Re: curious go to behaviour
Other scripts of this stack use card names in variables (including KF 0) without problems. It's not a question of life and death, but I'm puzzled... Thank you for any hint! This is a wild guess. Array keys are strings. The property numberFormat is applied to any result of arithmetic to make the key. If you use the default numberFormat and keys are always the result of arithmetic, then the keys for numbers will be the same for any two values that are equal numerically. However, sometimes in loops the initial value is not the result of arithmetic. If it is, say, 00 0 or 0., then there might not be a match. This can apply to either the building of arrays or the creation of keys for later lookup. You can check in the building of the array by dumping the keys. Dar Scott Thanks, Dar I checked it. No, in every case all my keys (and bc too) look like plain integers. But it could be useful to remember your suggestion in other circumstances!

How do I extract the sounds from a HyperCard stack and put it into a Revolution stack?

Re: How do I extract the sounds from a HyperCard stack and put it into a Revolution stack?
I just bought revolution a few days ago, so I am definitely new at this...but. If you use revolution to open your existing hypercard stack, the sounds should be there. I accessed the sounds through buttons in hypercard and most of them worked right away in revolution. Now, I need to get a routine to dial a phone. My phone is tied into a mixer in my weather broadcast area, so the tones (from hypercard) go through the mixer and dial any number I need. In OSX, I found that I had to use an external drive for the stacks I wanted to convert because I couldn't read the files if transferred them directly to my powerbook g4 first.

Any COMPLETE database solutions for Rev? ( thanks to all of u)
I have just begun using Rev. Naturally I have combed through the very helpful built-in documentation and HC/MC/RR list archives. I'm amazed at the quality of Rev's community support! All of you who participate on this other boards/lists are to be commended, highly commended. Thanks to all of you, especially Chip, Dar, Jan, Richard, Rob, Sarah, Tuviah, many others. As I mentioned, I have read through all the threads on building database front end clients. It was easy to script a connection to MySQL perform queries add other features, too--I thought I was well on my way. But I have learned first hand that there's some missing pieces (as others on the list have also mentioned). I think all of the SQL dB posts ultimately are looking for a complete Rev solution. So does anyone have a *COMPLETE* IDE for making dB apps with Rev (something that resembles perhaps Filemaker or Access)? How about any tools or *most importantly* a full featured sample stack? Is anyone interested in teaming up on delivering this? I am willing to pay for these resources, but I need to determine the feasibility of making these front ends in Rev very soon, or I need to choose some other technology like Servoy. Any feedback is most welcome. TIA! (OT - I'm curious if any of you are using Rev on Suse linux.

Hi JK, And thanks for associating me with such illustrious list members. [set the promoMode of me to true] If you don't need 'Q', SDB will do. If you require an SQL-compatible, relational database, I tend to agree that the complete solution is not there yet (but I really don't follow the progress: I just note questions issues raised on the list). If you can get by with a hierarchical database (ie: manually maintain any secondary indexes or do without them), Serendipity Library's SDB (Serendipity Database--Binary) offers a reasonably complete solution, IMF(oole's)O: * SDB is 100% native transcript; so it will run on any platform Revolution Supports without extensions. * SDB includes a Utilities standalone to create, backup, restore database stacks, and to import data to export data from the database. * SDB includes an SDB Tools developers' plugin that supplements the functionality of the Utilities standalone with a database data dictionary editor and a handler to maintain a stack of basic front end formats. * In addition to support for direct entry maintenance of data dictionary record definitions, the data dictionary editor includes menuItems to automate data dictionary creation from the fields on a front end card (optionally from the stack of front end formats maintained via SDB Tools) and to apply an existing data dictionary record definition to the fields of a front end card, Both menuItems will optionally add all handlers needed to support SDB to the front end stack card (with two choices as to the type of UI); so it is possible to create a functional database front end with NO scripting. * At the present stage of development I need to begin testing keyboard filtering frontscripts. When the SDB keyboard filter is functional, all editing specified in the data dictionary will be applied to user input on a keystroke-by-keystroke basis, and the input will be formatted to conform to dictionary specifications when the input field is closed. Date text will automatically be validated displayed based on the computer's system date format, while being stored in Julian date format (ie: the centuryCutoff property becomes irrelevant). Numbers will be edited displayed based on the user's desired characters for currency, thousands separator, decimal separator, and stored in raw (ready for calculation in a Transcript handler) numeric format. Developer-defined data format masks and data parsing handlers (within a standalone's script line limit) will also be supported. * Serendipity Library includes a sample client front end which allows the developer to select any db command, see the command syntax optionally modify one or more arguments, run the command, and see the raw results. This same stack also supports an auto test mode where a random db command is issued every two seconds and the results recorded. * SDB, as with all components of Serendipity Library, currently converses in Dutch, English, French, German, Spanish. * SDB is open source, and uses the revolution_ipc group's open source library, libIPC, for client/server communication; single-user client/server syntax are identical, and front end stacks standalones can switch between the two operational modes at runtime. [set the promoMode of me to false] At this point I would normally post a URL to serendipity_downloader.htm; however I'm in the process of changing domains and have nothing currently accessible in cyber space. So if you would like to look more deeply into Serendipity Library SDB, the best I can do for the moment is attach it (about 1 MB for Mac or Windows; 3.8 MB tar for 'nixes) to an eMail.

I am willing to pay for these resources, but I need to determine the feasibility of making these front ends in Rev very soon, or I need to choose some other technology like Servoy. JK, I used Rev (and before that Metacard) as my main dev tool to build n-tier apps for years (CRM client-side front ends, server-side Web and CRM applications servers, binded to PostgreSQL, QTSS and so on, back-end servers, client/server managment tools (PostgreSQL pgdumps, QTSS movies updating, etc...). Rev is the perfect tool to set-up, drive and manage those kind of tasks, even if other tools, alike Servoy, are doing that too, as specialized dedicated tools. The main reason that pushed me to avoid the use of dedicated tools to drive and manage my n-tier apps (including the main J2EE frameworks, Servoy and others) has to do with the fact that Rev let me do in just one tool and one langage 95% of what i would have to code in using dozen of different frameworks instead. Each new needed line of code i write in transcript will be reused in future apps and tasks for many and many times. If i try to do same in using the J2EE paradigm (as an example), i will have to spend 70% of my works in technical tasks (coding, frameworks set-up, unary testing, etc..) and 30% in about designing my apps to feet the customers needs... In using Rev and Transcript, and, just because the XTalk paradigm key features are binded together to give to the apps designer the more suitable tools he need to never shut down in only technical engineering tasks and troubles and always staying able to see, watch and build the apps from a top headed point of view. Because Rev is, in the same time, an object-modeled, a message-driven framework and a very elegant langage, because Rev is builded on top of a micro-kernel engine, bindable in both graphical and console modes to stacks, standalones and scripts, this tools is the onest to let us, in using Transcript, build drived events commands sent, in client/server mode, not to an interpreter, not to a compiler but, just, to the Revolution microkernel engine It's always, in using Rev, a way to build a solution witch will run as fast as any C/C++ compiled app does (see benchmarks of the competitions what are happening some times on the lists (archives) against tools like Pascal, C/C++, RealBasic, Shell driven apps. About comparing the Rev engine to the JVM 1.4.2, Rev 2.1.2 is, at least, running 600% faster than the JVM in about TCP/IP sockets driven client/server solutions (deamons) under the Linux x86 platform. As you right expect, it can make a big difference in about all of the environmental compartiments the Rev app is interacting with (hardware, databases accesses, security including proxying apps, etc...). One more word : Rev is the best tool i ever seen as able to run my apps in test mode, along i'm developping and debugging them. Because its native client/server architecture (IDE framework + console-mode sockets driven events model + microkernel engine), i can, in the same time, have the app (i'm right now coding) play back an rtsp streamed movie and the script editor opened to code and debug an updated issue of the code witch handle, right now, the movie playback... Rev let us spend 70% of our working time in designing our apps and, for me, the unintersting part of the job is at 0%, just because when we are spending the needed 30% of time in writing the code, the pleasure is to write the more compact, secure and elegant we can ;) To the end, Rev is, at least, one of the bests tools, and perhaps the best one, that give us the liberty to become, day after day, best apps designer's and xtreme programming experts.

Dear Runrev Colleagues, If you would like to examine the said revdocs.htm, it is available for download at http://www.howsoft.com/runrev/ I can do no better than to quote the e-mail I sent to Kevin yesterday and his replies: On 29/4/04 10:08 pm, Robert J Warren [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: One of the reasons I haven't made more positive progress with RunRev since I first discovered it some years ago is on account of the deficiencies in the documentation. There has been a lot of discussion about this on the List recently, and I know you are paying attention to it and making considerable improvements. However, as it stands, people who live in 3rd world countries such as myself find it awfully expensive to buy hard copies of the docs, aggravated by the fact that we get punished twice over when we have to pay heavy import duties. There is, from my own point of view (and my 3rd world partners) a considerable case for the availability of more electronic documents for simple download. Recently, flexiblelearning.com took the trouble to make a PDF out of a great number of the RunRev 2.12 docs. To me, this was a Godsend, since I can now get at the indexed info I need more easily. However, printing out the PDF is quite a job, so what I felt the need for was a version of the docs that was more flexible to navigate without the obligation to print. I therefore translated the PDF into HTML format for my own use. The result is far less pretty than the PDF, and the HTM file is far less suitable for printing. But the advantage is that I can easily hop about between the items in the index and the pages they point to. It occurs to me that some of my Runrev user colleagues might also find this HTML file of use. However, the last thing I want to be accused of is undercutting your sales in any way. The documentation is not mine, it is yours, and only you can decide about what you think is the most appropriate policy in relation to the types and availability of it.

There are descriptions of previous contests in the History section of the web site if you want an idea of what to expect. All entries are submitted as text files. Here is last year's contest: http://www.dtek.chalmers.se/groups/icfpcontest/task.html This required you to drive a simulated car around some simulated test tracks. The submission itself is a text dump of the commands given to the car. They then ran the trace through their own simulator, which reads the contents of the submitted entry. They do want to see the code, but they don't care what language it is in and the quality of the code does not affect who wins; the success of the code does. This year's contest will be similar in that the entry will consist of a text file that solves whatever task they post. In last year's contest speed did count, but only because the goal was to make the car move as fast as possible. The speed would be due to the quality of the commands rather than the state of any particular computer. There's more stuff in the History section. MIT started the contest some years ago. It looks like they've done a nice job eliminating things that are computer and language dependent, and focusing on the programming rather than the execution.

Re: Programming contest [Rev Physics masters]
So who's our physics master? I have experience backtesting optimizing systems once I've programmed them - but defining the environment following their specs looks extremely challenging. I'm quite sure that how you manage a brute force backtest of the race track problem can produce best results when designed just right. That said I would've been lost on the first 90% of the problem. So who here could've nailed down the 2003 problem? http://www.dtek.chalmers.se/groups/icfpcontest/Rotmos/problem.pdf On Friday, April 30, 2004, at 09:12 PM, J.

I'd help a team for sure, sounds like fun. There are descriptions of previous contests in the History section of the web site if you want an idea of what to expect. All entries are submitted as text files. Here is last year's contest: http://www.dtek.chalmers.se/groups/icfpcontest/task.html This required you to drive a simulated car around some simulated test tracks. The submission itself is a text dump of the commands given to the car. They then ran the trace through their own simulator, which reads the contents of the submitted entry. They do want to see the code, but they don't care what language it is in and the quality of the code does not affect who wins; the success of the code does. This year's contest will be similar in that the entry will consist of a text file that solves whatever task they post. In last year's contest speed did count, but only because the goal was to make the car move as fast as possible. The speed would be due to the quality of the commands rather than the state of any particular computer. There's more stuff in the History section. MIT started the contest some years ago. It looks like they've done a nice job eliminating things that are computer and language dependent, and focusing on the programming rather than the execution.

How do I extract the sounds from a HyperCard stack and put it intoa Revolution stack?
Hi Deena, There are applications such as Ultra Recorder that enable you to extract sounds from HyperCard Stacks and convert them into the format you like (.au, for instance) You can then import them into your Rev stack through the 'Import as control submenu.
