2004 & Fewlvar.arx

[Dan Allen]

I'm looking into our upgrade from 2002 to 2004 and I've been using Frank Whaley's fewlvar.arx to store registry variables alternately in the drawing/Current Profile/or Fixed Profile. It seems that Frank has taken his routines off his page http://home.pacbell.net/fewhaley/ and no update for 2004 can be found. Since the arx won't work in 2002, I'll need to revise the code or develop my own.

Does anyone know of any updates for his routines?

Thanks,

Dan

Just create and add your own dictionary or group

Adds a nongraphical object to the specified dictionary

(dictadd ename symbol newobj)

Adds the object newobj to the dictionary ename. The symbol argument is the key name of the object to be added to the dictionary; symbol must be a unique name that does not already exist in the dictionary. The object specified by newobj corresponds only to a nongraphical object. As a general rule, each object added to a dictionary must be unique to that dictionary. This is specifically a problem when adding group objects to the group dictionary. Adding the same group object using different key names results in duplicate group names which can send the dictnext function into an infinite loop.
