If I do the following:

lrf2lrs -o myfile2.lrs myfile1.lrf
lrs2lrf -o myfile3.lrf myfile2.lrs

then myfile3.lrf no longer has the header (that appears at the top of each screen) that was in the original file. So if I then do

lrf2lrs -o myfile4.lrs myfile3.lrf

when I look in myfile4.lrs the //BBeBXylog/Objects element is empty, whereas myfile2.lrs had //BBeBXylog/Objects/Header and //BBeBXylog/Objects/TextBlock elements.

Is lrs2lrf applying some formatting to the LRS and if so, how do I control it?

:chinscratch:

lrs2lrf isn't quite feature complete. There are a few outstanding bugs in it that I haven't had the time to address. It's a low priority for me, since I never use it. Patches welcome :)

OK, I'm going through the process of setting up the dev environment, but MinGW doesn't want to download; I'll try again tonight.

I still can't download MinGW. I assume this is for the C/C++ code. Can I use Visual Studio 2005/2008 instead (I have both)?

I don't know, I've never used Visual Studio.

The quickest way to get mingw is to download devc++ ide which includes it.

Thanks guys - I managed to eventually download MinGW - I had to keep retrying in the download manager and it eventually got everything.
