Proposal - the use-revolution list
The Use Revolution List is a splendid tool and have for a long time done a great job. But I believe that some of the support requests by prof. licencees and others to [EMAIL PROTECTED] could be avoided if the list was reorganized to allow for a better overview of the debate. Either a compleete remake or a supplementary/double strategy. It would, as I see it, be a good idea to change the list to a Forum. The concept and princip could still be the same: Free and open for all, and RunRev answering questions/taking part in the debates and announcing as now. The case is that Revolution has developed into a much more mature product and has a much broader appeal than could be said about MetaCard 2-3 years ago. And therefore the list-concept first adopted by MetaCard and then continued by RunRev is now outgrown. IS THE ARCHIVE NOT SOLVING THIS? We have used the archive all the time - but it is not as good as a forum. It does retain treads, but a lot could be said against the way it acutally works. A forum could be organized in chapters (the right word?) Some examples: -Installing -Graphic formats -Multimedia ---Movie ---Sound -Scripting ---sub issue ---sub issue ---sub issue etc. etc. And within each chaptor and its sub issues the users will start and add to threads. Examples http://forums.macosxhints.com/ http://www.macfixitforums.com/ One solution is to take a Mac OS X based Mac or a Linux based Intel computer and install one of the open source systems: I would suggest having a look at: http://www.phpbb.com/ or http://www.vbulletin.com/ (vbulletin is not free but only USD 160 and supported and used by many) But many more can be found at: http://sourceforge.net/softwaremap/trove_list.php?form_cat=309 If there should still be a whish for a list system, then it could be set up to e-mail all new entries to those subscribing.

Two IDE usability edits
Recently, many people have been commenting on the difficulty of finding some information in the documention. While I was thinking about it, I wanted to mention two changes that I always make to the IDE whenever I install a new version that make my life much, much easier. In fact, they are both things that I am surprised RunRev doesn't do already. (For Newbies) To make these changes you need to go to Preferences in the Edit menu, click on General then turn on the options for Contextual menus work in Revolution windows 1. Increase the number of items shown in the documention's Show drop-down menu. Showing only 5 items makes it really hard to find things in the docs. Whenever I install RunRev, I always open the docs, shift-control right(Shift-Command on Macs?) click on this menu, select Proporties and knock the number up to 20. Makes it FAR easier to find things, and gives you a better feel for the context. 2. Add scroll bars to the message window. I often have more data in the message window that I can view without scrolling. Scrolling by select dragging is inexact and irritating. So, I always call up the message window first thing, shift-control right(Shift-Command on Macs?) click on the output field of the message window, and click the options to add both horizontal and vertical scrollsbars (small). I find that these two little things do a lot to make my life easier. ___ use-revolution mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution

putting files into images
I'm confused. I am trying to run some tests to determine how images are stored internally, but I am running into problems very early on. I created a test stack with two images - one called first and one called second. first's size and position is locked, second's is not. What my test was supposed to do was tell me whether putting an image file into a locked and smaller image would actually resize the image, or if the original image data was retained, and could be retrieved by popping the image into an unlocked inage. But I can't even get that far. When I try to put an image from a file into a control, the image remains blank. I think I am doing everything as I am supposed to, and the image I am trying to import was actually exported originally from RunRev.

A few people here have been coding externals in C for years. 3) _Hypertalk Script Language Guide_ by Apple Computer, in Appendix A, has the closest thing I can find to a documentation of the externals API. The calling interfaces are changed, but the function names are the same. Unfortunately there are more Pascal examples than C examples. 4) RR said a tutorial on writing externals is in the works. Right RR :-)? 5) So web searches for XFCN and XCMD. XFCN stands for external function, a transcript function handler that's implemented in native code. XCMD is external command or a transcript command handler that's implemented in native code.

I like this better. The other only did partial checking anyway, so if
date checking is needed, Transcript is a good way to go. The other did
have an advantage in that it would be less likely pick up something in
a long text that looked like a date but was not.

Questions about licensing
1. If I buy the express license is this for just 1 year ? Can I still continue to develop after the year expires with the version I paid for or does it just cease to work? Am I entitled to new fixes/versions in that year ? 2. I read somewhere that when the evaluation edition expires after 30 days it reverts to a free edition with script length limits, is this true ? 3. With the express license is there any way of turning off the built with revolution popup at the end? Or at least change it to my own picture? (I notice the pics are in a rev subdirectory so Im wondering if they can be replaced or removed). I'm tempted to go for the express license but I'm just as tempted to stick with my free edition of 2.0.1 (or even 1.1.1) with script length limits - it seems fairly stable. Answers to these questions may help make up my mind. Thanks in advance. ___ use-revolution mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution

Steve- yes since RR 2.0 the regex engine is using the PCRE library. It
supports nearly all Perl regular expressions syntax. It's not explained
in the Rev docs- except mentioning Perl-compatible regex in the Release

I'd be interested in feedback on this idea Here's one which I'm sure will be followed by many more... I'm no expert on Web forums but have some observations. IMO, a best of both worlds solution would be to have a Web based board that sends email. For myself, the appeal of email (as opposed to a forum) is that I don't have to go searching for new messages, determine what I've read and what I haven't, make sure I respond in the correct folder, etc. All that stuff is great for organizational purposes and future reference but it demands a significant of time which I find bothersome. With email, I don't have to go looking for it, it finds me. And keep in mind that many of the folks on the mail lists donate their time/knowledge on a volunteer basis; if the process for donating that time becomes too demanding, the volunteers are going to stop volunteering. Another issue with forums that (IMO) can be a problem are those that allow users to create topics. The board winds up with thousands of folders, many of which are redundant and effectively duplicate the same problem with an email forum: the same questions get asked and answered repeatedly but now you have the additional headache of having to manually search through all those message on a Web board. Heinous. I believe a suggestion was made here to have some designated top level subject folders such as graphics', text management etc -- I would strongly endorse this. Let an admin/moderator be responsible for creating the top level folders and limit the number of folders to a manageable number. Two references that might be worth throwing in the pot: 1) Adobe has (had?) a support board that allows you to see all new messages from any forum you are subscribed to in a single window when you log in -- kind of like an answering machine. IMO, this is a very effective means to save time when looking for new messages/threads and should be a basic feature of whatever board technology is evaluated. 2) ColdFusion has a board system that allows threaded posts to be emailed so you are notified by (and can respond via) email any time a new post reaches the board. To my mind this falls under the best of both worlds solution. It offers multiple methods for folks to participate which makes it appealing and effective for a broader range of users.

database bug in 2.0.2
I'm having a problem and am just wondering if anyone else is experiencing anything similar. I have a Valentina database that is storing some media content stored in BLOB fields (pictures, sounds, animations, etc.). I am using the revDatabaseColumnNamed function to retrieve this data and save it to a tempory binary file. Anyway, all this works perfectly in version 2.0.1 of Rev. When I updated to 2.0.2, suddenly this function stopped working, but only on files that contain audio data. The pictures can still be retrieved just fine. Like I said, the same exact code runs perfectly in 2.0.1. So something changed between the two versions.

Re: Stack Opens Manually But Script Thinks It's Corrupted?
Dan Shafer wrote: The dox bug is simply that there's no explicit example of how to do this and when you look at the other code examples available, they seem to imply that you should use the file: protocol. When I first started with MetaCard in '97, I was asked to write a routine that copied files from one directory to another. With a decade of SuperCard experience under my belt, I used open file to read them, only to find that the files were unreadable in the target dir. Looking into it more deeply I found that I should have useds open file filename for binary read. Oh, the rant I had in the office that day: How dumb! What the heck's wrong with that Scott Raney! Doesn't he know that when we read files we want the file's actual data unmodified?!? Looking further still, I recalled that HyperCard works similarly to MC in this regard: it modifies data when reading to remove null bytes. MC goes one step further to also convert line endings the to Unix-native form (LF) used internally within MC. But MC goes even further than SC or HC by giving us a choice: you can do a straight read which assumes text and pretties it up for internal use, or you can open as binary to read the unadulterated data. So the central question is: Which shoud be the default, the HC model which alters the data or the SC model that doesn't? For whatever reason, probably history and relative installed based, MC (and now Rev) uses the HC model. When the url syntax was added in v2.1 (?) it followed suit, offering file: and binfile as services (and later resfile: for Mac folks). The docs could probably clarify this better, and with so many thousands of pages to write and maintain a note to Jeanne on such things is probably very helpful. But in spite of my own initial tantrum I've come to appreciate the flexibility, and since most of my reads are with text files I love the platform-independence granted by having the default option take care of line endings without having to think about it. -- Richard Gaskin Fourth World Media Corporation Developer of WebMerge: Publish any database on any Web site ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.FourthWorld.com Tel: 323-225-3717 AIM: FourthWorldInc ___ use-revolution mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution

Re: [ANN] New MySQL tests stack
I have fixed my MySQL test stack so that it can correctly handle Rev 2.0.2 and it's little database problem. The text of my web page has not yet changed to reflect the new version, but the download link will get you the new one. If you have been using my stack and have got Rev 2.0.2, download the new version. It allows you to list cursors with more than 22 records. Sort of. I tried it, it only connects to database test and will not connect to other databases. ___ use-revolution mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
Re: database bug in 2.0.2
Chris Sheffield a écrit : I'm having a problem and am just wondering if anyone else is experiencing anything similar. I have a Valentina database that is storing some media content stored in BLOB fields (pictures, sounds, animations, etc.). I am using the revDatabaseColumnNamed function to retrieve this data and save it to a tempory binary file. Anyway, all this works perfectly in version 2.0.1 of Rev. When I updated to 2.0.2, suddenly this function stopped working, but only on files that contain audio data. The pictures can still be retrieved just fine. Like I said, the same exact code runs perfectly in 2.0.1. So something changed between the two versions.

Re: I don't want read from socket to be blocking
I use read socket to access a pop3 server (email) I need to repeat certain commands several times. How can I make them non-blocking while still repeating them? Add a callBackMessage, Björnke, Rev Dictionary: If you specify a callbackMessage, the message is sent to the object whose script contains the read from socket command, as soon as the read is finished. This message has two parameters: the socketID and the data received from the socket. If you don't specify a callbackMessage, the handler pauses until the read has been completed, or until the time set in the socketTimeoutInterval property has passed. Here is an example from Jan Schenkel's libSTAMP.rev: -- -- HANDLER: libSTAMP_sendConnectionID -- PARAMETERS : pSocket = the socket of the target service point -- PURPOSE: send the local connection ID and awaits the remote connection ID -- on libSTAMP_sendConnectionID pSocket add 1 to sNumOfRemoteServicePoints write (100 MY-CONNECTION-ID= sNumOfRemoteServicePoints return) to socket pSocket put sNumOfRemoteServicePoints into sRemoteServicePoints[pSocket,LOCAL] read from socket pSocket for 1 line with message libSTAMP_readConnectionID end libSTAMP_sendConnectionID -- -- HANDLER: libSTAMP_readConnectionID -- PARAMETERS : pSocket = the socket of the target service point -- PURPOSE: read the remote connection ID and start the connection check loop -- on libSTAMP_readConnectionID pSocket, pData [snip] end libSTAMP_readConnectionID -- Rob Cozens CCW, Serendipity Software Company http://www.oenolog.com/who.htm And I, which was two fooles, do so grow three; Who are a little wise, the best fooles bee. from The Triple Foole by John Donne (1572-1631) ___ use-revolution mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution

How can I make them non-blocking while still repeating them? I just don't get it :( Normally when you read from a socket in a repeat loop you want blocking and would not use 'with message'. You might want to make sure all is working well with blocking before making a non-blocking version. If you are concerned that your handler (which may cause confusion if named 'handler') is taking a long time and keeping you or Revolution from doing anything else, you may want to take another approach. You want non-blocking and 'with message'. repeat with x = 1 to (the second word of theData) --number of messages write ( TOP x 0 crlf ) to socket server :110 --TOP 0 =get only headers read from socket server :110 until crlf . crlf --should be non-blocking but isn't if theMessage contains Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] then -- I assume 'theMessage' means 'it'. put x , after theList --gather all runrev messages end if Sarah or Shao Sean can better comment on whether this is good POP3. The equivalent using 'read ... with message' is below. This off the top of my head, so you might need to make adjustments. The handler startGettingHeaders will get the headers based on its parameter and sor it away in the headerList. Error handling is ignored to keep this simple. local pop3socketID local currentRecord local lastRecord local headerList on startGettingHeaders numberOfMessages put numberOfMessages into lastRecord put 1 into currentRecord put empty into headerList queryHeader end startGettingHeaders on queryHeader write (TOP currentRecord 0 CRLF) to socket pop3socketID read from socket pop3socketID until CRLF .
