I didn't realize Linux would have the constraint and am interested in the answer to this. (My problem is that I have a client/server acting up and I want to see which one is the problem. I want to have some non-Rev service to send a UDP response to see if the client has trouble.) Forget what I said about 10,000 or higher that was incorrect. Regarding /etc/inetd.conf, /etc/services, TCP and UDP port numbering. An O'Reilly book published in 1991 says: It should be noted that a port does not have to be listed in the database to be used. Any program may use any port it wants to (provided it's not already in use), with two exceptions. The ARPANET administration has decreed that port numbers below 512 are reserved for services which it approves. Further, Berkeley UNIX imposes the rule that port numbers below 1024 may only be used by the super-user. Thus, regular user programs are restricted to port numbers between 1025 and 32767. Note that servers like MySQL and PostgreSQL run as their own user (not as root) and run on high numbered ports for security; 3306 and 5432 respectively. Some servers like Apache, running on port 80, running as user nobody, must startup as root, and change uid after establishing sockets- or something like that. Presumably Mac OS X and Linux both follow these guidelines as well. I don't know if Windows has the equivalent concept of super-user or if it has the same rules for port usage.

Re: Release Candidate 1 Available -- Special Offers End Soon
I don't think we have any plans to withdraw this offer in the short or medium term, but in the long term obviously, we are likely to stop supporting the subscription model in favour of the new licensing. You should be pretty safe to wait until December, but if we do have any plans to discontinue the subscription renewals, we will certainly tell everybody and give you a last chance to renew. Hmm, now this is confusing. You say that your new licensing model is not subscriptions?! What is the difference? Are we now required to maintain valid license at all times? So far, we were allowed to renew even if it was expired. Maybe I'm using confusing terminology. What I mean by the subscription model is the kind of licensing system we've had where you buy a license for a year, and get all upgrades free during that year (and before anybody asks, no, that doesn't mean your Revolution will stop working after a year, it just means you don't get any more free upgrades). Enterprise still works that way: buy an Enterprise license or renewal and it includes all upgrades for a year. However, Studio and Express are now single version licenses. You buy a license for the shipping version of Revolution only, and purchase further upgrades as and when you need them. Actually, to be strictly accurate, you get one free upgrade with Studio, and then you have to start paying for them. Express gives you no upgrades at all. We are maintaining the subscription model for the moment, for existing customers only, who hold licenses to 2.0.1 or earlier. The question of renewal after expiry is a different issue. To date we have never required that you maintain your license at all times, and I can't see us doing that. We'd prefer you to renew within a reasonable time interval of course...

Re: How revert not the current stack???
Bon soir François. Hello! Thank you Björnke, but I so stupid that I don't understand! I have read the transcript dictionary of course! But I'm unable to save from my current mainstack by script the other mainstack Users and after revert it. Here is the matter for me!! Why not save into a temporary file and delete it on quit? Hint ;-) specialfolderpath(Temporary) Should be easy to maintain a list of temp-stacks... This way revert will work at least ;-) Hope that helps...

Re: HC to R question
Thanks Richard. I wasn't knocking Rev, just a bit bewildered by the slightly different way it handles scripts I've long used. Not to worry! I'll check out Jacque's article. Dale Richard Gaskin wrote: Dale Pond wrote: Seems Rev doesn't like abbreviations Rev is very good about honoring abbreviations, and offers them for its unique object types as well (e.g., "scrollbar" can be written "sb" -- thank you Scott!). Rev is also generally good about being able to identify objects by name, ordinal number, or ID. If you've encountered problems addressing cards by name and find that the ordinal number works, I'd double-check the card name in question and whether it's in the default stack at the time the handler is called. For example, palette windows are not a true stack in HyperCard, so any script in a palette which navigates to a card by name will assume it's referring to the topmost stack. But with Rev allowing stacks to take on a variety of modes, including palette, the defaultStack and the topStack may not always be the same thing. You coud get past that ny setting the default stack from your palette's script: on mouseUp set the defaultStack to the topStack go next end mouseUp Another factor that may come into play is the difference between how HyperCard and Revolution refer to objects. In HyperCard you must specify "bg" for background buttons and "cd" for card fields. Rev takes a simpler approach in which references to objects do not need to specify layer. For compatibility, however, the hcAddressing stack property makes Rev use HyperCard0style object references. If memory serves this property is set to false for new stacks but true for stacks converted from the HyperCard format.

Re: General license questions
I have some general license questions. I hope it is OK to ask general questions here as others might elaborate on the questions, supply interpretations and also appreciate answers. Seems reasonable to me. 1. The new license table has a Create applications for column. I assume that means standalones and all licenses can build stacks for all platforms. Is that correct? Yes it means standalones, but no, Express can't build for all platforms. It only builds applications for the platform you license it for. Other licenses all build for all platforms. 2. I assume that WIN32 for the time being is one platform. Is that correct? Yes. 3. Are printed manuals included in Enterprise renewals? No, renewal doesn't include manuals.

upgrades vs. bug fixing
hypothetically, if a user has 4.0, and a few months later 4.1 is released, does the 4.0 user need to upgrade to fix any bugs that exist in 4.0? = [EMAIL PROTECTED]http://www.erikhansen.org __ Do you Yahoo!?

If so, would winzip uncompress it? I would have thought so, but it does not. I am suspecting a corrupt file. Any one else having problems with this? .gz is GZIP format (which is the same used by rev's compress and decompress functions). I thought for sure that Winzip could deal with .gz format, and it claims to support GZIP in it's help file, but I'll be darned if I can get it to unzip that file! The Windows.gz file is OK I verified it by using gunzip on OS X. Use Rev's builtin compression functions to do it with a short script, or try another tool. I think Stuffit Expander from Aladdin can handle gzip files.

Re: General license questions
Heather, I believe that the question being asked is - Can a .rev file built in Express be run with any other version. I'm assuming that's a yes...and it makes me wonder...what happens when somebody finally does the thing that has long been discussed on this list, and builds a generic Player type application, using Studio or Pro. That's going to be a problem, isn't it, since that would allow someone with Express to deploy on any platform potentially. - Original Message - Yes it means standalones, but no, Express can't build for all platforms. It only builds applications for the platform you license it for. Other licenses all build for all platforms. ___ use-revolution mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution

Hi yoy, Rob, That's EXACTLY the behavior (Scroll To) I want! But... how do I read the scripts? One smart solution ;-) is to use the messagebox: Type: edit script of the mousecontrol DON'T hit RETURN yet!!! Instead positon the cursor on top of that menubutton and THEN hit RETURN... Et voila, you can edit the script of the mousecontrol, see the docs for more info about this handy little sucker ;-) I opened the stack via the Open Stack menu but I can't get it into edit mode. It doesn't show in the Application Browser.. See menu: View - Revolution UI Elemnts in List et voila, there they are in the App Browser: stacks galore... ...and you will hardly find your own couple of stacks anymore ;-) Sorry to appear so clueless. ...as long as you love your mom ;-) But that's it!
