See this page for a list of the current apps: http://fossil.wanderinghorse.net/repos/libfossil/index.cgi/wiki?name=f-tools If you wanted, for example, to create a tool which calculates the md5 of a given zip file, you could use f-zip as a basis and, instead of writing the zip to a file, use the libf md5 API to hash it. Or add a flag to f-zip which does that. With script bindings it becomes even simpler. The proof-of-concept "th1ish" bindings show us that it can be done: http://fossil.wanderinghorse.net/repos/libfossil/cgidemo/ (That's ALL implemented using the libfossil script bindings, by the way!) and i am at this very moment working on the next generation of that scripting engine to get around limitations in that engine i ran into while implementing an interactive fossil shell: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1hvMoHSIz94dob6fCU6SLxle_s7YL6CrA_4aU12OWwWY/view :) (That code is the reason libfossil is at a standstill at the moment ;) -- ----- stephan beal http://wanderinghorse.net/home/stephan/ http://gplus.to/sgbeal "Freedom is sloppy.
