PC based helper apps

[b***@cfl.rr.com]

I have developed two PC (Windows) based helper apps. I am at the stage where I could use some help in shaking them down. They are both located at my web site www.the-gordons.net. Follow the download link on the bottom of the home page and note the userid and password instructions.

The first app "File handler", provides via a telnet IP session, a graphical interface to the HD-1000 Linux system. You can do all of the common file operations in a graphical manner. In addition you can open and edit text files with something a lot more friendly than vi. It works on all the mounted HD-1000 volumes (flash0, flash1, flash2, flash3, flash4, and smb) a rudimentary manual is provided. It is available as a Zip archive of a complete setup and install package,. Written in VB6.

The second app "Art Pack Builder", allows you on a stand alone PC, (No network required) to dynamically build an art pack through a graphical interface. It constructs the collection in a standard Roku format, allows for selection of the icon, music, and pictures; has preview windows and filmstrip like editing (rudimentary). Stores the pictures in alphabetical order after renaming them so they show in the order desired. Makes building art packs a snap. Provided in the same format as the file handler.

I will field all questions at my emnail location ***@the-gordons.net, and provide help. All I ask for is feedback.

Barry - I started it up, put in the ip address and clicked connect and the
program crashed - runtime error 10022 'generic error for invalid form
entry'. I tried again, this time leaving the ip address invalid and it said
socket busy disconnect first, but there's no disconnect button.

Ah, 'domain' and 'host' two words that don't really sound like IP address
parts! You could say 'subnet' and host maybe but really, just having the
whole address in one box makes more sense. Once I changed it to your
recommendation, it came up immediately.

Thanks!

I just duplicated your problem by typing the full address in the domain IP
field. This field is combined with the host field to make the IP address
which is then improper. The domain text field needs the first three octets
and the host field needs the last one.

Thanks and let me know how you make out.

I agree with Jason, I was kinda confused at first and thought maybe he
meant this and put A.B.C in domain and D in host.

I also agree. I already changed it. The web site is updated. There is now
one field one ini entry. If you want I will send just the exe.
