "app name:author info".  Create circuit, fuseaction, and fuse
  levels in the map.  If you want FuseMinder to include Fusedocs in your
  fuse files, type the Fusedocs into the Notes section for each fuse file.
- Output your mind map as Tabbed Text format.
- Delete all the formatting junk between the top of the file and your
  application's title.  (I'm trying to get info from Visual Mind's creators
  to generate a non-format-inclusive text file so this step will become
  moot.)
- Use the resulting outline file as input for FuseMinder.  

Of course, you can always use a plain text editor to create your outline
as well.  I've included a sample outline with both space insertions and
"+-" type insertions so you can see how it works; it's really quite simple.

Have fun!
