[REBOL] REBOL stand-alone applications? Re:
Hi, There's a possibility to append your script after the REBOL executable, at least Windows loader does not complain. But you must then run REBOL with a long command line from a shortcut, not just rebol.exe. First, make a directory, copy REBOL.exe, hide-script.r and the script you want to hide (I use a random example dancelady.r) to that directory. Then run hide-script.r - it will create a modified REBOL executable and print a command line - copy it and paste into some shortcut. You can then delete dancelady.r file from disk - modified REBOL will still run it. Scripts and example shortcut (renamed, because Netscape Messenger tries to follow it) are attached. Hope this helps, -- Michal Kracik [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I would like to be able to put together an client side standalone application that uses REBOL - but I do not want to require the user to download the REBOL and see the scripts that make up the application.

[REBOL] REBOL stand-alone applications? Re:
Hmm... Well, with /View, here is how you can make a "stand-alone" app for the BeOS... 1. give the script the #! /boot/home/config/bin/rebol shebang 2. make the script executable. 3. give the script a nice icon. 4. use PackageBuilder to have the following installed when the end user double-clicks on the .pkg file... executable script in /install_folder executable script in /boot/home/config/bin/ rebol in /boot/home/config/bin/ This installs the /View rebol binary alongside the executable rebol script in the bin/ directory. Now the script is executable from the commandline (just type the name of the script) or the script is executable like other applications in that you can double-click on its icon to launch it. I'm sure something similar can be accomplished on other platforms. Of course, it's not within the license to install /View for the end user. This is how it COULD be done. 8-) -Ryan I would like to be able to put together an client side standalone application that uses REBOL - but I do not want to require the user to download the REBOL and see the scripts that make up the application.

[REBOL] Re: New Amiga support? Re:
Hello [EMAIL PROTECTED]! On 03-Ago-00, you wrote: h The first experimental release of REBOL/Core for Tao h Elate/intent VP is now available for download. It should work h on any TAO Elate platform, but so far has only been tested h with the current Amiga SDK. Whether this current version will h also work with future SDKs or the new Amiga remains to be h seen, but we are hopeful :-) It seems to work quite well here. The console hangs when pressing the "Home" key (and other special keys too I assume), I'll check later if this is related to REBOL only. Some statistics: the VP code for REBOL is about 240k (the linux version is a bit smaller, about 230k); the translation to native code takes 0.63 seconds and produces a binary of about 350k (I don't recall the exact size...). It is a bit slower than the linux version: a script I wrote (Quine-McCluskey reduction algorithm, fed with 128 minterms) takes 129 s on Elate and 104 s on linux. So the translator seems to be fast but not really accurate. Regards, Gabriele. -- Gabriele Santilli [EMAIL PROTECTED] - Amigan - REBOL programmer Amiga Group Italia sez.

[REBOL] Bug in either clean-script.r or the parser.
I've been using clean-script heavily recently, and have now tripped over the
following problem.
clean-script mangles the attached script.
Specifically it creates an unmatched "(" for the following line. In other
tests it could be a new "[".
table-start: [text-line (emitter/start-table trim text) newline]
The thing is it handles earlier such lines correctly, which leads me to
think about the parser.
I've think I've narrowed it down to the script not "consuming" the first "["
for this line. Instead load/next gets and it will return a block value.
I tried removing some lines before this line and the error moved. Same for
when you add extra lines - BUT they have to be of the same type not just any
old line.
Any ideas?
Thanks.
Brett.

[REBOL] RE: proxy.r blues
Elan, I just found out that if I use Netscape instead of IE, I don't get missing Icons. So obviously Netscape and IE are doing something differently. Maybe Netscape fails like IE to get the icons, but is willing to try another fetch on a fresh connection for each before giving up or something, whereas IE just gives up and doesn't retry. Not sure... I would still think that we should be able to make a proxy server or webserver with Rebol that works with IE. Right now it doesn't work with IE4, and I now have several versions of proxy.r including one that I ran with no modifications by me that I got off rebol.org. I also received a newer version of proxy.r from Sterling, but it uses do %..\setnet.r and I don't have setnet.r anywhere, but looking at the rest of the code, it uses the same basic approach, so I assume it too would fail like a dog on IE4. I don't know if some older version of the rebol.exe would make the proxy.r work with IE4, but I suspect it wouldn't. I maybe able to still get my Load Testing project to work using Netscape, but I would like to investigate the cause and have it fixed!!! I think that maybe rebol is doing something with tcp in windows that IE4 doesn't like? Well, I don't know much low level tcp/ip at all. Any suggestions? I wish I had thought earlier to try Netscape! But I didn't want to believe it it could make any difference! By the way, I tried every alternative, with http1.1, without, http1.1 with/wo proxy, etc, under the proxy settings on the connection tab and on the advanced tab on the IE browser, and none of that seemed to help. Thanks as always!! -Galt p.s. Should this be considered a bug reportable event? = Original Message From Elan [EMAIL PROTECTED] = Hi Galt, I took a quick look at it. Using the following configuration: Win95 machine/133 MHz clone w/32 MB RAM, REBOL/Core 2.4.24.3.1 and the proxy.r script from: Date: 4-Aug-1999 IE 4.72 I visitend the following sites: www.excite.com www.altavista.com www.nonags.com/nonags/ www.winfiles.com www.hotfiles.com www.rebol.com www.rebolpress.com I ran into a problem at nonags with the ad, but I had the same problem earlier today with the same site and the ad, and no REBOL involved then, so I'm not sure REBOL is to blame. 1. What is your configuration? 2. Which sites give you headaches? 3. Does it depend on how long you run the script for? 4. If you hit the same site repeatedly, do you consistently not get the icons, none at all?, some missing? How many do you get, and how many are missing? 5. Does REBOL stop win an error when that happens, or does it continue to run? 6. If it continues to run, can you successfully visit other, bonafide non-problem sites? If you can answer these questions, and supply a list of problem sites, it will make it easier for me to duplicate the problem and hopefully find out why you're having trouble.
