Re: Mac to Windows -- maybe text encoding
At 23:08 25.08.2004 -0600, you wrote: I have a problem that I think is related to text encoding, and I'm looking for suggestions. Here is the issue: (A) I wrote a HyperCard stack years ago to teach the International Phonetic Alphabet to students using games. (B) I used the excellent PalPhon font to display the IPA characters. (C) This year I decided to port the stack to Mac OS X, and hopefully Windows, using RunRev. (D) I switched to a newer font, IPAPhon, built by the original author of PalPhon. It comes in both Mac and Windows TrueType versions; since OS X can use either format, I used the windows TTFs for maximum compatibility). (E) I do all my work on a Mac running OS X, but I have access to RunRev for Windows and a decent Windows 2000 PC. On my Windows XP there is no trace of IPAPhon, so I guess it is not part of the preinstalled fonts. If your students work in a Windows lab, you have to install the font on the computers. I have chosen this strategy: When students have to work with phonetical symbols at home computers, I have always avoided to let them have to install any fonts. Instead I have done the development on the platform with the phonetical font, in this case on Mac. Then - for each symbol I have used Import -- Snapshot to create a small image of it. Voilà, no more need for having phonetical fonts present on either platform. Hope this may give you some ideas to go on with.

Text to Speech in windows
Thanks Tuviah..much appreciated. Judy wrote 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. Of course you are right. Its a target machine issue rather than a developer machine issue anyway. I guess the real reason is we all thought it was in hand anyway.

Re: revspeech.dll - three questions
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? It will replace revspeech.dll in the standard distro and the sapi 4 version will be renamed revspeechold.dll.

Hello, With Hypercard, it was very very simple to dial a phone number ( dial 05 02 00 00 00 for ex with modem ). Only you click with one hand on a button to dial and with other hand you take your téléphone to your ear. Why it is impossible to dial with Revolution ?

Re: writing an OS X package from a custom property
custom prop. Be aware that using zip compression might destroy the data fork of The resource fork, actually. The data fork is what would be retained. An alternative method to solving this problem would be to use array notation (custom property set ?) to read in and store each individual file in the bundle, rather than try to read it as a whole. Bear in mind that this would mean recreating the bundle's internal structure -- directories and all -- when spitting it back out later on. If you are distributing a standalone for OS X, it might be easier to simply copy the needed bundle into the resources folder of your standalone app bundle, then copy it back out when it needs to be installed. ___ $0 Web Hosting with up to 120MB web space, 1000 MB Transfer 10 Personalized POP and Web E-mail Accounts, and much more.

When icons are used, the label should appear in the button's foreground, with the icon in its background, behind the label. This would eliminate the need for the two buttons workaround in many cases.

Table Field features (for v2.5)
Just played with the table field (and locked up the beta when tabbing out of the second column or returning out of the second row). Reviewing the commentary about the requested feature set for this object, I can only point to RB's implementation as what I want. Head over to the RB website to see this. The number of columns and rows are user-defined so no extras are seen hanging over from outside the object's rect (partially scrolled out of view, so to speak). With a small amount of code (about 12 lines), support for returns and tabs selects the content of the next cell (down or across, respectively) and wraps around in a logical manner (to the next row or column, respectively). There is code within RB to populate such a list from a database. Rev, also, has such code. But we should not zero in on this table field as only having a use with databases! Rev's stack-of-cards metaphor permits this object to be quite useful for a number of purposes beyond a vessel for SQL retrieval. Let's consider what might happen when a user tabs into the cell; perhaps it triggers a handler to bring up a choice list (like FileMaker or Access). I realize that feature is a big jump from a simple block of editable cells so I won't request this for v2.5 (maybe 3.5). However, causing a drop-down list or popup menu or even a little modal dialog to appear at the appropriate location is do-able given the current (stable release) state of Rev. What about when a user clicks on (or keyboards into) a cell (whether its contents are editable or not). Such an event (on activate x,y where x,y indicates the cell) could be the trigger for spreadsheet-like calculations (with the existing math functions and plain old Transcript handlers; nothing new required for this). Example: Enter 1000 into a cell, tab out of it, and the adjacent cell gets a new value based upon some handler. Asssuming this cell is not editable (by setting a property in an openCard handler presumably), a tab would skip over this cell and activate the next (in the tab order or whatever we set in a handler or property). Again, I'm not calling for this object to handle hidden formulae (like Excel) so that only the value is displayed; do we really need another Excel or AppleWorks? What I had to do in HyperCard (in 1988) to emulate a multi-column edit field was to line up as many list fields as I required but I could not permit the user to enter any data in the fields; rather, I had to intercept the mouseClick and present a dialog in which the user could enter the data for each cell. I was finally able to improve the interface to a larger dialog which would permit a row at a time worth of data. Haven't we progessed in 16 years? Well, considering the v2.5 Rev beta, it looks like we're getting there. So I really hope people won't look at this posting as a diatribe nor as a series of complaints; rather, this is a list of suggestions. It is entirely possible that 2.5beta has the on activate type of handler for a cell but I haven't been able to get much out of this object in the beta yet.

RE: RevZilla - What Should Be Done Next?
Ken, Well, I've got 3 that are all equally important. :) Either make the bug display form wider or make it remember its size when I change it. Needed because, at least on my system, line breaks in the description seem to be hard coded, so then of course your line wrapping doesn't really reformat it properly to better fit the space. Add Version to the bug list table. To help with conserving space, you could get rid of the Priority column (no one hardly uses it - almost all of them are P2). Need a way to easily select a range of choices from the drop-down lists in search. On bugzilla I can do this by clicking on one entry then shift-clicking on another to select all entries in between. This is useful for, lets say, quickly selecting all versions except 2.5.

It does not teach the students from scratch, the teacher does that. Instead it gives the students practice with the concept so they can feel comfortable with it and remember it. The stacks cover many high school subjects and could be adapted to lower grades. I also have stacks written in HyperStudio if anyone is interested in those. I have included the .rev stack and the standalone for Windows. If there is interest in my type of stacks, perhaps I can post them one at a time. Feel free to contact me off list too if you want.

Is it possible to print all records ( two records in one paper) straight from the database in Revolution v 2.xx? I need to put information in card like in to traditional form. The short answer is yes, but the longer answer is what needs to be done in order to get what you're looking for. Revolution has a simple structure for printing sets of cards to the printer, but for a more serious reporting package, we'll have to wait a short time - a third party is in the final stages of a full blown reporting product for Revolution and this will certainly allow you to do what you are asking for more easily. Prior to the reporting package being released, you can do it, but it takes more work to set up and test. Other question is, if it's possible to print to the custom sized paper from the revolution (from the database records)? And what is the procedure with both printing cases? Revolution allows you to build printable areas as large or as small as you like, so you'd just have to design a card so that it wasn't too large for your paper.

Re: grid-like control
Why re-invent the wheel? This sounds just like the RB multi-column edit field although you don't have an option for entering functions (and seeing values). In RB you also have checkboxes that may be used for a column in this object. The RB implementation of this object is exactly what we need in Rev (IMHO). However, to carry this thought experiment a bit further, perhaps a hidden column could contain the formulae which would display its result in the column to its right? Just a thought.

Yes, I know you can select multiple entries, but it's not a easy, quick way to select a lot of entries. In my example, to select all versions except the 2.5 ones, you have to individually select the 18 non-2.5 choices from the version popup. I don't know of anyone who wants to sit there and do that. So what's needed is a feature like the one on bugzilla (which is really just a feature of popups/dropdowns in web forms), where you can shift-click to select a whole range of choices. If that's not easy to do, then maybe a checkbox or button to invert the selection, e.g., select the 2.5 choices, then select invert which would invert or reverse the checkmarks on all entries in that field. Another feature which would also help alleviate this tedious multiple-selection problem would be the ability to save search criteria. So then I could just call up a saved search, maybe modify it a little, and run it. Of course, this is a worthy feature on its own, no matter if you fix the multiple selection problem or not.
