The ROSETTA source code is best viewed by setting the tab width to 2. Any other tab width than 2 will make the code much more difficult to read, since the indentation will be screwed up.

So how do you set the tab width? Here's how, for two popular editors:

Microsoft Visual C++ IDE
------------------------
Under the Tools->Options menu, select the Tabs tab and the C/C++ file type. Set both the tab and indent size to the value 2.... read more

Are you having problems compiling ROSETTA out-of-the-box under Linux or some other flavour of UNIX? Don't despair! The problem is almost surely related to STL and that your compiler for some reason has a problem with the STL version that accompanies the ROSETTA distribution. There's is a simple fix to this:

Use the STL that comes with your compiler instead of the STL that comes with ROSETTA.

The workaround is trivial: Just substitute kernel/system/stl with a symlink to whereever your compiler usually look for the STL headers. For example, let's assume that this is /usr/include/g++-2. Then, do the following:... read more

The GUI binary that accompanies the rosetta-1.0.1.zip file release has a bug in it:

rosetta/bin/win32/rosetta.zip

When you try to import a table, you'll get a "Failed to acquire selected import routine" error message. Sorry about that.

A patched version of the abovementioned file has been checked into the CVS repository:

Just released version 1.0.1 of the ROSETTA kernel. See release log for details.

I checked in some bug fixes yesterday, and also added a handful new files:

src/kernel/algorithms/xml*.{h,cpp}
src/kernel/utilities/xml*.{h,cpp}

The files enable various structures to be exported to XML format.

Enjoy!

In version 1.0 of the rosetta package, old and obsolete versions of the SystemKit::Encrypt and SystemKit::Decrypt methods somehow got included by mistake. These methods should return String and not bool. Updated versions can be found in the CVS repository.
