[REBOL] Re: Rebol 2.5 unstable ?
laplace, Maybe you could try adding the lines: echo %trace.txt trace on to your script. When it locks up, you can look and see what was happening when the script locked up.

[REBOL] Re: Core 2.5 file security control in CGI mode
kenlo,
I did the following test from RedHat Linux 7.0 and it worked fine:
./rebol -cs --do "write %test.r {test}"
I was not prompted to lower the security and the file was written
correctly.
Try the above on your version and let us know:
1) Did it work?
2) The full version number of your release (i.e. 2.5.0.3.1).
You said the switch was OK in commandline mode. Does this mean that
the problem only exists when launching it from a script? If so, could
you provide a short example of a script that doesn't work? What
webserver are you using? Give us whatever information you think we
would need to recreate the problem here.
Thanks!

David, With View/Pro, you should be able to call out to ActiveX using the shared library feature.

What is the big deal about wrapping REBOL inside an ActiveX component? AFAIK its a pretty non-intrusive procedure? What about calling out to ActiveX since REBOL already loads dynamic libraries. Regarding Java -- many people still think of it as a programming language, but in many contexts it is the "operating system" for modern business applications -- the Application Server.

If you use the skip option when reading from an http server (like read/skip

Adding this to the start of the success block of code in the http scheme fixes
that -

[REBOL] Re: View on 060 Amiga?
Dick, The problem may be that View is trying to open a window larger than your available screen size. One thing to try is to make your screen perhaps 1024x768 or put the following in your user.r file: start-view?: off If View still crashes after the above is in your user.r file, then we will have to do some more searching. If not, then the likely problem is something to do with the initial window that is trying to be opened. Here is some more info for Amiga users I've posted before. Some of it may be a little out of date, but overall should be helpful. REBOL/View for Amiga has a few options not available on other systems due to the unique nature of the OS. REBOL/View can be opened on a public screen. In your user.r, change the following line: system/view/screen-face/options: [] to something like this: system/view/screen-face/options: [ exclusive-colors dither monochrome ] Exclusive-colors will open an ASL screenmode requester on systems which support it (3.0 and higher). If exclusive-colors is specified and the system doesn't support the ASL screenmode requester, the screenmode can be set explicitly with the following line: screen-mode: "NTSC:Hires" This should be placed directly after EXCLUSIVE-COLORS in the user.r file. Note that the text following SCREEN-MODE must be the exact text found in the screenmode requester brought up by the system's SCREENMODE Prefs program. Additionally, the following should be available now or at some point in the future: screen-name: "My REBOL screen" screen-size: 800x600 The REBOL/View console will be brought up on the regular Workbench screen but the REBOL/View graphical windows will be brought up on the selected screen. The selected screen will stay open until the REBOL/View console is exited. To improve color quality on low-color modes, DITHER can be specified to allow dithering of the available colors to more closely approximate the true colors requested by the REBOL/View script. Sometimes, a grayscale representation is the desired choice for low-color modes in which case MONOCHROME can be specified. The built-in DEMO requires a screenmode of approximately 660x420, plus the amount of offset from the upper left corner of the screen. For users using NTSC or PAL monitors, it is advisable to select a screenmode and manually change the size to 800x600 or greater to account for this. If opening the REBOL window on a Workbench screen, the AUTOSCROLL option in the SCREENMODE Prefs is a good choice to allow viewing the entire demo. If an attempt is made to open the demo on a screen which is too small, REBOL currently may cause the machine to lock up or reboot. This issue is being addressed. The DEMO currently requires at least 7MB or more to run on some Amiga system set-ups. All efforts to reduce the memory footprint are being made for future versions. To turn off the demo, enter the following line in your user.r: start-view?: off You may also wish to add the following line to your user.r file if you intend to open REBOL/View windows on the Workbench screen: system/view/screen-face/size: 800x600 where 800x600 is the resolution of your Workbench screen (modify for your particular resolution). This will help keep the LAYOUT command from improperly determining what size to build a dynamic display. This often leads to improper layout of text in tall vertical columns instead of the normal horizontal layout. In order to use the BROWSE command on the Amiga version of View, the OpenURL library must be installed on your system. OpenURL is a part of OS3.5. Older versions of AmigaOS can download OpenURL from Aminet. -Bo On 19-Feb-2001/11:15:35-8:00, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi all, I just recently started playing with Rebol again after a looonnng hiatus.

Sharriff,
I'm not sure what webservers expect as a header when a browser requests to
do an HTTP upload. But once you find this out, it should be possible to
do an HTTP upload with REBOL.

In your example, REBOL just sends the text lb%testfile.txtrb to the
webserver. The webserver most likely discards it because it isn't
formed with a proper HTTP header.

[REBOL] Re: Font compatibility across platforms.
Michal, Actually, I've seen some very good scaling on a single-sized font typeface even to low resolutions using an interpolated algorithm (basically it does anti-aliasing). TV Paint on Amiga does this with bitmapped fonts and as long as the font is scaled smaller than the original, the results are quite good. Results are similar with outline fonts. We're agreed that monochrome scaling lacks when going to much smaller sizes, though. -Bo On 8-Nov-2000/22:13:47, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi Bo, I'm afraid fonts are not that simple. They are designed for specific sizes so thay can't be freely scaled to any size and still look good, only in some range around their designed sizes. Fonts contain so-called hints to help them scale to low resolutions, but for very low resolutions used on screen TrueType fonts contain hand-edited bitmap substitutions. Styles like bold and italic of the same font are designed separately, and making them algorithmically does not produce good results. But I agree that one sans-serif, serif and fixed-width font would be sufficient. I remember that Martin Huttenloher once designed very nice fonts for MagicWB on the Amiga. Perhaps they could be used in REBOL? -- S pozdravem Michal Kracik -- Bohdan "Bo" Lechnowsky REBOL Adventure Guide REBOL Technologies 707-467-8000 (http://www.rebol.com) The Official Source for REBOL Books (http://www.REBOLpress.com) -- To unsubscribe from this list, please send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe" in the subject, without the quotes.

[REBOL] Re: Web Site Hosting Services
Jamey, Here is some info I gleaned from the mailing list a while back: = REBOL-friendly CGI hosting provider: http://www.happysite.net/ = I have found the kind of service you want in two different places. The first is a free public access ISP called NYX. NYX is a non-profit which provide internet and UNIX access free of charge. They are supported by donations, so if you feel guilty, you can make a periodic donation. They provide complete UNIX shell access and you can write CGI scripts and C programs to your hearts content. They do provide some web hosting services, but it is not the kind of place you want to use for a commercial site. It is however, a great place to experiement with scripts and programs etc. The web address is: http://www.nyx.net The second kind of place is a full service web hosting company. These companies typically don't provide dialup service, so you have to telnet or ftp in from another service. The one I am using is called Interactive Online. They provide everything you need including your own CGI directory, annonymous FTP directory and access to the log files. They also have a complete library of CGI scripts and of course you can write your own. The web address is: http://www.interactiveonline.net . = PortONE.com offers such services (as well as just about everything else). They host REBOL/CGI for me. Email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] if you'd like to discuss it more. = My host is very CGI and developer friendly, inexpensive and responsive. The machines are located near Chicago Nap, MAE East and MAE West. http://www.clss.com/hostdetails.htm You could contact them directly, or I could help get you set up as a reseller. It runs about $35/month, unlimited traffic, et cetera. I also think we could run REBOL scripts from some of the free servers, like Tripod. Anyone tried this yet? I just need to write a quick script to test what platform my test account is on (wxxi_org.tripod.com). For the least cost, sometimes a dial-up ISP will give you some free Web space, complete with a CGI-BIN. (For REBOL, all you need is an executable directory and FTP, and you're in business.) You could then use a forwarding service like NameSecure.com (about $35/year ) to keep your top-level domain in use. = Of course, if anybody knows of any other REBOL hosting providers (especially free ones), please send the info to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Thanks! -Bo On 2-Nov-2000/12:13:25-5:00, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Does anyone know of hosting services that support Rebol? -- Jamey Cribbs Sr. Technical Consultant -- To unsubscribe from this list, please send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe" in the subject, without the quotes. -- Bohdan "Bo" Lechnowsky REBOL Adventure Guide REBOL Technologies 707-467-8000 (http://www.rebol.com) The Official Source for REBOL Books (http://www.REBOLpress.com) -- To unsubscribe from this list, please send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe" in the subject, without the quotes.
[REBOL] Re: view on amiga
kolla, I don't know why View would have crashed on you. Does it do it every time you run it? Also, here is some information specific to Amiga View users. Check the very end for information related to your text layout problem. REBOL/View for Amiga has a few options not available on other systems due to the unique nature of the OS. REBOL/View can be opened on a public screen. In your user.r, change the following line: system/view/screen-face/options: [] to something like this: system/view/screen-face/options: [ exclusive-colors dither monochrome ] Exclusive-colors will open an ASL screenmode requester on systems which support it (3.0 and higher). If exclusive-colors is specified and the system doesn't support the ASL screenmode requester, the screenmode can be set explicitly with the following line: screen-mode: "NTSC:Hires" This should be placed directly after EXCLUSIVE-COLORS in the user.r file. Note that the text following SCREEN-MODE must be the exact text found in the screenmode requester brought up by the system's SCREENMODE Prefs program. Additionally, the following should be available now or at some point in the future: screen-name: "My REBOL screen" screen-size: 800x600 The REBOL/View console will be brought up on the regular Workbench screen but the REBOL/View graphical windows will be brought up on the selected screen. The selected screen will stay open until the REBOL/View console is exited. To improve color quality on low-color modes, DITHER can be specified to allow dithering of the available colors to more closely approximate the true colors requested by the REBOL/View script. Sometimes, a grayscale representation is the desired choice for low-color modes in which case MONOCHROME can be specified. The built-in DEMO requires a screenmode of approximately 660x420, plus the amount of offset from the upper left corner of the screen. For users using NTSC or PAL monitors, it is advisable to select a screenmode and manually change the size to 800x600 or greater to account for this. If opening the REBOL window on a Workbench screen, the AUTOSCROLL option in the SCREENMODE Prefs is a good choice to allow viewing the entire demo. If an attempt is made to open the demo on a screen which is too small, REBOL currently may cause the machine to lock up or reboot. This issue is being addressed. The DEMO currently requires at least 7MB or more to run on some Amiga system set-ups. All efforts to reduce the memory footprint are being made for future versions. To turn off the demo, enter the following line in your user.r: start-view?: off You may also wish to add the following line to your user.r file if you intend to open REBOL/View windows on the Workbench screen: system/view/screen-face/size: 800x600 where 800x600 is the resolution of your Workbench screen (modify for your particular resolution). This will help keep the LAYOUT command from improperly determining what size to build a dynamic display. Have fun! -Bo On 1-Nov-2000/19:41:51+1:00, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi!

[REBOL] Re: view on amiga
kolla,
Until we get the situation fixed, edit a user.r file in your View directory
and make it look like this:
REBOL []
system/view/screen-face/size: 800x600
That should take care of the situation until we take care of the situation.
:-)
I wish you could come over to my house and config my Amiga the way
you've got yours configured. I'd even feed you pizza! ;-) But alas, maybe
mine isn't high-octane enough (A3000/060@50/72+2MB/CGX3D-64/2.3GB HD).

You may also wish to add the following line to your user.r file if you intend

where 800x600 is the resolution of your Workbench screen (modify for your

This is what we can do to get rid of the text layout problem?
The silly bits is that you cannot set up a user.r from scratch install,
as the prefs window is layd out in a way so that you cannot reach the "save"
button, just because of this bug :)

[REBOL] Re: Rebol/Command scope
Take heart!
Command with View capabilities will be available in one form or another.
Until then, you can run two REBOL sessions and have them talk to each other
to give the appearance of a single application. Command can launch View
for you automatically and set up the communication mechanism between the
two scripts.

[REBOL] [Off-Topic] Amino Development buys an Amiga .... Re:(5)
Pekr,
There are some very smart Amigans. I'm sure going open source will definitely
improve the OS as we know it. It could also then be ported to native processor
code on many different systems (just like Linux is). If you don't want PPC
AmigaOS, you can use x86 AmigaOS or some other breed.
The problem I am seeing with QNX is the unavailability of software written for
Neutrino. Perhaps this can be overcome with emulators until the software
market improves, but one never knows. We'll have to wait and see!

Hmm, that's the question. Their new kernel architecture looks interesting. But
there is too much work to do for Amino, to bring us their GUI solution ...
Now we will see a split. Many amigans (including me) will follow what come
first, and it seems to be Neutrino. It's near imho. But the question is solved
for me. Why not to support even more OSes? :-)

[REBOL] learning to code... Re:(2)
IIRC, Kernighan/Ritchey's C book also had a mini-C-compiler written in C in the back. This could be used as the basis for a JAVA to REBOL converter. :-) On 28-Dec-1999/19:08:41-8:00, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi -t, why not write a C or Java source code generator in REBOL? You'll have to learn what a Java or C source file looks like. Let's take C. Normally a C file is either a source code file, or a header file. A code file (typically filename.c) will begin by including some header files such as: stdio.h stdlib.h If you're programming is going to interact with sockets under Windows, it'll probably have to include winsock.h. Depending on what you are doing you may also include some other header files, like header files for database libraries, or, if you're programming under windows, you used to have to inlucde windows.h So, the begining of your source code file may look like this: #include stdio.h #include stdlib.h #include windows.h #include winsock.h Then you may define some constants, for instance #define MY_LOGIN_NAME "icimjs" #define MY_PASSWORD "" #define TRIES 10 #define FTP_OPORT 21 #define FTP_IPORT 22 and typedefs, such as #typedef char * NODE or something like that. Next you may declare variables and functions that will be globally accessable, or you may declare them static to ensure that they remain limited to the source file. To find out the details, grab a good book on C programming. I still think Kernighan/Ritchie's book on C Programming is the best introcutory around. Then you can build yourself REBOL objects that will generate the code and the different files you need for you. The point is that as you read through the book and try out the examples, you summarize in your mind the repeating patterns of header files and function declarations and so on, and you use that information to implement REBOL objects and functions that will take some arguments or set some words, which will the be used to generate file which contains the proper C code. While you think about how to structure your REBOL program you will be intesively dealing with the structure of C programs that is the data you are trying generate using REBOL. By the time you've got your REBOL C case tool completed, I bet you'll be quite some C expert and at the same time your efforts will pay you back by providing you with a tool that guarantees that a good portion of your code will be syntactically correct. Basically, REBOL becomes a tool, that use in order to think about C programs and with which test your own theories about how C programs, functions, constants, structures, and variables are declared and defined. You would be creating a REBOL dialect that allows to discuss C programs with REBOL and - if its well done - will allow you use REBOL as your assistant in creating C programs. Kind of a C programming metalanguage, or a compiler for your own language, whose target language is C. You can then look at specific programming tasks. What do linked lists look like in C. How can you create a REBOL function that generates C code that will declare and define the necessary data structures and supporting structures for generic linked list structure? Whenever you investigate a language for the purpose of creating a tool to support the language, you become for more intimate with the language your investigating, then when you're just trying to keep up with the curriculum.

I don't think this is very portable. Many platforms do not support color codes,
What platforms? I think there are no problems on Unixes, there
aren't on the Amiga (even the standard CON: supports colors, text

consoles.

You are correct for the most part, but I was thinking of the embedded devices
like the PalmPilot and other devices which only have a black white screen.
Also, the Amiga console colors are dependent on the Workbench palette and
generally only support 4 colors if I remember correctly. I think those colors

But no reason to grumble there, Bo. It wasn't my intention to "jump
all over" your example. Just trying to point out a different way to do
it and to rant about efficiency. But there's no "right" answer.
I also toyed with enbase, but it wasn't as straightforward from a
user's standpoint in my opinion as the method I chose.
ENBASE was put there to be used! (-;
But mine still uses less bytes to store the function so there!
You got me there. Leaner and slower. ;-)

Hi Bo

I tried your code below, and it works pretty well, except that in version
2.1.90.3.1 (Win32), it doesn't return a value for the INSERT key.
Documentation says it should return a value "CTRL(1B)[H". Makes it kind of hard
to get the console into/out of insert mode.
That's the only documented key that I've found that doesn't return a value.
It returns the value 9 for the TAB key, but returns nothing for the
SHIFT-TAB key. Should it?

For a good way to see what characters your system outputs when you press a
key, you can use the following code:
cons: open/binary [scheme: 'console]

Another good thing to do to understand the console better is to look at

[REBOL] Rebol website update :-) Re:(6)
Russ, I implicitly stated I didn't mean to offend anyone Take it more as a good-natured jab at 16-bit (and lower) OSes. REBOL was designed to be easily portable to 32-bit and higher OSes, therefore implementing it on a 16-bit or lower OS would require a complete rewrite of a large portion of REBOL. We've looked at the feasibility of porting to DOS. Perhaps REBOL3.0 may delve into this issue, but as I said above, it would have to wait until a complete rewrite of the system. If you want to pursue the issue, you could send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] asking whether or not we would consider supporting a 16-bit OS in the next rewrite of REBOL. Also, I'm sure if a developer came up to REBOL with a contract with the requirement that REBOL run on DOS, I'm sure that would help push development in that direction. However, many good 32-bit CPUs can be picked up for next-to-nothing along with a lightweight 32-bit OS to go with it. See Symbian, 3Com and many other embedded vendors. I'm told I'm a very good-natured person, so maybe my remarks were read with inflections different from what I intended. *sorry* :-) On 27-Oct-1999/13:49:02-4:00, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: You (and Bo) seem to totally miss the point.

Why not grabbing an old Amiga 500 for such kind of stuff. And there you really have more than 8+3 characters.

Russ,
I, as anyone who is interested in robotics, am familiar with 16-bit and lower
microcontroller solutions. Hey, we've even been asked if we can work on
the LegOS controller. Several of us minions here decided it was an interesting
proposition, but it would be part of the REBOL/command family as the
implementations would be platform-specific in those embedded solutions.
Have you ever heard of a "Basic Stamp"? You probably have if you are into
embedded systems. How about a "REBOL Stamp"? :-)
My sarcasm comes from me dealing with hundreds of technical questions a day.
I have to keep sane somehow :-) And don't mistake anything I say as
"company policy" because I have very little influence in that area.

I'll let Bo and Martin defend themselves, but I doubt this. REBOL knows where

You miss the point, as well. "BACK?" to 16-bit systems??? Both 16-bit AND
8-bit micros are alive and well in the embedded world.. surprise! Just take
a look at the very active development of new chips at Microchip
(www.microchip.com) or Hitachi for current examples. Perhaps the upcoming
PIC 2000 contest co-sponsored by Circuit Cellar INK and Microchip
(http://www.circuitcellar.com/pic2000/) serves to illustrate just some of
the _current_ interest in this area.
It seems I've raised an issue amongst a group which has no idea of "the
other world" that exists and thrives, in which tiny (by PC standards)
micro's control all sorts of devices and accomplish fantastic feats
(including more and more networking at the TCP/IP level). Unfortunately,
simply because PC's are the most popular and common platform, and they have
gone the way of more and more complexity, people tend to think the whole
world has gone that way. Even more unfortuate, because many tool developers
(which REBOL is, after all... a tool for accomplishing real things) also see
a greater potential income in those popular marketplaces, and so the tools
often do not propagate down to the "small embedded processor" areana... of
which I speak. If REBOL's intention is truly to not support that
marketplace, it's their choice.. and a big loss for everyone. But it's
certainly NOT going BACK to anything. It's supporting an evergrowing and
very alive and healthy marketplace.
I'm quite serious about the Rebol on DOS question
The question is pointless unless a PC DOS has a TCP/IP stack.
It's already been stated that such exists. Not w/in the O/S itself but as
programs that run on it (just as Winsock runs on Windows). Take a look at
Crynwr Packet Drivers for just the beginning of quite a collection of basic
tools for IP communication.
but from Bo's sarcastic
remark (if that's indicative of company policy) I can see it's fallen on
deaf ears.
You were told not to take it seriously, so don't.
Sarcasm has its place and I can laugh (and did) along with anyone. But if
sarcasm is the ONLY answer to a serious question, then it implies a deeper
position... and perhaps the answer to the question that was posed. If it is
accompanied by a forthright answer (even one of "I don't know, but i'll
check"), then it can be taken as "just" sarcasm.
It was certainly not my intention to begin or participate in a flame contest
over this. I simply asked what I thought was a very straightforward,
logical, and meaningful question... and I'm still looking for a direct
answer. Perhaps this is the wrong forum. From private replies I've
received re this issue from others who read this list, I can see that other
embedded system people share my views... guess we're just usually the silent
types who work our magic behind the scenes. Back I go...

REBOL really doesn't do multitasking by itself, if a TSR stack exists and works, then REBOL should be useable on a MS/PC/DR/FREE/etc-DOS box. the problem isnt the multitasking, DOS is a 16 bit OS and REBOL will only work on a 32bit or higher machine.

[REBOL] Error in source (2) Re:(3)
Russ,
I understand the hesitancy of newbies to report bugs. That's OK because
I try to keep an eye on the REBOL list.
If you want to do this, you should be able to do it like this:
word: to-word ""
source :word
Let me know if this causes any problems!

Bo,
Well, it fails on my Win95 system in two versions! Note, you have to run it
as a program, not from interactive command line to see the failure Luis is
speaking of. It seems to be considering ' the beginning of a tag rather
than an operator, and is balking at that. But I dunno how to tell him what
to do to accomplish what he desires, either. And it is strange that it
doesn't give that error when executed from the command line, only when part
of a program.
I think many of us (especially newbies) are hesitant to report things as
"bugs" until we ask around on here and confirm that it's not simply our own
misunderstanding of things :)

Luis,
I tried this on 2.1.90.3.1 running on Windows95 and it worked fine as
well as on 2.1.90.1.1.
Is this still a problem?

[REBOL] Wow, a new console, now vi.r is doable! Re:(5)
I have had quite a demand for this, so I uploaded it to www.rebol.org. It should
be appearing there sometime soon.
Enjoy!

OK, do you think you will be able to produce Scala comparable multimedia
quality with REBOL/Media? :-)
REBOL/media should allow a multimedia program similar to ScalaMM (at least
that is one of the goals).
Also, if anyone is interested in my REBOL editor, %redit.r, please let me
know and I'll send it to you. It has user-programmable macros mappable to
any ASCII sequence. Wrote it in one evening. It is what I use to handle
all my email. Of course, in return I would greatly appreciate your version
after you make any good enhancements to it.
Later!

[REBOL] Newbe question Re:
If the ISP doesn't have ELF libraries installed then REBOL will not run on that machine. Also, if the BSDi installation is a VSERVER installation (I believe it is a customized version of BSDi), it requires a little additional configuration. The most likely problem is the former, however.
