> What is the benefit of parsing an event rather than handling them directly?
I need to be able to update a stack/card script in a standalone, and I cannot because of the limit imposed. The stack script contains (mostly) typical handlers (i.e. openStack, resumeStack, etc.) for handling messages that are sent to the stack. If I had a 'single' handler in the script that could handle 'all' stack messages, I 'might' be able to update the script because the size of the script would be greatly reduced. I really wish RunRev would allow 'some' things in a stand-alone for licensed users, or a special license for increasing the script limit 'just a litlle'. > You could, for example, have a frontScript Since I already have a few 'idle' handlers running, I really did not want to add another...especially one that parses 'everything'! Things are a little sluggish as it is... > That's an invalid address, requiring hand-editing. Odd. > Who's the list mom for this list? I am starting to feel like an 'abandoned child' on this list (or at least the uncle that everyone is ashamed to talk about)...also, (maybe it is just me though) any message I post to the 'RunRev' list does not go through. I can take a hint ;-) JR ----- Original Message ----- From: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, January 20, 2004 9:00 AM Subject: metacard Digest, Vol 4, Issue 18 > Send metacard mailing list submissions to > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit > http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/metacard > or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > You can reach the person managing the list at > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific > than "Re: Contents of metacard digest..." > > > This is the Metacard mailing list. > > Today's Topics: > > 1.
