Re: Valentina 1.8.7 Introduces Java, MacOS X REALbasic, Shockwave Versions

2001-01-22 Thread jbv

Hello list,

I just spent some time checking Valentina for Metacard
and must confess that I'm quite impressed. This thing
could fit very well for a couple of projects I have pending
right now...

But I have a couple of questions, especially regarding
memory management. When saving a Metacard stack
as a standalone, about 2.5 Mb (basically the Metatalk
interpreter) are added to the stack.
Valentina for Metacard is an XCMD, so I guess that to
be fully operational it has to be added to the ressource
fork of the stack, which should add another 600 Kb (the
exact figure skips my mind right now) to the stack, right ?
And is it the same for the Windoze version ?

And what about the Valentina files (data, indexes...) ?
Does the XCMD access them on the HD, or is there
any benefit / possibility to upload them in RAM ?

Last but not least : is there somewhere any exhaustive
list of all XCMDs available for Metacard (I'm especially
interested in those running on Mac AND Win) ?

Thanks.

JB

On the other hand, it's nice to get information about 
Metacard-related products. We're not exactly swamped with them. :)

However, the press-release style probably doesn't make many friends 
on a list like this. Something written specifically for Metacard 
developers would be nicer.

By the way, I just gave the Valentina xcmd (Windows version) a try 
out. I'm no database person, but it seems a solid and powerful tool. 
It took a couple of long sessions to work out what I was doing, but I 
managed to build tables, link them, load data, run queries, etc, all 
from a Metacard interface.

I'd be interested to hear from anyone using it for "big" projects 
about its performance and stability.

Cheers
Dave Cragg

Hey Scott, why not add a notices page to the MetaCard list so people 
can post their product releases to it?  This is not this first time I 
get spammed in the list (lets call it what it is), it's only going to 
get worse before it gets better.
