It's Apple's command line interface to packagemaker. It's probably better (and easier) for you to write scripts to interface with that than to try to match our .psmp format. Our package file format is not public (and therefore is subject to change), while our command line interface is public and will remain backwards compatible. I am trying to generate PMSP files. For example, I want to automate the process of creating releases without somebody having to run the GUI. I am trying to read and write the PMSP file produced by PackageMaker. Looking into it, you can see it is a binary file and somewhere close to the beginning is a string: typedstream. I found some information about typedstream, but the most promising is the code in GNU Objective C. That said, before I go and rip a bunch of code out of gcc, is there any simple explanation on the PMSP file format? I figured out all strings have length prepended, but there is much more that is changing. Also, (question for the apple guys) is there a problem with reverse engineering pmsp file? Will it change anytime soon? Andy _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list. They will be ignored.
