Ah yes, something like that may come in handy in the future.

I could not resist but write a reaction at Powerzone on the demise of PC Zone.

I guess it's just all the new manager source (functions, declares, consts) etc.

No need to rewrite it

Can you email me a complete, working test app Delphi source code that uses the manager functions? Along with all new .pas files (such as "common" etc). So I can read them and implement the same stuff in MexCom? For instance, the testplugin is not detected by the manager. But I need to see ...

Oh yes, that's why he's a three star Very Very Important Person (VVIP).
Also, he will be in the credits of the new version of MultiEx Commander. Don't worry, all will get what they deserve.

Hehe. Yes. I got an internal mail from IDG where they announced the death of PC Zone and Gamepro. Now some of them will continue working online for Gamez.nl. That's what they get if they make the mag a kiddies mag. Kiddies don't read paper, they read the internet. They should have made it a serious ...

He says he tried to dissassemble the format (to figure it out). He noticed the individual images in the SSH files were not saved in some logical order (or at least he could not find out how if there was some logic). He then apologizes for not being able to help. Also, the .SSH files can be anything,...

Ok, well, is it possible to attach zipped versions of them here? Or you can email them (see http://multiex.xentax.com )
Also, read the Request information in my signature

Thanks!

I'd like to collaborate on making a nice GUI for it. I'd also be happy to work with XeNTaX to incorporate it into their application. It uses the Shar...

Yes, well, if you open a .shh fiel in a hex editor you'll notice the SHPSP5 header. Shape. SHP

Have you checked these

SHP File format used by some programs for 3D modeling of multipart interactive triangle models
SHP 3D Studio (DOS) shapes file
SHP Bitmap Picture; PrintMaster Icon Library

The plan is to release MexCom 4.2 in august.

Well, all in all I haven't really gotten any further, what I don't always understand is where it gets pieces of text from when it needs it (fromalready decompressed stuff) as the method I think it uses is not always consistent with what I see. I will get back to it, but time is not on my hands.

You can if you mail to me (see http://multiex.xentax.com at the bottom) the details of your paypal account (mailaddress etc., not login information).

Hmm, I would like to add some docs with the next release on how people should write their plugins for the Manager. Not necessarily how the Manager talks to MexCom. So the plugin-->Manager bit.
