Odds and Ends

scm_freopen() , scm_fopen() & scm_open()

The wrapper is to aid use in an environment which utilises revision, software configuration management tools such as SCCS or RCS.

(Or indeed bitkeeper which is why I wrote it).

The wrapped versions, basically do what you would expect but will check out the files from your SCCS/RCS reposority (if necessary) first.

I'd like thank the FSF and those reponsible for the support in patch which donated all the important code

Binutils patch ...or finding resource dependencies.

This patch adds an output format called 'dep' to the binutils windres utilities which compiles windows resource files.

This file though can refer to other files , usually .ico ow .cur files for embedding in the final object file. The patch chnages the behaviour of windres to list these files.

The rationale behind this patch is so the the dependencies of a resource object can be included in a make file. I use this for instance so that I can keep my icon files as xpm rather than .ico formats and trasnlate them on under the command of make, which is useful in cross-platform build envoironments.

Remote Desktop (Rdesktop) re-structure plans.

Rdesktop has bug which I believe comes from a weakness in the internal design. This page documents my proposal to fix it.
