Thanks Andrzej, I've now downloaded a copy of GMapTool and can see the license info there. I would not want to force the compiler info to always be written, but it seems sensible to allow codes to be specified in the license file or copyright file to be substituted by mkgmap. Not sure if there is a preference for the format, but we could do something like $MKGMAP_VERSION$, $JAVA_VERSION$, $YEAR$, $DATE$ and $TIME$, which would enable you to have a file with something like the following in it:
World Map copyright 2012-$YEAR$ Compiled by mkgmap version $MKGMAP_VERSION$ java version $JAVA_VERSION$ at $TIME$ on $DATE$. Are there any other substitutions that would be useful?

GMapTool ignore img code page when displaying this info, it could be mangled if you put there something else than ASCII. When you are at this task, I would like to suggest, that mkgmap could always add compiler info and version to license data. This would be helpful, when tracing problems. -- Best regards, Andrzej _______________________________________________ mkgmap-dev mailing list [email protected] http://www.mkgmap.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/mkgmap-dev
