I've drawn up plans for a splitfile manager that handles both the publishing and retrieving of splitfiles from within ezFCPlib. It stems from the ideas you offered a few months ago. There's also tons of memory leaks, both in ezFCPlib (a no-no) and the fcptools (more tolerable, since they're not resident like the library). I think some of these leaks are causing mysterious errors that have been so far impossible to track. Before I do anything, I will post an email with a concise plan for the "rewrite" of FCPtools. I quote rewrite because much of the code is ok the way it is, and I would prefer preserving the parts that are solid. I will identify the key areas to be addressed first and foremost and go from there. In the meantine, the 0.4.7 branch will remain the "stable" (whatever that means at this point in time) branch, and I will commit the rewrite-related changes to HEAD. Perhaps if the 0.4.7 branch is patched to the max it will approach some sense of usability. Feel free to band-aid anything that's broken in the branch. - -- Jay Oliveri "In the land of the blind, GnuPG ID: 0x5AA5DD54 the one-eyed man is king." -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.7 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE9aoDD5JyaE1ql3VQRAtSoAJ47hvguFawCHil+ODOmaafSdCHinQCgmvhx DbYQvSla8mn7zmO79vJkzbU= =T8o1 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ devl mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://hawk.freenetproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/devl
