Joel, Public comment deserves public response: Over the 2 months that you worked on your extensions to the Search code, we had numerous emails / chat sessions about what I would not accept in the engine, namely: 1) adding 2 megs of source code of someone elses project just to parse logi

Also, I'm leaning towards supporting only PocketPC2002+ since that is the toolset I have. I would say PocketPC in general ought to be the target. But if you're going to get us as far as PocketPC 2002, I don't think it should be that much of a problem for someone else to get it running on the ori

Hey geeks, I have a challenge to pose! :) There is new code in sword/tests/swbuftest.cpp that performs speed tests. I bet you can't make it faster! :) (actually, I guess I bet you can or I wouldn't be posting this email) SWBuf is our new replacement for the STL std::string class. It's used

Herb, After we finally get 1.5.6 out the door, I'll begin moving read/write/lseek calls as inline method calls to FileMgr. They'll just call ::read/::write/::lseek in the default impl. This should isolate all fileio into FileMgr, as far as I can remember. untgz is optional code. you shouldn

That's what I thought and I agree. Since the #ifdef(s) would primarily be for system services (file/directory, time, etc.), these things should be broken out into OS specific abstraction layers (like the FileMgr class you mention). I'm actually pleasantly surprised at how much of the code compile

As soon as I have some time (which is very soon, I hope, I'm currently in project that's running a month over time). Thank you very much for your intentions. I'm under the persuasion that an editing tool should be a separate piece of software. I agree with that. My idea is a stand-alone app, wo

If the wince compiler is still so non-standard as to not support our ANSI/ISO compliant C++ code, then microsoft, like always, still sucks :) That's not the problem. WinCE, while based on Win2000's kernel, doesn't have all the Win32 API that Win9x and 2k have. The API is much smaller;

Why not add a simple edit function in Sword itself, with just some simple functions, like font-properties and text-references, something like E-Sword has. Are you offering to work on it? ;) We do have a commentary editor in the windows software, and I believe the linux apps have this feature, as
