RSS-1.0 generator for Radio8

["Bill Kearney" <wkearney99@hotmail.com>]

Hi all,

I'd post this to a Radio specific forum but, well, you know the hassles there.

All this talk about new formats for Radio made me wonder what it would take for
Radio8 to properly support RSS-1.0.

So I wrote a tool for Radio that does just that.
http://www.ideaspace.net/users/wkearney/misc/radio/radio8/rdf_0.1.zip

Unzip is and put it in the Tools folder of your Radio install.

What it will do is tag along behind the existing RSS file writing routines and
create the same output in RSS-1.0 format.  It simply takes the existing RSS-0.92
format filename and tacks an ".rdf" onto the end of it.  All of Radio's normal
upstreaming methods can take over from there.

It makes no modifications to any of Radio's existing file writing or other
features.  It's got no read UI.  It can be enabled/disabled using the Radio8
tools menu.  Uninstalling it is as simple as removing the rdf.root file from
your Tools directory.

So for anyone using Radio that would like to use a standards-support format,
this might be worth giving a try.

This is free of charge, I retain no copyright to it's code.  I wouldn't mind a
mention if you decide to build on it.

If it doesn't work or is missing something please let me know and I'll fix it.
