Potential upgrades to functionality

[trcmohitmandokhot]

I've been tinkering around the core of the library and realized that some of the header data functions were not implemented. In particular:

• DWGetHeaderEntryCount
• DWGetHeaderEntryList
• DWGetHeaderEntryText
• DWExportHeader

So, I created a fork and attempted implement the top 3 functions into wrapper.py. Would you be interested to look at that code?.
I have tested my implementation with 64bit install of Dewesoft 2024.1, but I am not sure what more to test/implement or if my style is okay.
Would you be open to merging my fork if things are in-line with how you imagine into your current repo. Thoughts?

Thanks, I will take a look during the wekeend...

It was difficult to find any time but I cloned your fork and had a look. I was thinking about that text_value_size=255 argument. Is there no way to get to know the size of the entry? Is this an extra (short) description one can write about the given channel? Maybe then it is unlikely that it would be more than 255 characters. How did you choose the number 255?

But then again, any caller can apply a bigger number if required...
