Technology news and views http://www.iconbar.com/comments/rss/news1442.html Over the summer, ROOL quietly slipped out another update to their DDE toolset. We saw an update in April and the July release of DDEc is another incremental release. http://www.iconbar.com/comments/rss/news1441.html For this first article looking at how to create PackMan/RiscPkg packages, I've decided to use my SunEd program as a guinea pig.
