Short: V2.0 - Data2Catalog for Blitz Author: xn.baddolls@a2points.com (NUEL Xavier) Uploader: xn baddolls a2points com (NUEL Xavier) Type: dev/blitz Replaces: dev/basic/XDat2Cat.lha Architecture: m68k-amigaos Hi, This is a major update of XDat2Cat !!! XDat2Cat is a litle program for a quick creation of a catalog file for your own program in Blitz Basic... It only read a list of 'Data$' from a file, and decode it. See below for the data-file description. It can save it as a file.cd (catalog description) , as file.ct (catalog translation) and as file.catalog (the catalog itself). The .catalog file is created using CatComp. I think this programm is copyrighted to Commodore, and was made only for the devellopers... I don't know if I can do that, but I've join it with this archive... For the first step, you must doing a data-file of your localised strings. The format of this file is like this : Label Data$ "Localised text" ; "Texte localisé" Data$ "An other text" ; "Un autre texte" Data$ "Yes|No !!" ; "Oui|Non !!" OtherLabel Data$ "Again, some text" ; "Encore du texte" ... .. . -'Label' is a name for the type of strings. -'Localised text' is the english version of the catalog's string. It's the description's string for the file.cd. -'Texte localisé' is the translation's string for the file.ct. In the file.cd , this will create this strings : ; MSG_Label_1 (//) Localised text ; MSG_Label_2 (//) An other text ; ... .. . And in the file.ct : ; MSG_Label_1 Texte localisé ; MSG_Label_2 Un autre texte ; ... .. . When you've got this two file, you can create the file.catalog. I hope my english is not too bad ;-) ... Enjoy yourself whith this program, and ask me if you've got some problems with it.
