In my vision of this implementation, the resource string is visible and can be modified as well by the end user as they so need. The major difference here is, when a us...

The ShellExecute() API would work very well here under Windows as one could exploit file associations. Hi Michael, it's an interesting idea I'll have to give some more thought to. The major problem with this of course, is one of security. If PDN files had this kind of power, it opens them up to abu...

I hope PDN2 will be adopted. The specification I wrote was with input from all the major checkers programmers so it is what everyone wanted. The problem with PDN1 was that it was so loosely defined that it caused problems with interoperability between different programs. PDN2 tries to correct that. ...
