Here's the link: http://www.research.att.com/sw/tools/r++/ Quote R++ extends the C++ language with a single new programming construct -- the rule. In addition to data-members and member functions, R++ adds a new kind of member to C++ classes namely "member rules". A rule is a statement composed of a condition and an action that specifies what to do when the condition becomes true. Whenever some program data changes, rules whose conditions involve that data are examined, and if a rule's condition evaluates to true, its action is executed. The action may of course modify data and therefore trigger other rules. Currently R++ is implemented as a pre-processor. It translates R++ rules into C++ code. /Quote What would this look like in REBOL? Andrew Martin ICQ: 26227169 http://members.xoom.com/AndrewMartin/ --

[REBOL] job opportunity
A project I am involved with needs a cgi programmer. This would be work for hire under an NDA. You would be expected to write the majority of the application in Rebol/core. CGI using colocated apache server. Short term (2 weeks), high rate (fixed bid). The contract would have incentives to get done early. First version of UI is prototyped as web pages so the look and corresponding iteration/refinement are not going to hold the project up. If you are a frequent-poster to this list you will not need to spend time making up a resume or portfolio. Just contact me off-list if interested. Individuals or companies may apply. A second phase is already planned, so follow-on work is possible if you can keep up with the pace. I am not the buyer but I will assist in keeping the project doable/in-scope and be involved in the security checkpoints. ;# mailto: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
[REBOL] migration paths

Please do not tread there so fast. It is fine to be involved with /view so early but "my latest m (now) requires / with feature z" is a phrase that should make all kinds of red flags go up. you are forcing users of your high quality product to migrate when some of them cannot (yet). Forcing people to migrate is a tactic which only large monopolistic companies can afford because they don't care about customers and user-base. What you get when you don't have a monopoly is burned users, bad reputation and customers who simply drop the Rebol language. I would expect that this kind of non-portability/alienation is exactly the kind that rebol technologies is trying to avoid. A feature which is not available everywhere should not entice developers to limit the number of platforms that they offer the product on. If you have a product out (which is already compatible with the /core product) and you decide that with some feature only in /view (presently) you could make your own product sexier, cleaner, neater or more maintainable (all good reasons for rewriting code ), then you are, in effect, withdrawing support for the old product line. Ask yourself if you will be more respected for withdrawing such support. this withdrawal is especially hurtful if the new feature is only in a beta product which may not be deployable in a commercial context for some time due to beta licensing requirements. ;# mailto: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
[REBOL] Reading files from a web page requiring login/password submission
Hi all. I'm mostly a newbie as a REBOL programmer, but I have been actively following the threads in this forum. I spent roughly 2 hours yesterday reading REBOL/Core documentation and trying to build a script that would automate a cumbersome process we go through each week: downloading specific files from a web page whose file names are constructed to include a form of a date. I was *blown away* at how REBOL facilitated this; I now have a good glimpse of what you folks have been raving about. My question: for those web pages that I interface with manually that either have fields requiring a login and password submission (and maybe the click of a SUBMIT button as well) is there any way I can use REBOL/Core to authorize myself (satisfy login requirements) such that I can proceed to further pages of interest ? In most of these cases, direct ftp access is not enabled (otherwise I would employ ftp). I'm thinking I need to wait for /Command to do something of this type ? Thanks in advance for any help ...

[REBOL] Reading files from a web page requiring login/password submission Re:
Hi I'm not an expert but sometimes when I need rebol to post (Like a submit button) I use my browser first and see if the resulting url has the ? mark in it. I use a free web translation service that requires a button to be pressed. the below url will translate www.rebol.com into german. And when ever I need a url translated I change the url at the end. http://ets.freetranslation.com:5081/?Sequence=coreLanguage=English%2FGermanUrl=www.rebol.com This will also work for having penpals in different languages. You first save the email to a text and then add your current IP address so that http://www.freetranslation.com will request your file. It takes more than just that. You also have to write in your script to have rebol act as a simple web server. timmy [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi all.

And I've got witnesses ;-) I used GNU EMacs, but I don't remember the exact version. Somebody once said that the REBOL mode didn't do as much in GNU EMacs as in XEMacs (or whatever it was...), but that it did nothing at all (at least as far as I and a friend saw it) was a bit of a surprise. The one I have (which I got from one of the REBOL people, I assume it's the same one) at least takes care of intentation in a slightly annoying, but acceptable way. This requires that you actually invoke indentation, though. It would be nice to get some syntax highlighting too, but I haven't gotten that to work. However, I cannot rule out the possibility that there _was_ something changed in EMacs, I just didn't notice it.
