An application, Package-It was added. Could you please tell me what it is and provide me with a link to the documentation for the application?

thanks,

'Package-It' is compression or 'zip' (much like WinRAR or WinZIp) utility written by the makers of Strataframe and provided for use along with the framework. You can use it as a standalone utility or program it from within your code using built in procedures. I believe the biggest advantage is its use will be royalty free to your end users upon deployment. The Database Deployment Toolkit utility packages its metadata using Package-It.



I think thats most of it, if not one of the SF staff will be by soon to mop up

Keith is exactly right.  The package files that are created through the DDT can be viewed from within this EXE as well.  StrataFrame provides a compression class that can be used in place of a 3rd party tool.  This product is royalty free and you can use it to compress any classes in code.  The Package-It program just allows you to view the contents of the package files you create (or we create ) just like WinZip or WinRar.
