Reality Check 0.6.9 is now available for download from http://
homepage.mac.com/drsteinman/

Its new features include:

Open source user interface controls are used, removing all
dependencies upon proprietary plug-ins. Anybody who uses REALbasic
2005 or higher should be able to edit and compile the program source
code. It's not quite as pretty as it was before, but it works.

Replacement of source code indentation code with code from Thomas,
Ed, and others.

Ability to open binary REALbasic projects via drag and drop, thanks
to Thomas. (I still need to track down a problem with Open menu-based
binary project access, although Open still works for XML project files)

Coming next:

A parser / syntax analyzer / symbol table. Wish me luck!!!

Scott,
I can't properly open the project because it's asking for a lot of
missing files, apparently graphics, such as "navopen", "book..." etc.

And did I really download a .sitx.zip.zip? :-D

(one of them is enough, really, just stay with zip, extracts on Mac and Win)

I'm then happy to look into the file opening issue you have there.

Hi Thomas-

Oops -- forgot to strip out the help system code again. That's what
needs those missing files. I'll fix that.

As for the extraneous zip compression, I'm not sure why that's
happening. I'm stuffing the file, then copying it to my iDisk. I
never request that the archive be zipped too. Maybe there's some
setting in Path finder that's causing the extra compression, or maybe
it's .Mac. I don't know. I'll try using zip instead and see if it
avoids an extraneous second zipping.
