      From: thefadden@gmail.com              One of the less-obvious aspects of the CiderPress II project is the inclusion       of a significant amount of documentation. There's about 6500 lines of text       documents in Markdown format (~110 pages if you printed it at 60 lines/page).        While a lot of that        is documentation for the application and its source code, much of it describes       the formats of file archives, disk images, and file formats.              These started because, as I was writing the code to support the various       things, I wanted "cheat sheets" so I didn't have to go running back to Beneath       Apple ProDOS every time I needed to decipher a directory hex dump. Over time       I added notes on the ways        that "real world" files differ from the specification, as well as       clarifications on various aspects (e.g. I'm somewhat obsessed with figuring       out which character set to use).              In some cases these are very brief, in others (e.g. HFS) they go on at some       length. They generally start with references to "authoritative" documents       should you wish a more thorough explanation.              These files are scattered through the source tree, e.g. the ProDOS notes sit       next to the ProDOS implementation. This is inconvenient, so I threw together       an index here:               https://ciderpress2.com/doc-index.html              The page is just a collection of links to the documentation in the github       repository. github does a pretty good job of formatting Markdown. And if you       want to look at the associated code, you're already in the right place. :-)              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
