ResDisplay

I’ve just been doing a bit of work on ResDisplay over the last couple of days. The version in the source tree needs quite a bit of TLC.

Would anyone know whether there a test harness exists for it? Or indeed any kind of other documentation or roadmap?

I have a local module which compiles, has hopefully ‘caught up’ with the build tree and seems to be working – but clearly it is incomplete and if either of those things exist it would make the process of developing and testing it easier. Clearly both are writable otherwise but there are enough wheels re-invented in RO land without adding to them if it can be avoided!

‘This is an unofficial personal project.’

I think you’re on your own with this one!

I /might/ be able to put you in touch with Stuart Brodie, who it looks like wrote it in the first place. If you think that would be a help?

Jeffrey: don’t worry I was aware of that line! Only asking in case stuff may exist which is not checked in.

Or more precisely: if you don’t ask, you definitely won’t get!

Currently writing a test harness, ResEd editor tool, etc etc. one drawback is I only have what is implemented – and clearly that doesn’t reflect a finished public API. It may be that such a thing had not been decided. But that does leave a task of trying to draw up what I think the API should be, and then implementing (or keeping the API ‘for internal use only and subject to change’ initially which may be wiser).

William, have you seen this, which shows (roughly) what Rik Griffin’s toolbox gadgets can do Filer-style? Is that similar to ResDisplay?
