Vic, I've got it to load and save standard Preferences files, (i.e.
devs:system-configuration) by just reading and writing the file from/to a
Prefrences structure. Very easy! Also makes it possible to use the files
directly through a program like setprefs. I am using ARP, so command
parsing is absolutely no problem. It saved me a lot of work in writing a
parser myself. But this means that anyone using the program must have the
ARP.library in his/her libs: directory. (You can't have you cake and eat
it, too! (grin)).
Anyway, I've just got to make sure that the program is behaving itself
properly, (no unlocked locks or unfreed memory) before I write the docs and
upload it. It is quite large though (about 10K) because it has to deal
with every possible printer setting. Khalid.
