[Pythoncard-users] Tools (was: Re: State of PythonCard )

Since Alex mentioned it, I took another look at the tools directory (haven'=
t done that for a while).  Now things are really confusing.  We have a "cod=

 a "resourceEditor", a "textEditor", and a "standaloneBuilder".=0A=0AMay be=
 some of them are left-overs from previous versions?=0A=0A=0A =0A--=0AJohn =

I can vouch for standaloneBuilder, as that's one of my little babies! :-)

It's a tool to help with converting PythonCard apps into full-blown Windows 
executables - take a look in tools\standaloneBuilder\doc for details and 
screenshots.

I've just recently checked an updated version into CVS, and I'll be posting a 
snapshot of the code as it stands on my website here:

http://www.linux2000.com/pm.html

This page has screenshots which show how the user interface has been updated 
since the previous version.

Thanks for all the feedback - I think the main thing that it shows is that 
(like most software projects unfortunately) PythonCard really needs some long 
hard work on the documentation. Somehow it's always more fun to work on the 
code than the docs, though...
