The SE4 companion - Why the long wait?.

[Ruatha]

I'll try to get into contact with the Admiral and see if he can tell me some useful info, otherwise I'l have to skip that part and let it use the mail functions instead.

So far I've worked most on the editor, right now it's better than the Last ver of the SE4 history editor, good.

If you want to crack passwords, you just have to write a program that loads the game with command line options... it will be a bit slow, but quite doable. I don't think this is much of an issue.

You mean brute force cracking? It would be too slow...

It doesn't take that long to launch SE4 using the command line options... and I did say it would be slow. You could always make the program launch several SE4s simultaneously to speed up the process...

Well, if it'd take 1 second to start SE, it would take over 1000 years to crack my SE passwords But as you said, it'd be slow.

The history event editor is finished, with new capabilities, amongst otehr autosorting, save to HTML, EXCEL and text files. Print function. Clipboard awareness. Search function...

Will fix the favorite and recent list now.
After that the autolaunch of SEIV and external applications.
Then Mail functions.
Then Archive functions.
If possible then the RTC functions.
Then fix all lose ends.
Add some bloatware and it will be finished.

I'll have to look up the PBW emergency server code tonight and see if it needs more work, that should halt development of this application.
I'll propably just let it be as the autorun functions aren't necessary and it was so loong ago I worked with it... will have to see if I can raise my interest for it.

Ack! No bloatware!
