To make registration of MCC's easy we use Rebol to automatically generate TUMULT. This means that to register a class (or several classes) you must create a file containing Rebol-blocks. This is very easy though as you can see in the following example.
For registering the classes TextEditor.mcc and HTMLView.mcc the following file could be created (named "Duff.tumult"):
[ Name: "TextEditor.mcc"
Author: "Allan Odgaard"
EMail: "[email protected]"
SupportURL: "http://www.diku.dk/students/duff/TextEditor/index.html"
FileURL: "http://sahl.mondo.dk/duff/MCC_TextEditor.LZX"
Price: "Requires a licence"
Status: "Registered"
Description: {
TextEditor.mcc is a fast multiline stringgadget. It can hold quite large texts
without noticeable slowdowns. It supports the clipboard, it can show text with
different styles, alignments and colors. It can hold separators, it has
multilevel undo/redo and it can easily be configured to use an external spell
checker for type'n'spell and word guessing.

[ Name: "HTMLview.mcc"
Author: "Allan Odgaard"
EMail: "[email protected]"
SupportURL: "http://www.diku.dk/students/duff/HTMLview/index.html"
FileURL: "http://sahl.mondo.dk/duff/MCC_HTMLview.LZX"
Price: "Requires a licence"
Status: "beta"
Description: {
HTMLview is a MUI class that will load, parse and display HTML formatted text.
The class supports most of the HTML 4.0 standard as defined by W3C, it is
infact often more accurate than most browsers.
It is very well suited for mail programs or similar, which just wants to
display HTML fast, and the class really is fast, I have still not seen
anything like it :-)

Blank lines and comments (lines beginning with ';') are allowed. Be aware that you can leave out any information you like (except the name). For your convenience a template has been supplied. You can either create one file for each class or have several blocks in one file. The choice is yours.
Supported keywords (so far) are: Name, Author, EMail, SupportURL, FileURL, Price, Status, DescriptionType, Description and UsedIn. DescriptionType can be "HTML" or "ASCII" - although "ASCII" is the default, so you actually don't need it. The keyword Status could e.g. be 'Registered', 'Beta', 'On hold' or even 'Dropped'. Price could e.g. be 'Shareware', 'Postcardware' or 'Free'.
When you have created your file or files then simply email them to [email protected] and within a few days the list should be updated. If you want to change anything on the list then you just have to email the updated files.
A quick search on Aminet revealed the following classes not registered at TUMULT. The authors have been contacted, but unfortunately they have not replied.
