[Remedy] ARS Def Viewer

This program can be used to inspect AR System object definitions produced by ARSexporter. Enter the path to the definition files (write it directly in the text field, or use the button to open a dialog) and the XML files in the directory will be listed. If Include archived objects is checked, objects in the <path>_archive directory will be listed as well (this is the directory where ARSexporter copies modified/deleted objects).

The Filter field can be used to restrict the list of objects (press enter to apply the changes). Selecting one object from the list will display its contents, if two objects are selected the differences between the definition files are highlighted (lines present only in the first file are displayed in red, those present only in the second file in blue). Note that the output will be confusing if the definition files are very different, and that the process can be slow for big files.

In case msvcr80.dll is missing in your system, you can get it from microsoft.com.
