CCres

What is CCres ?

CCres converts RISC OS Toolbox Resource (filetype &FAE) and Wimp Template files (filetype &FEC) to and from text format acting as a compile and decompiler for those formats. The text format uses a simple C-like layout based on the equivalent OSLib header definitions.

There is a command line CCres version as well a regular Wimp based application using drag'n'drop. Here are just a few possible uses:-

• Gadget/Icon renumbering
• Add or review interactive help
• Simplifies language translation
• File compare of text format Resource and Template files gives useful output !
• Textual version can be stored in in source control systems like CVS or Subversion for easy diff'ing and binary version can be compiled during product building.

Author
