The DBPF Viewer is a simple application to display the (programming related) resources of a DBPF (.package) file. It was written primarilary as a testing application for the DBPF Library, but also supports exporting resources as XML (either to the clipboard or to a file).
Before using DBPF Viewer it is necessary to tell it where to find the objects.pacakge file for the latest expansion you have installed. From the "File" menu, select "Configuration..." and either enter or browse to the install location (where the CSBin, TSBin and TSData sub-directories are located) - for UC this will end "Fun with Pets\SP9"
Yes, I know that's the configuaration dialog for BHAV Finder, but they're the same.
To open a package, from the File menu, select "Select Package..." (or type "Ctrl+O") and browse to find the required package file. If this file has been opened recently, it can quickly be re-opened from the "File", "Recent Packages..." sub-menu.
The supported resource types are BCON, BHAV, CTSS, GLOB, OBJD, OBJf, STR#, TPRP, TRCN, TTAB, TTAs and VERS. To limit which ones are displayed, use the Resources menu to turn them on or off.
The selected resources can be exported as XML either to the clipboard (File menu, Save XML To Clipboard - Ctrl+S) or to a file (File menu, Save XML As... - Ctrl+Alt+S)
