RE: Call for standards: EPROM/cal editing software

["Warren Bowley" <gmecmml@cfl.rr.com>]

a standard definition file would be very nice, but there are several 
other points to look at:

a)	would the authors of current products on the market/ftp sites
	be willing to modify their programs to support the new 
	standards?

b)	from a programming language standpoint, what is the easiest
	and most efficient way of reading/writing the definition
	files.

in my case i'm more concerned with b) as i'm just starting to
write the program.  since i'm using vb6 i can use windoze built-in
standards to read .ini files which wouldn't support this format.
if i knew how to/were using c/c++/java, i'm sure it wouldn't
be much of a problem.  

now if one were to use a database of the end-users choice
with calls to and standard table structure things would
change a whole lot too.

To access the number of columns in the Idle Temp Correction table you would
use an XPath like this:
XPath("/image/IdleTempCorrect/columns/text()")

<image>
  image_size="0x1000"
  file_offset="0"
  checksum_addr="0"
  checksum_size="2"
  checksum_start="2"
  checksum_end="0xfff"
  <PromID
    type="1"
    address="0x02"
    name="Prom ID"
    data_width="2"
  />
