Update!

I have so far:

1) created the GUI.
2) Provided an output window which lists all the found DP`s automatically, along with filesizes and versions.

To Do:

A)Hook up the compressor and get it to scan for *.inf`s for output to another column in the output window with   totals for each pack

(This seems like a good idea to me at the moment so we can verify the output file totals to the originals for errors, but if you think it is superfluous tell me and I`ll drop it ok)

B) Extract the VID`s etc from the packs and complie into index

C) Get the transforms code from bashrat and hook that in

D)  Redirect the paths in the index to the CD ready for burning

At this stage I plan to test it for conformity and then release it for beta testing (after testing it myself of course)

While that is going on I am planning further sprucing it up by working on the following (among other things):

E) Integrate the update feature into the GUI

F) Tightening up the code

G) Maybe providing an output window as mentioned earlier (vendor, model, version etc) If people want such a thing

BTW The AI help file I printed out was nearly 800 pages! YAY - good job I`m a bookworm

There goes another 6m leptons! (he he)

Overflow. If you would care to be a bit more specific with your ini pack query, I may be able to work on it ok

Bashrat, I cannot find an your email address, can you please email the transforms code to me at les95@hotmail.com (you may have done this already but I can`t see it amongst my mail)

Thank you

I have read the manual for Autoit and the UDF file and have started building the GUI.

A DP update/comparision function will be builtin along with a download function

apart form the obvious is there any function anyone would like to see on this GUI?

for example output options for various file formats (.xls?)

I am thinking about providing a tabbed area in the GUI for output results for the different packs to provide info such as Vendor, model, version, release date, OS etc along with a save function for each/all etc. Would this be worth providing?

I Am Aware that I would have to write a program to do this but i think such a task is within my capabilities as I am experienced at programing and consider that there is no point burning leptons (and one would have to burn many when it comes to the logic of programing) only to end up with someting that is already availabe on the net, has a confined market or is useless.

I may not have done much programing latlely but logic is logic and never changes - Hey, it`s logical!

This is idea is just up my street! I will start working on it yesterday! (he he)

Only thing that remains to decide is which PL do I use? any suggestions anyone?
