Hi
Interesting article - even though it takes a little work to read the code as Pascal :-)
Aaron's response was of great interest to me as I use WDSibyl http://wdsibyl.teamos2hamburg.de/ for the little application building that I do.
I used WDSibyl to create USBcfg http://hobbes.nmsu.edu/pub/os2/system/usbcfgb7a.zip - a little USB configuration utility that some people have found handy. I would like to make USBcfg multi-lingual but have not really looked into it very deeply so far. Guess that article plus Aaron's response gives me a starting place :-)
Also, Aaron provides a url for more details http://aaronlawrence.fastmail.fm/Design.txt in a following post which contains pearls of wisdom plus other bits of interest to (WD)Sibyl users - especially handling strings bigger than 255 chars. I'll have to bug Aaron and see if he has released his TAString class - and if he has plans on a TAStringList class.
Regards
Pete
