- In an email message, Steve Schow (sjs@netcom.com) asks me:
- ]
- ] Thanks for responding to our plea. What exactly is this resprint and
- ] resparse? Are these resource files you are talking about part of
- ] v4 or are you refering to the FRM files? Do these resprint and
- ] resparse utilities exist for v3?
-
- Sorry, should have been more explicit.
-
- Part of Toolkit 2 (the UI interface for the next generation of
- Oracle tools) is the Resource Manager ([tm]?), which is a mini-database.
- This is the new version of the Toolkit 1 (SQL*Forms 3.0) resource
- files--it's where the terminal definitions, for example, will be stored.
-
- resprint and resparse are utilities to convert between the text
- version and compressed version of the resource file (which, BTW, is
- something you can't do with the Toolkit 1 / SQL*Forms 3.0 resource
- files).
-
- If SQL*Forms 4.0 uses resource files for their forms (which, again,
- I don't know) you'll still be able to get text versions of the forms.
- And, even if it doesn't, there will probably still be some text version
- supported, just for maximum portability.
