I've got to add something, if anybody is interested :)
Since Win's commandline is so ... lacking I wrote a small GUI
frontend. It's not thoroughly tested, I lack a machine without
Visual Studio. It ran and installed nicely on NT4/SP6 and 98SE,
though.
The compiled version contains a control from Component One that I
have licensed. It's not in the source package, since it would pop
up a nag-screen when compiling (only unlicensed controls do that).
If anybody wants the source _with_ the control and have the nag
version (downloadable from Component One) or the licensed one, let
me know.
I coded around a minor bug. When plucking a file-URL instead of a
http-URL, plucker's URL starts:
file:c:/<somepath>
HTTP takes:
http://<somewhere.org>
Could someone tell me when this will be fixed so that I can
conditionalize?
Another small feature that was a bit annoying was the "Hit any
key" at the end. The verbose switch didn't work (at least here), so
I left it out, but I'd like to close the dosbox cleanly when done.
Would anybody be so kind to sting me with a pointer?
The frontend (pre-prestable alpha) is on
www.lissi.dusnet.de/PluckerFrontend.zip (full setup)
www.lissi.dusnet.de/PluckerFrontendSource.zip (source in VB6)
Krayzel, would you be interested in interfacing?
Oh, and: Hi all, I'm new here :) Plucker's a decent thing. I like
the fact that it doesn't nose around as AvantGo would.
