Max Accepted Bid: Bidding is closed Project Type: Small Business Project: $100 (USD) + Bidding Type: Open Auction Categories: Language Specific, C++ / C, Delphi Enter chat room for this bid request (0 active users at Sep 6, 2003 4:07:37 AM EDT) Description: ------------------------------ All bids that say, "We are a group programmers that can handle your project.. blah.. blah.." and don't show that you have read the attached file will be removed from consideration. ------------------------------ This project is for a "plug-in" to be used in conjunction with the software known as NeoBook. http://www.neosoftware.com/nbw.html VC++/Delphi plug-in developer SDK is attached to this auction. You will need the trial version of NeoBook that can be used for testing your plug-in: http://www.neosoftware.com/software/nbw40.zip The plug-in will open any file type (usually an .exe) file and perform the following: 1. Basic Replace. This looks for a specific string and replaces it. Options: (a) Replace all occurrences. (b) Replace one occurrence. Occurrence number _x_. 2. Advanced Replace. This looks for a marker and replaces the string with another. Example: %%01%%This string will be replaced.%%01%% The markers are given a number to identify them specifically. The plug-in would be told to find %%01%% and replace the content (between the beginning and ending marker) with the new string. The "Advanced Replace" plug-in would also be able to display what is being stored in the specific marker number. (Stored into a variable.) Example: Looking up marker number 05 would store the content of %%05%% into NeoBook variable [marker05], etc. Both replace types can work with a queue sent to either replace function and will allow the plug-in to update NeoBook through a variable where it is in the queue. (Example: Replacing 2 of 6) ALso, when performing any replace there will be an animation (such as the hourglass the rotates) to show that the plug-in is still working and the computer has not locked up. *** This project is based around what can be done here: http://www.banneradmagic.com/howtobrand.htm Attached to this auction is the C++ SDK information as well as the Delphi SDK. There also is an incomplete version of the plug-in created with Delphi, so the work is almost done already. Feel free to ask questions and I'm open to ideas on how to better accomplish the final objectives. ** Not a difficult plug-in, please create a clean/logical interface. ** A demonstration that you understand how to work with NeoBook is required. I will need to see a sample of your plug-in work, since other programmers have said they can do it and have failed to "figure it out". Deliverables: Complete and fully-functional working program(s) in executable form as well as complete "thoroughly documented" source code of all work done. Complete copyrights to all work purchased. Platform: Must work with NeoBook Version 4.0.9 (current version) or greater. Must be 100% finished and received by buyer on: May 8, 2002 EDT Deadline legal notes: All times are expressed in the time zone of the site EDT (UT - 5). If the buyer omitted a time, then the deadline is 11:59:59 PM EDT on the indicated date. Special Conditions / Other: I want to test the plug-in as the the project is worked on. I want to make sure it functions as I want it to and the interface is clear and nice looking. Additional Files: This bid request includes IMPORTANT additional attached files.

I'm mostly a Delphi programmer, so it's my job ;)           See 52 private reply(ies) to/from pibe81.
