- I have successfully written a few XCMDs under HC 1.2.5 and I am now trying
- a new project that involves writing an XCMD under 2.x. I want to write an
- XCMD that interprets a styled text field and returns the offsets in the field
- of each change in font, size, or style. Yes, I know this can be done in a
- script but this process is ludicrously slow. My questions are the following:
-
- (1) Could someone please mail me an new ".h" file for the glue
- routines for HC2.x, preferably one that has brief interface
- descriptions for the new calls and object types. If this is
- available from some well-known place on the internet, a pointer
- to it will suffice.
-
- (2) Could someone please mail me a description of the data struct for
- a styled text object?
-
- (3) If there already exists an XCMD/XFCN that does something like
- this, a pointer to that would be nice.

- Muchas Gracias in Advance,
