Viewing eCdoc files

Greetings,

How can I go about viewing eCdoc files without using any Ecere tools?

BTW, I've got Cocoa windows popping up. I'm (re)implementing the OpenGL driver, I'm hoping to use the docs to better understand the purpose of some APIs.

"Reimplementing" the OpenGL Driver?

Why does it need to be reimplemented?

The docs are quite lacking, so don't get too much hope there.

Cocoa windows popping up -- nice

Viewing eCdoc files without using any Ecere tools - hmm.
They are essentially 'ear' archives, so you could always extract their contents (inside a new folder) with 'ear x ecere.eCdoc' . You'll get a whole bunch of folders with text files inside.
Documentor won't run at all for you?

Cheers,

Jerome

As I said, (re)implementing

. I copied the OpenGLDisplayDriver and ripped out most of the platform-specific code, and I'm rebuilding it from the ground. I'm finding it easier than trying to integrate the Mac code with the existing X11 and Win32 code.

I can 'start' the IDE, and two windows pop up with the right titles, but fails to render. Hence, I'm focusing my efforts on getting the CocoaOpenGLDisplayDriver up and running.

Thanks. I'll try that.
