Oric computers, Oric Icons

Hi,

I'm currently developing a Windows application to manage Oric Disk
(.dsk) and Tape (.tap) files. The application is similar in look and
feel to Windows Explorer and will allow the use to view the contents of
disks and tapes.

One thing I need though are some icons in the Win XP style for Oric
Disks and Tapes as well as a good Atmos icon.

Does anyone know if any are available?

Are the ones that come with Euphoric free to use?

Cheers
Scott.

Hi,



Great! Just curious: what programming language are you using ?


I made the icons for Euphoric, with the major exception of the DSK and
TAP ones that were made, IIRC, by Peacer.
I have no problem you using the icons, as long as Fabrice (Euphoric's
author) agrees too (after all I made them for him). Fabrice?

I think Peacer still wanders around from time to time, hops he'll tell
you for the DSK and TAP icons.

Cheers
Simon

Hi Simon,

Thanks for the info, hopefully Fabrice and Peacer will stumble across this
message and let me know.

The utility is written in C++ using Windows MFC. Luckily that's what I use
at work, although I've still got alot to learn.

I actually started the project about 8 to 9 years ago on the Amiga but never
really got very far with it. I decided to have another go about 12 months
ago when I was given the opportunity to use MFC and C++ at work, made a nice
change to mainframe programming. So it's very much a learning experience
for me.

No problem, Scott, you don't need permission from me, these icons are Simon's
and Peacer's work...


I tried to write such a tool some time ago, maybe you could take advantage of
what I wrote ?
I wanted to have true "drag & drop" behavior, but never found the way to
implement this...

Cheers,

Fabrice

Hi Fabrice,

I've not put any "drag & drop" behavior in my program but it's
certainly something for me to think about.

I'm hoping to release a beta version round about the end of the month
so people can have a look at it and give me some feedback.

It'll be interesting to hear what people think about it.

Cheers,
Scott.

> Hi Fabrice,

Something I can think about, is the possibility to associate operations with
types of files. Like adding a "png" file to a DSK file could run a script
that would for example call PictConv to transform the picture in something
that can be displayed on the oric.

Received the following mail from Peacer.
