Re: Gnome::Glade::Xml::create_from_buffer question

[Bob Caryl <bob fis-cal com>]

Thanks Doug,

I used your perl script and it works.  It ends up producing an 
executable image on my machine a couple of K bytes larger than the one 
produced when using the file I create with my utility.  We both end up 
having a human readable string containing the xml for the UI in the 
executable image file.
