I've got the plkrdata program working thus far under Windows. It does full
sanity checking, parameter checking, etc., everything except the icons, and
has three functions:
/load
/save
/register
all of which are working such that it can create channel files, receive and
add them on the other end, and point to itself in the registry such that
Windows knows what *.plkrdata files are and what to do with them.
(And yes, Robert, it supports multiple channels per file. <grin>)
The /register works under Windows; I haven't written the Linux bit for that
yet, although that will be MUCH simpler. But three questions for the group.
1. Is an "unregister" desirable?
2. I'm a bit at loose ends on the icon inclusion still. I've never seen a
TBMP on the P.C., and don't appear to have any, at least by that extension,
on mine. Should I just encode whatever file they point at, or is something
a bit more rigorous desired?
3. Which is the preferred image encoding library or mechanism to
use? Obviously I can simply plop them in using anything I'd like since
they're just going point-to-point, but that would ignore the brief
discussion about the merits of ASCII line art inside INI files.
