There are already existing mechanisms to draw upon for such logic...for example, the MIME stuff for mail and HTTP uses a "Content-Type" header to identify the data type. In some cases where the Content-Type isn't known, it is derived from the file's suffix and a lookup table. The Content-Type can then be used by some configuration mechanism on the client to decide what to do with the content. For example, if I'm sitting in a dumb tty and I view a "text/html" attachment with my mutt mail reading program, it finds this entry in a my local "mailcap" file:

text/html; lynx -dump -force_html %s | more; needsterminal

that tells it what command to use to view it. I expect that something conceptually similar could be used with Perforce. The only trick is that the lookup table would need to have per-system overrides (not just per-platform type or per-client workspace) because the utility programs could exist in different directories on the different systems (which could also have different sets of utilities installed).

Is anyone out there using these two tools together? The JBuilder project files are causing us a problem. They are ascii files, but they insert "relative numbers" when idenitifying elements of the project. This means a merge of the two is not as simple as mergining the text, but more of renumbering, and it's not just a sequential number problem. Has anyone solved this problem?

Hello All,

Has anyone installed Perforce on Solaris 8? The Perforce website states that the latest Solaris version it supports is 7. If you have installed it on 8, did you experience any problems?

Thank you,
