First publication of 'Cross-platform Web'

I have finally published the contents of guncoder, and some other tools.
The most basic and stable library is one of the key components of these tools: it is called gobj.
It runs both on Windows (easily with Bloodshed Dev-C++), and most Linux distros.

See here an example of usage of the three current tools included in this source package.













Refer to the original article, quoted below.




First publication of Cross-platform Web: multi-platform tools and libs.

Sourceforge main page: https://sourceforge.net/projects/libunicode-plus/

Quoting the first README...

xpfweb
++++++
Welcome to series 2 of 'Cross-platform Web'.
The source package is named 'xpfweb-v2.N', where N is initially 8;
the compiled binaries prepared are in another repository, named xpfweb_p2x.

The license is LGPL.

Repository original path:
xpfweb_v2x/xpfweb-v2.8


Tools
+++++
The following tools are available (by order of package inclusion):
netinfo A basic web snarfing program:
fetches HTTP pages and provides basic name resolution.

unweb Checks and strips HTML pages.

uncoder Creates and dumps THB Unicode tables.

All tool names are prefixed with a letter 'g', and lower-case by default:
* gnetinfo
* gunweb
* guncoder


Tested OSes
+++++++++++
The following OSes (Operating Systems, and distros) were tested thoroughly:
* RedHat 7.2
* RedHat 9.0
* Zipslack (libc 2.0.7)
* Debian Woody / Sarge
and also Windows (XP / 2000):
* refer to Bloodshed Dev-C++ project files ('*.dev')

Exceptions:
* uncoder was not yet tested for windows


Installation
++++++++++++
Installation of main sources:
cd xpfweb_v2x/xpfweb-v2.8
make
All libs and sources adjust the distro specific env; there is no
'configuration' script.

Creation of binaries and libs:
make target
Two directories will contain the targets: bin/ and .lib/

The main makefile does not make automatic installation.
Default directory for Unicode THB tables is:
Unix/Linux:
* /usr/share/unicodeplus
Windows:
* %CommonProgramFiles%\unicodeplus
Note: Windows variable %CommonProgramFiles% is usually set to
* %SystemDrive%\Program Files\Common Files


Enjoy xpfweb_v2x series!
