[mkgmap-dev] problem with TYP-compilation

Tue Apr 23 18:21:43 BST 2013

Hi,

I'm the author of TYPViewer.

<<TYPViewer doesn't seem to like any comment lines except those it puts in
itself>>
No, this is not true,  but the semicolon introduces a comment only if it is
set at the beginning of the line.

In your example, there is a quote before the semicolon,so it is not 
considered  by TYPViewer as a comment.

TYPViewer works on binary typ files. When it opens a text typ file, the typ
file is immediately compiled in binaries and then it is translated in text
for displaying in the visualisation box. In this process, all the comments
are lost because, when compiling, TYPViewer ignores the commentary lines.

But AFAIK, there is no problem with TYPViewer and the semicolon.
