Re: Rev as memory-resident database
We have been experimenting with small databases (50 to 100 meg.) and, so far, like the results. It takes a long time to load the data into RAM and a long time to save it back to disk in Rev. but while it is in RAM it runs FAST. A modern computer should be able to hold many large databases in memory. I think archives, for most companies, probably do not need to be loaded into memory. They can be accessed from disk (which in Rev. means being loaded into RAM) as needed (and purged from memory when closed). Initially we were quite concerned about the volatility of RAM. But solid-state memory (with proper UPS backup) is probably safer than a mechanical Winchester disk. Keep in touch.

RE: Rev as memory-resident database
That's not really a good benchmark, unless you report the time in ms. Accessing a record by key value in any good database should always be 1 second. Using SQL Server running on my 733mhz PIII desktop with 256 MB ram (not a server - they call it their Desktop Database), I can retrieve one record from a 22 MB, 97K-record table by key value (index) in 10 ms. Now, if you are _not_ talking about indexes when you say key value, then that would be more impressive (versus a disk-based db). But it still needs to be quantified more precisely.

Re: Rev as memory-resident database
Most operating systems split that 4GB address space roughly in half. 2GB is reserved for the operating system (not half of the physical memory, but half of the addresses which can be assigned to the memory), and a unique 2GB address space is provided for each process. Some of that unique 2GB address space, toward the beginning and sometimes toward the end, is often (intentionally) unusable, in an effort to help track bugs in software (there is a reason for this, and it is legitimate; if you have (C/C++/Pascal/etc.) programming experience, consider NULL pointer dereferences...) This takes away another hundred K or so, and more is taken away by Revolution, by any user-level runtime libraries DLLs referenced by Revolution (both the engine and the IDE need to be in that memory space). Add to this the stack code and layout information, any runtime data tracked by revolution, global local variables and properties, your Transcript code, and so on... You don't really have that much memory addressing space available for your data. Note that some operating systems (including some specially configured versions of W2K/XP) will allow 3GB of addressing space per process, and reserve only 1GB for the operating system. If your data is larger than 1-1.25GB, do not expect it to fit into a 32-bit addressing space, even if you have 4GB of RAM and no other running programs. If you have one of those specially configured Windows systems (or a similarly configured OS of some other kind -- does anyone know if Linux or BSD can be configured that way?), you might get 2-2.25GB, maybe a little more, but these numbers are rough approximations. Leave yourself more room than you think you'll need. Also, even on a 64-bit computer, if Rev is not built to run as a 64-bit program, you will still be limited to the 32-bit address space. And if the stack file is too large for the filesystem constraints, you will not be able to save it to disk, even if you have a 64-bit address space to make use of... many filesystems place a limit on the size of any one single file. So in short, 2-3GB is not necessarily realistic for a 32-bit system ;-) On Aug 25, 2004, at 8:01 AM, Alex Shaw wrote: hi, I stumbled upon an old /. article just recently.. http://slashdot.org/features/01/05/03/1434242.shtml ..

Re: Do we have synthetic speech in WindowsXP yet?
This is a perfect example of why making a cross-platform tool is so hard that very few people who have attempted it have succeeded. Every OS, every platform, every deployment configuration is a moving target that the tool maker has to try to keep up with despite having absolutely no input into or control over how the makers of those substrates go about their business of innovation and development. I suppose that every one of us could come up with a list of things that we wish Rev would do. High on my list, e.g., is the ability to have truly styled text and styled text editing in fields. One of my dream apps demands this. But creating such a tool that would work across just the three primary platforms -- Mac OS X, Windows XP, and the core distribution of Linux -- would be a HUGE undertaking. (I know; I've read specs for it from other developers). Does that mean I am ready or willing even to CONSIDER abandoning the best development tool I've ever seen for 90% of my work? Or does it mean that I acknowledge that no tool, no matter how good it is, will ALWAYS have holes, will always have applications for which it simply isn't suited, and either to choose not to develop applications for which my favorite tool isn't a good choice or find a different tool that will work for what I want to do? So-called real programmers always have two or more languages in their tool box. I don't know of any tool that is ideally suited for all kinds of applications. Those who say that if Rev doesn't implement this or that feature, they're going to abandon it and move to RealBASIC or some other tool are apparently committed to developing applications for which RunRev is not the best choice. I say we should wish those people Godspeed and send them on their way to a tool that WILL do what they want. Their departure isn't a signal that there is something fundamentally wrong with Rev, only an acknowledgment that Rev is like all other tools: great for a lot of things, not so good for some. On the other hand, if the tool maker commits to making a particular technology or technique work within their tool across the supported platform set, then the company owes its developers one of two things: completion of the work in a satisfactory manner or a clear statement that it will either never happen or won't be a near-term priority. The only real mistake that can be made here, from my viewpoint, is for the company to try to hold on to developers whose needs it will not clearly be able to meet in a reasonable time horizon. This does everyone a disservice. (Note that I'm not saying that's happened here; I don't rely on synthetic speech for my applications so I am not aware of all the history and the issues.) I now return you to your regularly scheduled conversation.

Re: Database Problems w/ Linux Standalones...
Okay, here is an example of what is happening. The attached revolution file contains a button and a text field (used as a debugging log type of thing). Again, I use Studio version 2.2.1 under Mac OS X, and I built three versions of the standalone: Mac OS X, Windows, and Linux. The Windows and Mac OS X versions work as advertised, but the Linux version seems to exit the handlers after dumping the first line of text to the log field. If I comment out the line with the revOpenDatabase and uncomment the second line, then it does not try to connect, so the rest of the script works fine. I could understand better if I was getting an error message back from revOpenDatabase, but *all* running handlers seem to be exiting -- not just the one containing the function call. If it would help, I could *try* to get a Solaris/SPARC or Irix opinion on the issue, but it will take some time, as I will need to set up the hardware (I have those systems disconnected right now), and I don't think I even have Solaris installed on my SparcStation (it would be version 8, on my painfully slow SS LX).

hiliteColor

Of course, it is working just fine on Mac OSX. I just tested the stack on Windows XP, and all fields, buttons, etc. have a hilite color which looks completely black - even worse than the default blue. Why might that be?

Text to Speech in windows
Hi, I have raised this a number of times, most recently with regard to my subscription renewal. I actually bugzilla'd it at least once and it vanished! I thought I had raised it again on Bugzilla. One reason it may not have been voted or marked critical could be its a windows issue. I posted on the potential problem of scoring windows issues with (what seems as) a predominantly mac based list a short while ago. I understand that SAPI 4 can be used, but to me the problem of getting SAPI 4 downloaded through an IT department is orders of magnitude greater than that of QuickTime! I don't think it's really an end user solution. Cheers Steve Tuviah wrote.. SAPI 4 can co-exist with SAPI 5. As it stands I do have code to get text to speech working with SAPI 5, see if I can squeeze it in between now and release.

Re: Text to Speech in windows
Well, I, as a Mac user, for one, do not agree. I was happy when TTS was made available for Windows, as well as when Jonathan made a Windows version of Shakobox. I don't want features to be broken under windows... and this isn't because it affects my bottom line (thin as it is), either. OTOH, consider the perspective of the perhaps typical Mac Rev user: we've become accustomed to such things as TTS and scripted musical notation, and (for others) tying AppleScript to our stacks. To not have these things would be a step backwards for us. Perhaps now that Tuviah is aware of the issue, it will be fixed. That's my hope, anyway...

FTP Download Problem
Gang, I'm trying to download a stack from my server at IPowerWeb using xTalk in an application, It does not throw an error, but, instead, downloads a file with 0 bytes. My xTalk looks something like this: put URL theRemoteURL into URL theLocalURL I can upload with no problems using the same URLs (in reversed positions, of course). If I change my download to an HTTP one, it works flawlessly. These are small to medium sized files, so I don't think that in this case size matters. GRIN I've also tried the libURL call libURLDownloadToFile and get identical results to my script above. I've thought maybe it's the way my server is configured. I've added the mime type for .rev files. I can download files from my server using its own web-based services, so I know it's possible. Thanks, in advance, for any advice.

Tuviah, I did not realize that work had -not- been progressing on text-to-speech for Windws XP (SAPI5). I have started a Bugzilla thread (#2069). The lack of text-to-speech on WindowsXP is all that prevents me from releasing an important app (important to my client and me). I complained about this about a year ago and was told that I could use SAPI4 as a temporary measure until the Rev component for XP text to speech was done. SAPI4 can't be found at Microsoft as they've removed all reference to it. I assumed that it would just be a matter of months so I didn't Bugzilla it nor complain.

Re: Stack is momentarily solid white (flicker) - OSX
Is it possible to set the loc of a stack before it is opened? You should be able to set the loc in preOpenStack. I tried some of that. I guess the issue is not what I thought, but more-so the clone operation itself. It seems very difficult to avoid some kind of flash when a stack is cloned. Here's what I do: BEFORE cloning the stack, set a custom property of the template stack. In this example, I set the cStoredRect of the template to the the rect I want. Then I have this handler in the stack or card script of the template stack: on preOpenStack go invisible to this stack if the cStoredRect of this stack is not empty then set the rect of this stack to the cStoredRect of this stack end preOpenStack After setting the display, I then show the newly cloned stack. This works really well and I get no flickers. Cheers, Sarah ___ use-revolution mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
Re: FTP Download Problem
I'm trying to download a stack from my server at IPowerWeb using xTalk in an application, It does not throw an error, but, instead, downloads a file with 0 bytes. My xTalk looks something like this: put URL theRemoteURL into URL theLocalURL I can upload with no problems using the same URLs (in reversed positions, of course). If I change my download to an HTTP one, it works flawlessly. These are small to medium sized files, so I don't think that in this case size matters. GRIN I've also tried the libURL call libURLDownloadToFile and get identical results to my script above. I've thought maybe it's the way my server is configured. I've added the mime type for .rev files. I can download files from my server using its own web-based services, so I know it's possible. Here's the download handler I use (slightly edited, so not tested in exactly this form): on startDownload pFileName put ftp://; into tURL put fld FTPuser : after tURL put fld FTPpass @ after tURL put fld FTPserver / after tURL put fld FTPfolder / after tURL put pFileName after tURL put fld SaveFolder pFileName into tSaveName set the fileType to libURLDownloadToFile tURL, tSaveName, downloadDone end startDownload downloadDone is the name of the handler that gets called when the download is finished. For testing purposes, I would recommend that you create a log field and use the libURLSetLogField command to have the transcript of the FTP session shown to you. This will tell you where any problem is occurring. Cheers, Sarah ___ use-revolution mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution

Re: revspeech.dll - three questions
Tuviah, When the 2.5 release is ready for public consumption (I don't have it), where would the revspeech.dll file be placed in order to provide the text-to-speech function? Will there be any difference in how I am to code the handler between OSX and XP versions of the distribution? Where may I DL the 2.5 beta?

Jerry, Can you use a libURLSetLogField command and send me the output, we could look for invalid commands or behaviour... I am now deep into ftp and http specs here! I even printed them!

anyone here would use simple httpd or ftpd code?
hi folks, I am building this huge lib for handling netservices like http and ftp. Although I am not near my milestone 1, it's pretty usable so I was wondering if anyone here is really waiting for this and would like a libNetServices Lite version. What it can currently do is: * Serve Pages, both dynamic stacks and static pages. * Serve files by ftp both passive and active ftp. * XML-RPC Server Side. missing parts are: FTP Resume and Upload, Cookie Handling (actually you can read them, not set them right now). hugz andre -- Andre Alves Garzia 2004 Soap Dog Studios - BRAZIL http://studio.soapdog.org ___ use-revolution mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
