<< zero-terminated strings would cause similar problems as HyperCard has (it
chokes in NULL characters), so this is definitely not what we want. I'd
suggest using an unsigned long instead of the length byte for a "pascal"
string. SInce this is what OTString is very likely to work with, too, we'll
be able to use that.>>
Agreed. I have no desire for null-terminated strings. As for the text engine,
I have no desire to write such a beast, but I can see that an in-house engine
might be necessary. I would suggest putting our noses to the ground, however,
and seeing for sure if there is anything already out there that we can use or
at least build on. If anyone is inspired to write it from scratch more power
to them, just not my cup of tea...
Oh, BTW, Do we have a central site in use for posting our latest code? I hate
to keep asking different people for stuff to be individually sent. I'm primed
to do some work on a few Hypertalk commands and some XDR implementation in
the next few days, but I need the pieces to get started...
