I strongly agree. Greg Grant wrote, I realize this has been somewhat of a rant, and let me reiterate that I learned a lot from the list in its earlier days, but it has become not very useful in the past few weeks. Can we get back to being more on-topic? Respectfully (and I mean that), Grant
[REBOL] The Industry Needs REBOL But Thinks it Wants Perl Re:(6)
It is a good riddle for people to think about. Good public speakers use a illustration or riddle to get people thinking first. They do not say is a product name, or answer full stop at the start. Hollywood always give out some info about a movie in the lead up to release day. But only just small amounts to get the public talking, never the plot. - Original Message - From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, September 21, 2000 10:13 Subject: [REBOL] The Industry Needs REBOL But Thinks it Wants Perl Re:(5) If I expected my customers may reject REBOL because its popularity, I might present it to them as a riddle--something like: Its a written language to computers does it speak more and more adopt it every week It runs on over 40 platforms, available for free but its name has nothing to do with coffee You can send an email in a single line and create things in half the time This language has no keywords of which to mention you can just type your intention Its syntax is the clearest yet to unfold just print "hello world" It is only known amongst a few because this language is very new OK, yes wierd. But it does force someone to think about some of the benifits before they have something to put down because it is not this or that. --Ryan [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: If REBOL goes into open source, you could tell your clients you are using plain old ANSI C to develop whatever they want.

As I recalled many years ago (long before C came into existence), I told my "boss" that I was using old Fortran but actually used RATFOR (Rational Fortran, probably the first open source) which was developed by the same Bell Lab boys who invented C. I have no guilty of what I did. Geo... [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: ... I personally think REBOL is a fine language, and enjoy using it when I have the opportunity.

[REBOL] Enhancement Request - Range! datatype Re:(6)
The "to" has won me. Greg - Original Message - From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, August 21, 2000 16:37 Subject: [REBOL] Enhancement Request - Range! datatype Re:(5) Hi Andrew, I like the use of "-" but I feel it will cause confusion if a negative is used in the range. -1--10 ".." does indicate in English text that something has not been left out. But it is confusing if a decimal is used in the range. .1...10 So what other suggestions could we have for the operator? how about? 1to10 -1to-10 .1to.10 Is using n"to"n that different from using n"x"n for pairs? It is immediately obvious that it is a range, ( in English at least). Other ideas? Cheers, Allen K
[REBOL] REBOL Language Extensions Re:(2)
When I first looked at this, the second suggestion looked good. The isp and modem part I feel is not needed because some people would be on a LAN some with a modem attached, so for software to run on all pc's it should use the connection normally used. All that would be needed is "connect username:[EMAIL PROTECTED]" for connecting to restricted areas on the net because it would use the normaly user name/password to get on the net. Or "connect/dial username:[EMAIL PROTECTED] 5551212" for one computer to talk to the server (non internet). Greg - Original Message - From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, July 14, 2000 07:53 Subject: [REBOL] REBOL Language Extensions Re: Here is my suggestion. connect isp://username:[EMAIL PROTECTED] connect/dial isp://username:[EMAIL PROTECTED] 555-1212 -or- connect modem://username:[EMAIL PROTECTED] connect/dial modem://username:[EMAIL PROTECTED] 555-1212 Neither "modem" nor "isp" are protocols, I know. Just a thought. DIAL this command would enable Rebol to dial out a telephone or fax number. Rebol already invokes communicates through the systems modem for the internet utilities functions.

On a side note, it seems that there are two other Rebol books out there as well. I'm still getting this one, but... I can't believe how ungrateful people are being. You get the language for free, but when you have a chance to put a few extra dollars into RT hands, you look for ways to avoid it. Buy direct and pay the extra as a way of saying "Thank You" to Carl and the team. Cheers, Allen K
[REBOL] Password ask/hide in view?
With core there is "pass: ask/hide" for hiding the typed password. Is there something like that in view? The code below I used in view to have a popup box to enter user name and password. Can you hide the typed in text for the password field? Is there a better way? button 40.40.250 300x24 "Login First Please" [ inform layout [ backdrop 200.60.60 text "User Name" pf1: field 100x24 [ user: pf1/text ] text "Password" pf2: field 100x24 [ pass: pf2/text ] button "Close" [ ftpaddress: join ftp:// [ user ":" pass "@domain.com.au/public_html/log.txt" ] emailaddress: to-email join user "@domain.com.au" hide-popup ] ]; end of inform Regards: Greg Schwarzõ¿õ¬ ~Email - [EMAIL PROTECTED]
