Technical Issues
- Language
- It is written in Perl, and real Perl hackers
will undoubtedly find it derisory. Sorry, but once a C hacker, always
a C hacker.
- Language
- Perl 5.6 which is what innotts uses is Unicode
compliant. As a consequence the software should be able to
handle any Unicode character set and font. One day perhaps
I'll do a multi-lingual version.
- Database
- It doesn't use a database, but ordinary flat
files. This will only be a problem if a tree gets very big,
or there is a lot of them and someone does a search over all
the trees. The advantage is that flat files are universal,
I think even MS systems can handle them
- Client
- Uses some Javascript, no Java. Uses fairly
simple HTML because it is simpler and quick on download.
To Do
In no particular order:-
- Multi-lingual
- If called for
- Database
- If anyone uses it
- Host-host connection
- Big job, definitely only if called for.
- Personal config options
- Link modification
