[REBOL] Re: Windows Crash
> hi, sorry for inserting myself in the discussion, Me too. I've done a number of substantial applications. None of them technically commercial in that they haven't been sold. But they are in daily use by non-profits. One application you can take a look at is the REBOL Script Library: http://www.rebol.org (Still work in progress, so there are some rough edges). I didn't do that all on my own -- lots of code from Volker and Gregg. Plus we were very easily able to integrate Andrew's eText and Robert's Make-doc-pro despite them being written as stand-alone non-CGI programs. And we develop of different platforms (Windows, Linux; Apache, Xitami) for a production environment different to anything any of us use (UNIX, Apache). With one minor problem (due to the production version of Core) it was remarkable how cross-platform REBOL is. As a collaborative development environment for CGI applications, it takes a lot of beating, Sunanda. -- To unsubscribe from this list, just send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe as the subject.

Steffen, Some of the commercial applications I've written: A recruiting database that automates a number of functions for the recruiters including automated faxing and emailing. Contains close to 1,500,000 candidates and over 500,000 communication records including resumes in .doc and .pdf formats. Allows automatic branding of resumes with a corporate logo and disclaimer when sending out to prospective employers. Many, many other functions. Caller ID application that notifies all specified computers on a network when calls are coming in and who the call is from. Only one computer needs a caller ID capable modem. Allows storage and retrieval of notes on specific calls and callers so anyone in the office can know who handled the caller in the past and what the call was about immediately. Point of Sale application that allows for easy invoicing, sales reports, and customer contact information. Easy website builder. Takes a directory on a local computer and turns each subdirectory into its own page automatically organizing the text files and pictures in that directory into the page. See http://www.lechnotech.com for an example of a site built with this tool. (Sorry the site doesn't look so good, haven't had time to polish it up yet.) Terminal emulation program that connects to a mainframe through a serial port and allows a customizable interface on a PC with extended functionality instead of using a dumb terminal. And there's lots more, but I need to get busy so I can support my family. :-) Bohdan "Bo" Lechnowsky Lechnowsky Technical Consulting At 02:20 PM 10/2/03 +0200, you wrote: >Hi Gabriele & Bohdan, > >Thank you for your comments re commercial applications. > >I should be very happy to be convinced. > >I'm also curious as to what type af applications? > >Regards Steffen > > >- Original Message - >From: "Bohdan or Rosemary Lechnowsky" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >Sent: Wednesday, October 01, 2003 3:59 PM >Subject: [REBOL] Re: Windows Crash > > > > > > At 09:53 AM 10/1/03 +0200, you wrote: > > >On Tuesday, September 30, 2003, 8:24:08 PM, you wrote: > > >SKP> I gives me the feeling that it's a bit bit early for commercial > > >aplications. > > > > > >I have delivered a number of commercial applications and will > > >continue to do so.

Are you familiar with such tool? I expect we talk tools league of Delphi, VB etc. E.g. we used here CA-Visual Objects (as I come from Clipper world). So, let's start with pekr's rules :-) - don't trust stupid argumenting such as - "if you use VB, don't even dare calling yourself a programmer". Good coder would never tell you such sentense, as he/she knows, that right tool at right time at your hand is what matters. What is more - if you are not familiar with those tools, forget you start utilising your tool easily. It does not matter you know what is object programming about - you have to learn classes, events, their logic, etc. If you already came to rebol, it is clear you want to do some apps "your way". E.g. with VO, we scrapped all templates and produced our logic - I hate those templates which can solve easy cases for you, but once you go deeper and deeper in a problem, you end-up with kludgy code. So in the end we had some small IS sales system done. Do you think our users care what it was programmed in, or how sophisticated object logic it uses? :-) I use "minimalistic" aproach - ask yourself : - does it work? If so, who cares what sophisticated tool you used - users/customers don't! - Is it fast enough? Now I mean mainly speed. There is old trade-off of speed of scripting languages. Only morons can claim such things nowadays, at least for general apps. Fast enough is simply fast enough. I often can hear - but my C++ code would work 10x faster. Well, ppl claiming so very often forget the fact, that today's PC is x times faster than yesterday's server ;-) so - for general business apps, rebol is more than ideal. Forget some video, sound capabilities - we are slow and not there yet, forget writing MS Office clone using rebol etc. - don't try to provide your app with native OS skins! Well - that is my suggestion. I know some ppl think otherwise, but I can tell you, that my ppl notice my apps, because they look slightly different. E.g. REBOL IOS has very pleasant feeling - if it would have native Windows look - it would just look as other windows based app ... so - use the difference as your advantage! - Does it behave consistently? And now take care! VID is still not consistent in some cases. While I prefer different look of app, I know that what ppl hate is different app behavior (I talk keyboard navigation here). But there are some patches mainly from Romano, which help in that area. And - after all - once you will become more fluent with View, you can change lot's of things yourself. - more styles - ask Cyphre for tree-view, list-view, tabs, menu etc styles - they are very nice, even in beta. There was VID 1.3 community effort but it is not finished. I know RT wants to do something in that regard, as current VID stopped imo in some 80% of perfection (missing styles, some inconsistencies, capabilities ...) - time to market - I can bet that Rebol will allow you to very quickly prototype your app. You will be designing it around your thoughts. Rebol is first environment which provides me with such feeling. e.g. in VO I had to wrap my thinking around strict object logic. Rebol is free-form. - what rebol lacks a bit is simple built-in database (IIRC Gabriele did something in that regard but I don't know its state). So it depends what are your intentions. Rebol/Command has ODBC interface, using View/Pro you can use Firebird wrapper and even with non-profi Rebol products you can use e.g. Postgress and MySQL - we have cool folk called DocKimbel here, who did really nice drivers ...

hi, sorry for inserting myself in the discussion, but here are example of commercial applications which I have done I have programmed and sold a rebol/pro application which controls a broadcast Didgital disk (video) recorder and transfers images to it via a tcp channel OR a direct hardware scsi disk interface by using the low-level aspi.dll. The interface uses an edit list so that you can insert clips anywhere in the DDR without having to punch numbers... I also have personal commercial applications which handle 3d animtion and compositing render farm, as well a post-production shot management tracker, which even handles rendering and flipping of various post-production tools without having to actually open those applications. -MAx --- "You can either be part of the problem or part of the solution, but in the end, being part of the problem is much more fun." > -Original Message- > From: Steffen Kahr Pedersen [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Thursday, October 02, 2003 8:21 AM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: [REBOL] Re: Windows Crash > > > > Hi Gabriele & Bohdan, > > Thank you for your comments re commercial applications. > > I should be very happy to be convinced. > > I'm also curious as to what type af applications? > > Regards Steffen > > > - Original Message - > From: "Bohdan or Rosemary Lechnowsky" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Sent: Wednesday, October 01, 2003 3:59 PM > Subject: [REBOL] Re: Windows Crash > > > > > > At 09:53 AM 10/1/03 +0200, you wrote: > > >On Tuesday, September 30, 2003, 8:24:08 PM, you wrote: > > >SKP> I gives me the feeling that it's a bit bit early for > commercial > > >aplications. > > > > > >I have delivered a number of commercial applications and will > > >continue to do so.

There are ways to get Rebol to minimize I had rebol go above 600MB a few times without problems. maybe its more related to the sheer number of contexts, declared words, or the total amount of memory handling the application has to handle at once.

[REBOL] Re: Windows Crash
What are these ways to minimize memory usage? Matt, I've seen it happen when Rebol consumes too much memory. Check out system/stats to see how much memory your program is consuming (maybe keep a running logfile to see if this is the case). I wrote an application that started to do strange things including Windows system crashes when memory consumption got above 100MB. There are ways to get Rebol to minimize memory usage.

[REBOL] Re: Windows Crash
Matt, I've seen it happen when Rebol consumes too much memory. Check out system/stats to see how much memory your program is consuming (maybe keep a running logfile to see if this is the case). I wrote an application that started to do strange things including Windows system crashes when memory consumption got above 100MB. There are ways to get Rebol to minimize memory usage. I find this becomes much more of an issue when writing large apps or long-running apps.

I'm not saying it's a bug at all. It could just be something I'm doing. I just wanted to know if any particular situations, loops, timers, engages, etc. have a tendency to cause this problem Matt >From: "Matt MacDonald" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >Subject: [REBOL] Windows Crash >Date: Mon, 29 Sep 2003 08:23:35 -0400 > > >Does anybody know any common circumstances in REBOL that would cause a >REBOL >program to crash in windows.

[REBOL] Re: Windows Crash
Matt - I've never experienced a REBOL cause, but I'd be real happy to send you a Gb or two of Windows bugs that crash useful stuff like AltMe SafeWorlds & other Rebol apps. :) - Pete On Mon, 29 Sep 2003 08:23:35 -0400, Matt MacDonald <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Does anybody know any common circumstances in REBOL that would cause a > REBOL > program to crash in windows.

[REBOL] Re: Windows Crash
I have some crashes eventually but I guess this is Windows problems, since REBOL under Linux is just fine Carlos > > Does anybody know any common circumstances in REBOL tha t would cause a REBOL > program to crash in windows.
