<h1>
Dependencies Dialogue Box
</h1>
<p>
This dialogue box is displayed by choosing the <em>View |
Dependencies</em> main menu item. It has two tabs: <em>Depends Upon</em>
and <em>Required By</em>.
</p>
<h2>
<em>Depends Upon</em> Tab
</h2>
<p>
If the selected snippet has dependenciess (i.e. snippets it requires in
order to compile) a tree of snippets is displayed that shows the direct
and indirect dependencies. When there are no dependencies a message is
displayed to that effect.
</p>
<p>
If a circular reference is detected (i.e. the snippet depends directly or
indirectly upon itself) the circular reference is displayed in red and an
error message is displayed. Such a dependency indicates there is an error
in the database.
</p>
<h2>
<em>Required By</em> Tab
</h2>
<p>
This tab displays a simple list of snippets that immediately depend on the
selected snippet. Again, if there are no snippets to list a message is
displayed to that effect.
