Spellguard - French & German dictionaries on Hobbes

Hi:

I have just found French & German dictionaries for Spellguard on one of my old archive CD's and have uploaded them to Hobbes. These dictionaries were made by some good soul years ago; I have used the German dictionary with good results but never the French. The readme together with the archive mentions the "combine" program that can be used to make a combined EN-DE dictionary, but this I haven't been able to find. I suspect that a similar effect could be had with copy /b but I haven't yet tried that.

You can currently find the dictionaries here:

Warpdoctor plug-in and status

The Rexx Plug-in now released as version 1.00. It is packaged as a WarpIN install.

The documentation has been completed. There is now a user guide, programmer's guide and programming reference.
The plug-in and documentation can be found at http://www.warpdoctor.org/plugin_page.html

Any questions, comments or bugs reports can be directed to me.

We are intending to use the Rexx Plug-in to solicit the input and perform the transfers and CGI program execution as needed.

All information, menus and screens/pages in the WarpDoctor site will come from data stored in the DB2 database and streamed to the browser using CGI programs. The data will be stored in the database in compressed format (gzip) and streamed to the browser as is, identified as Encoding: gzip. For those few users (and you know who you are) using older browsers not capable of handling compressed data streams the CGI program will decompress the data before streaming to the browser.

Where we are at:
----------------

Having researched some EPM/HTML packages I have not found one that both looks promising and works. (I have some that looked good, and some that worked, but not at the same time)

Therefore the final steps are:

1) Write Rexx program for the plug-in that
a) for new data gets a unique identifier from the database
b) for changing existing data - downloads data to client
c) executes EPM with our macro and the input or change file

2) Write some Rexx macros for EPM. The macros will
a) add menu items (and hopefully toolbar buttons) for
- view the HTML file
- opens/updates a browser window with file contents
- save file to database. This will
- scan the file file img src=... tags
change the src value to a database query token
gather local image files into a list
- send HTML file and image files to server
- invoke CGI program on server to import data

3) Write the DB2 triggers and table definitions that insure that the image rows associated with an HTML row are deleted when the HTML row is deleted.

4) Write a small DB2 CLP program that crams the data from the files into DB2 table(s)

The end is in sight.
