Nullthing .03 rc1 released!

[theboyjenkins]

its not quite finished now but i'm soo happy to tell you that its now reliable and renders html that i wanted to give you a preview, so here it is

ftp://195.110.88.57/nullthing03rc1_install.exe

whats new:

- now 100% reliable, i hope (if you have the older version you will need to run this version twice so it can sort its records out)
- renders html in the .plans with out downloading the winamp.com web pages
- tray icon and minimize to tray mode
- can check for updates automatically after a set time
- flashing tray icon or popup notification of updates (not done yet)
- new icons
- better status messages
- installer/uninstaller

i'll finish this build off in the next couple of days, as ever tell me what you think.

thx

how'd you pull that off?

[theboyjenkins]

put a internet control on the form instead of a text box then when the text comes in from the finger server it gets parsed and all the carriage returns (use the ascii code, chr(13) ) get replaced with html ( <br> )( any other characters html doesn't understand get done too) then add an html header to the top of the text save it in a temp file then tell the inet control to navigate to it. quite a simple theory but i ran into loads of little probs doing it.

thx
