Re: creating an installer?
Has anyone created an installer using Rev? It shouldn't be that difficult, right? Just add a couple of aliases to the start-menu and the desktop and copy the folder to the right place..? But I've found that I would need specialfolderpath(programs) to find the location of the programs-folder. Is that possible to add to Rev? Or is it smarter to use another app like Wise or Installshield for this?

(Or maybe you can figure out the format just by looking.) Audio input normally does not have any 0 Hz (DC) response. This is fine if you are looking at Morse code tones or maybe engine noise, but crumby if you are looking at power supply voltages or strain gauge amplifiers from scales. In other words, normally audio only measures AC. However, I don't know the particulars of iMic.

Re: use-revolution digest, Vol 1 #366 - 10 msgs
Kevin, After typing http://www.runrev.com/revolution/engines11; into my browser I see several engines there (thanks Kevin), but I still do not see the OS-X engine... Can someone please categorically answer the following questions: Is the OS-X engine the Revolution application itself?... Every attempt I've made to determine this has failed. If not, where is it?.. Every attempt I've made to locate it has failed. If so, can I use it as a general-purpose scripting tool like I can the darwin engine? Every attempt I've made to do so has failed. Why isn't Darwin one of the targets when you build a distribution?... Is RevDB supported under darwin, in particular the Valentina database? When I attempt to execute the following script, it aborts with a signal 10. Commenting out the revDB_Connect allows the script to execute #!/usr/local/Revolution/components/engines/Darwin on startup put test.vdb into theDatabase write theDatabase linefeed to stdout put revdb_connect(Valentina,,theDatabase,) into gConnectionID write gConnectionID linefeed to stdout end startup Switching the first line to: #!/usr/local/Revolution/Revolution Just gives me a whole bunch of garbage when I try to execute it... I did a little bit of research since someone mention CFM and Mach-O at one point and I think I now understand that it seems like Mach-O is darwin related executables/libraries and CFM is OS-X related executables/libraries However, I have seen some examples of calling one from the other so it seems like it is possible (?) -- anbd others where it seems like it's not possible (?)... Is there some technical reason why the Valentina CFM library included with Revolution could not be used from the Revolution Darwin engine?. (Tuviah, I know you said you would look into a couple of those when you got the chance, I am not trying to pressure you just clarify my questions and point out some additional information I happened across)... - Greg ___ use-revolution mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
Re: setting htmltext makes field appear disabled
I just set the htmltext of a standard scrolling field for the first time since I upgraded to the latest v111. When I do so the field takes the appearance of a disabled field. The backcolor becomes light grey and black text becomes a dark grey. As soon as I click in the field to edit, and give it focus, the field resumes the normal appearance of an editable field, ie the backcolor turns white and the black text becomes black again. I'm using release 1.1.1 on macOS I've already reported this off-list together with another htmltext-bug. I think the problem was introduced with 1.1.1b2 and happens on my Mac with OS 9.2.2 as well as on Windows NT.

Interesting piece of a puzzle found... Not sure how to finishpiecing it together though...
Hello, I recently discovered some interesting things about the OS-X/Darwin versions of Revolution Here are my findings: I am making the assumption that the Revolution executable in the case of OS-X is the equivalent of what is in the components/engines folders for other platforms here.. If that assumption is incorrect then everything changes This is a re-iteration of some previous posts I have made, but I solved on of the bigger problems so I thought I'd present it again.. Sorry if it is overly redundant... Problem: The Darwin engine does not support VXCMD's or the revDB api with the Valentina mode. Solution: Use the OS-X engine (what other choice is there? ;-) ) - Problem: The Revolution executable cannot be started from the command line, it yields a bunch of gibberish Solution: Use the open command, this creates a problem because the application is launched in the background. - Problem: How to launch a CFM binary without it launching into the background. Solution: Create a shell script, I called mine /usr/local/bin/Launch. In this shell script put the following: #!/bin/sh /System/Library/Frameworks/Carbon.framework/Versions/A/Support/LaunchCFMApp $@ After creating the file do a chmod 755 on it (chmod 755 /usr/local/bin/ Launch) To start Revolution this way, use Launch /usr/local/Revolution/ Revolution (or wherever it is stored). - Problem: Revolution engine keeps launching in GUI mode. Solution: [ No solution yet -- do you have one? ] - Problem: Revolution engine will not execute a script like the following: #!/usr/local/bin/Launch /usr/local/Revolution/Revolution on startup write hello world linefeed to stdout end startup In other words The OS-X engine doesn't seem to know (or care) about stdout or have a way of executing scripts from the command line. Solution: The only one I can think of is to write an invisible stack application which will take an argument of a file and do the lines of that file. Are there any better ones?... - Problem: Can't find a way to feed a command-line argument to the OS-X Revolution engine. Solution: [ No solution yet, any ideas? ] - Problem: When doing a script containing a bunch of transcript commands, will I be restricted by the license in a built executable? Solution: [ No analysis yet, should be easy to figure out though -- but does anyone know off the top of your head? ] - The interesting thing is that it *almost* looks like I can piece something together here, if I can only figure out a solution to the last few problems. It's a different angle then I was looking at it from before (the Darwin side), but this seems possibly more practical Any additional thoughts?... Thanks, as always, for the great response on this list... - Greg ___ use-revolution mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
Another new kid on the block
Hi List I got the Starter Kit about 4 days ago and have been through the tuts and playing with it quite a bit since then. I'm impressed, frustrated, excited and confused! I come from a very strong Visual Basic background which I've been using as my main language for about 4 years. I'm impressed about the ease of developing cross platform apps in Rev. I'm frustrated because it is tough to come from one tool where I can do most of what I want with my eyes shut to now having to look up things like how to declare a variable! I'm excited because I got through the tutorials in a few hours and have progressed into an app that I was building with VB and have found that it may be possible to do it all in Rev which would expand the reach of my application. I'm confused by the plain English of Transcript! I'm used to writingx = blah rather than put blah into x I want to know if there are any other Rev users who come from a VB background and, if so, how can we work together to write some tutorials or whatever slanted to VB developers. It would sure help me right now to see a comparison chart of how things are done in VB and their Rev equivalents. Regards, Bernie Users don't care if I write in VB, C++ or Revolution.
