Great, this is what I was hoping for. Unfortunately, I do not have time to write a detailed response until this evening. But, the overview would be this: * Get a subversion client so you can check out the source code. Depending on how you prefer to work, you can get a GUI client or a command line client. They both have easy installs, unintstall completely when asked, and are easy to use. Since this is about ooDialog, I'm assuming you will be working on Windows. There are command line clients for Linux also. GUI version: http://tortoisesvn.net/downloads.html Get the 32-bit or 64-bit version depending on your system and preferences. Command line version: http://subversion.apache.org/packages.html Get the 32-bit or 64-bit version depending on your system and preferences. * Check out the code. You need to check out the source code for oodialog.pdf. It is also easy to do. You can check out just the oodialog portion and put it anywhere you want on your system. From the command line after your svn client is installed: C:\work>svn co https://oorexx.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/oorexx/docs/trunk/oodialog myOODialogWork "svn co" is the command. Then comes the URL for the repository. "myOODialogWork" is the directory on you system where the source goes. It can be named anything you want. Using Tortoise SVN is very similar, and should be simple. I do not use it that much and do not know the exact steps off the top of my head. But, once installed, you work with it through Windows Explorer. Browse to the folder you want to keep the source code in. For the above example, browse to C:\work. Then create the folder "myOODialogWork". Right-click on myOODialogWork and do a check out. Somewhere you will have to put in the URL I've listed above. * Get the latest oodialog.pdf. Every night the build machine compiles the ooRexx docs, if there have been any changes. You can therefore get the most up-to-date version of oodialog.pdf there. Browse to: http://build.oorexx.org/builds/docs/ The subdirectory with the hightest number is the latest build. Today it is 6115. Go to that directory and you can directly download oodialog.pdf. That version is the most up-to-date. =========================================== To be continued. But the above will get you started. -- Mark Miesfeld ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Lotusphere 2011 Register now for Lotusphere 2011 and learn how to connect the dots, take your collaborative environment to the next level, and enter the era of Social Business. http://p.sf.net/sfu/lotusphere-d2d _______________________________________________ Oorexx-users mailing list Oorexx-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/oorexx-users
