PoorMan Settings

1

I’ve been recreating PoorMan for the past couple of months. Is there any particular way to read and write the settings file. I was hoping to make the BeOS and Haiku settings compatible or interchangeable.

the BeOS setting file is located at: /boot/home/config/settings/PoorMan Settings

Thanks

Without seeing the file (I’m in Windows), I’d guess its flattened BMessages -you can use the “unflatten” tool in the tree to see what the original messages were, I believe.

sl9c5, yeh it’s most likely flatten bmessages.

Without knowing the format it is difficult to work it out. If you can’t read from existing settings, that’s fine - create your own. ie. the main thing is, as long as it works with the Haiku Poorman and not a BeOS R5 one.

that is exactly what it is saved in.

What is left to complete, is the network code.
