UTILITY Improvements

Hi Guys, This XML idea is great...I could make a webpage and application ( hosted on my server (or Elecraft's)) where you could go to a webpage, upload your config, mess about with it and download it, then, instead of having loads of programs all over the world - possibly needing updates, if the format or tagging changed, then we can just change one option - (select firmware revision) and automatically implement new features in the XML.... the idea of being able to edit the memories is really cool and quite easy to achieve... Perhaps Simon also has some ideas... If we can develop a spec for the interchange format - I could write some code for this type of tool quite easily, - when you down,load the file, you could select either XML or CSV - no probs. XML is just a tagging method - so you can easily find,change and insert data into a structure...it is not black magic. Professionally, I develop applications for creating and manipulating XML and CSV data... but I prefer to have an online version of the file editor - it is much easier to handle updates and changes, than in a distributed system....

When the memory channel CAT is defined I'll add this and other new features
to HRD. I agree 100% that XML is the way to go, would be great for interchange. As soon as Wayne specs the CAT let's define the XML. I'm using XML exclusively in my new software and will convert HRD over to XML when I next attack the innards.

Exactly. You have my vote. XML (data) should be totally transparent to the end user. Hosting a simple editer makes life easy for everyone and as you said, no program need be distributed. All data is stored locally on the client's computer.

And David's software could run on laptops etc.
