See http://www.robobijal.org -- Manuel Valente - Software Manager - RIPE NCC "A designer knows he has achieved perfection not when there is nothing left to add, but when there is nothing left to take away."

MV> MV> See http://www.robobijal.org I'd given it a test trial ;-) Unfortunately, it's not quite useful at current state, at least for me: - many parameters which need to be configurable are hard-coded, and, which is the worst, in more than one place :( [maintainer name and tech-c is the first example ;->] - total style of CGIs are not of "good behaviour" from server-side (CGI.pm eith importing all methods, etc) - there's no easy way to change pages design - frame design is not text-browser friendly: I suppose it would be useful to produce both framed and unframe version. It is in my plans to dig into the sources and make some improvements; of course, in such event I definitely will contact Guy and other authors to make my changes public. However, currently I'm in hard lack-of-time situation :( Anyway, thanks to you and Guy to great start place. Keep up the good work ;-) Sincerely, D.Marck [DM5020, DM268-RIPE, DM3-RIPN] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ *** Dmitry Morozovsky --- D.Marck --- Wild Woozle --- marck at rinet.ru *** ------------------------------------------------------------------------ From manuel at ripe.net Wed Oct 10 10:31:22 2001 From: manuel at ripe.net (Manuel Valente) Date: Wed, 10 Oct 2001 10:31:22 +0200 Subject: Existing tool: Robobijal In-Reply-To: <20011009223937.I85883-100000@woozle.rinet.ru> References: <20011008154435.01a60203.manuel@ripe.net> <20011009223937.I85883-100000@woozle.rinet.ru> Message-ID: <20011010103122.55e5bc24.manuel@ripe.net> On Tue, 9 Oct 2001 22:46:13 +0400 (MSD) Dmitry Morozovsky wrote: Hi Dmitry, > It is in my plans to dig into the sources and make some improvements; of > course, in such event I definitely will contact Guy and other authors to > make my changes public.
