What do you mean? A reimplementation of fribidi in freepascal or interface to the fribidi library in freepascal? > I want to test my translation, and for that i need to write some code > that will implement all of the functions, for that i need to understand > whats going on this lib, and how to useit, and i can't seems to find a > good documentation about it, or the own demo of fribidi in it's source. > And not even google helps me with it. First of all, IMHO a reimplementation would not be a grand idea. Fribidi is already tested and mature. Some existing bottle-necks have been identified and handled. It would save you the need to verify the basic imeplementation. IIRC the source of fribidi includes some relevant tests. The fribidi command will probably come handy in automated tests, as it exposes much of the functionality of the library. > > I would appreceate any poiting to a demo (with comments inside of > curse) and/or documentation about it The command frbidi itself can be a good start. fribidi is also used in pango, AbiWord (a C++ program) and a number of smaller programs (Nadav's bidiv, motor, fvwm, centericq, etc.) Furthermore, the fribidi mailing list is alive and well. It should be a good place for implementation issues , even though many of the library's contributers read this list. -- Tzafrir Cohen mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.technion.ac.il/~tzafrir ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
