You really should ask this in a basic C group or list as it not only
has nothing to do with Rev but actually has nothing to do with
ProjectBuilder (or Xcode which is what you should be using) or, for
that matter, isn't really a linker error. (It is also hard to give
help when you don't give us the error messages but the immediate error
is fairly obvious in the above).
Having said that, the problem in your example is that itoa() is NOT
part of the standard lib and a basic search of stdlib.h will tell you
that it is not declared there. If you try to build this code in
CodeWarrior, with the standard settings, you will get a compile time
error for failing to declare itoa. (I don't know what Visual Studio
will do; they may have defined itoa() in the environment; if not, then
you will get some kind of error there but it could be a compiler error
like CW or a linker error like Xcode.) In XCode (and I assume PB but
its been awhile since I've used it) the standard settings will permit
the code to compile but then the linker complains that you haven't
defined atoi and I assume this is what the error message you are
getting tells you. You can test that the std library is in fact being
linked simply by commenting out the itoa line and the code should link
even though you have a call to calloc() which is in the standard
library.

Re: responding to clicks in QT wired sprites?
Hi Richard, Is there any way to translate clicks on wired sprites inside a QT movie to Revolution? I know there's a hotSpotClicked message for QTVRs, but I don't know if that's also sent with clicks on wired sprites. There is a qtdebugstring message that can be used... This is reliable but requires that the movies are created accordingly, means does not work right out of the box... If not, Trevor, you got something for that in your QT externals? Check: qtExecuteSpriteEvent and qtGetSpriteVariable in the external, but this also requires that the movies are prepared accordingly... Hope that helps...

After checking on the Apple site, the function itoa is not included in

Copying Menus
It strikes me that this should be easy but I'm a dolt and can't figure it out. Nor can I find anything in the documentation (one more voice in the wilderness: the documentation is great for looking up specific Transcript elements but stinks for figuring out how to use the development environment). I have a project based on three related stacks (at this point, they are arranged as a main stack and two substacks in a single file) which is intended to run exclusively under OS X (which matters only because the menus are intended to only be at the top of the screen and no space has been left in any of the stacks for a menu bar on the card). All three have related but slightly different menus. What I would like to do is, having developed my menus for the main stack, to be able to copy that menubar group from the main stack to the other two stacks where I want to be able to edit them without having to recreate the menus and their scripts from scratch for each substack. I can copy the main stack's group by temporarily making it a windows style menu (on the card) selecting the group and copying it and then restoring the main stack's menu to the top of the screen. I can then paste this into the substack but, of course, it appears on the card and when I set it to be at the top of the screen, Rev moves my content up. Problem, of course is that I didn't forsee a problem in copying the menu bar so I didn't leave space at the top of the card and I'm losing part of my content. I've tried variations of this some of which at least show the menus but Menu Builder won't edit them. I thought I might be able to copy and pasting the original menu bar group from the Application Browser but this doesn't seem to be permitted: when I paste the group, regardless of what is selected and displayed in the Browser, a second copy of the group is placed in the original stack.

Hello Rick, I haven't tried it yet, but my gut feel on tokens is that they shouldn't be any more cumbersome than in FileMaker. In FM, if you haven't assigned user names and passwords to your clients, you have to use tokens to track them, and that means inserting a token tag in every html page they might visit. I figure that tokens can be handled in Revolution through a log-in or sign up stack that has some personal identification, such as a serial number that can be passed to each page. My disappointment with FM, as I've expressed previously on this list, is that it is expensive (I can't afford to dish out another $1,500, or whatever the amount, to upgrade from Unlimited to Server Advanced) and, more importantly, the inflexibility of its scripting. I've been tinkering with 4D and finding it quite powerful, but also discovering that the learning curve is steeper than it ought to be. I always find myself coming back to Revolution or MetaCard. I'll let you know when I've completed my first web-based Revolution project. Perhaps some of you may want to critique it. While I'm here, I do have another question for anyone out there with Revolution cgi experience, and this concerns the speed with which a Revolution cgi returns a result the first time it is called by a client. My first search of Fiction Search takes a long time, say, thirty seconds, to return a page of hits. Subsequent searches are completed in the blink of an eye. Is this a client-side or server-side thing? In other words, will all visitors to my projects experience a potentially confusing slow first response, or is it just a matter of me somehow priming or loading the Revolution engine into memory on my server in advance, so that it's ready for visitors?

Re: Multiprocessing proposed solution
Kevin, Wow... that's hard... I solved some issues with multiprocessing in the new instance of HTTPd, I think it works, the only problem is that if some handler on user stack blocks, then I think the whole server will block, but at least we can listen and answer to multiple sockets at the same time. Theres a ServerWorkz RC2 2.zip inside http://public.soapdog.org that can do this kind of stuff. The new version libNetServices, is a hell better, it's a complete rewrite and it's not available till I solve FTP upload and the inform engine... I really would like to see this external you made we could make a rock solid webserver using fork() like stuff and semaphores... for now, libNetServices is a pure transcript solution, but I could fork the codebase and open it so that other developers with more experience with C code and externals could help. Your effort is very welcome! You'll be the first to receive a libNetServices T-Shirt when I am finished making them! (yes, I am making them...)

At first glance it seemed impossible nut through trial and error I have a semi-functional solution. I created a external wich is using a named sockets, pipes, mutexes, semaphores, events and even shared memory. Here is the break down Process A (Parent) Process B (Child) Process 'A' using the sockets library in the GLIBExternal creates and listens on a selected port (in my case 80). Process 'A' accepts the call on a named socket. Then shell invokes process 'B' with the command line option --socket named socket (you can use any name you like) process B can now read and write to the named socket using the GLIBExternal socket interface. Process A and B can then cordinate their activities via named mutexes, semaphoes, events and shared memory blocks. Of course Process A must uniquely name each socket and provided that name to the GLIBExternal as well as the child process (demostrated below). I have not worked out the kinks of the shared memory on all platforms but I should be able to solve them in time. The implementation on Win32 is easier on Win32 and Linux since I am a experienced developer on those platforms.

Status Window Questions
I'm trying to implement a status window in an app I'm building. I'd like to user to click a Process button and have the app open a status window indicating the status of the stuff they are processing (with a progress bar, cancel button, and other useful information). The main script for the processing is located in a sub stack where the main interface is located. I thought I could just open the status stack, have a button on that stack that sets a global to cancel the process, and have the processing script check the global each time it processes an item. Here's basically what the processing script looks like: repeat with x = 1 to theNumberOfItems global gCancelStuff processStuff theItem if gCancelStuff is true then exit to top end repeat The problem is the script prevents all interaction to buttons until it has completed processing all of the items. Is there a way to script it so the Cancel button can be clicked (and the process aborted)? Is there an example stack somewhere I can learn from? Thanks in advance. -- Dave ___ use-revolution mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution

The use of insert script is much like the use of libraries - you place an entire script in the message passing hierarchy, but *after* the normal stacks receive the message. This allows you to trap messages that other object have not trapped (if you insert into the back - a backScript), or to trap messages before they hit their intended target (if you insert into the front - a frontScript). This applies to all open stacks and substacks - backscripts are behind every stack, and frontScripts are in front of every stack. The reason you're getting what you're getting is that when a stack opens, a number of messages are triggered (openCard, preOpenCard, openStack, preOpenStack, etc.), and so if the stack that opens doesn't trap all of these (and most don't), they will make their way up (it's how I visualize it) the message passing hierarchy and eventually hit the backscript which will get it and activate it. In your case, it's the openStack message. Personally, I would put the common handlers and functions into another object and insert *its* script into the back. I commonly do this with a button called BS (for backscript) or FS (for frontscript) as in: insert the script of btn BS into back HTH, Ken Ray Sons of Thunder Software Web site: http://www.sonsothunder.com/ Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ use-revolution mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution

Encryption Prime Numbers
from here: http://www.guardian.co.uk/uk_news/story/0,3604,1298728,00.html The Riemann hypothesis would explain the apparently random pattern of prime numbers - numbers such as 3, 17 and 31, for instance, are all prime numbers: they are divisible only by themselves and one. Prime numbers are the atoms of arithmetic. They are also the key to internet cryptography: in effect they keep banks safe and credit cards secure. This year Louis de Branges, a French-born mathematician now at Purdue University in the US, claimed a proof of the Riemann hypothesis. So far, his colleagues are not convinced. They were not convinced, years ago, when de Branges produced an answer to another famous mathematical challenge, but in time they accepted his reasoning. This time, the mathematical community remains even more sceptical. The proof he has announced is rather incomprehensible. Now mathematicians are less sure that the million [prize-see full article] has been won, Prof du Sautoy said. The whole of e-commerce depends on prime numbers. I have described the primes as atoms: what mathematicians are missing is a kind of mathematical prime spectrometer. Chemists have a machine that, if you give it a molecule, will tell you the atoms that it is built from. Mathematicians haven't invented a mathematical version of this. That is what we are after. If the Riemann hypothesis is true, it won't produce a prime number spectrometer. But the proof should give us more understanding of how the primes work, and therefore the proof might be translated into something that might produce this prime spectrometer. If it does, it will bring the whole of e-commerce to its knees, overnight. So there are very big implications. I fail to see the relationship between a 32 bit word, bitXOR, and random padded cypher block chaining having to do anything with Prime Numbers. As far as Blowfish goes there doesn't look like there are any connections to prime numbers. Perhaps AES openSSL 128 bit encryption is based on random prime numbers. Any guesses as to how the above information can be considered useful beyond the scope of it being a new internet urban legend?

Re: Print - A4 - wysiwyg
I do a lot of printing with government forms that I change from a PDF to a

resolution of print-out). I experimented with .gif too.
My print command looks like this:
set the printmargins to 0,0,0,0
open printing with dialog
print card from 0,0 to 612,792
close printing
And even though the card is much smaller than the image it prints exactly
the size of the 8.5 X 11 page that the PDF was made for. It would be
wonderful if we could use the PDF directly but...

So to generate a suitable private key, you generate a number of primes, and multiply them together; if someone could easily decompose that, they would be a large part of the way towards discovering your private key. More mathematically, but less understandably ... RSA is a public-key cryptosystem for both encryption and authentication; it was invented in 1977 by Ron Rivest, Adi Shamir, and Leonard Adleman. It works as follows: take two large primes, p and q, and find their product n = pq; n is called the modulus. Choose a number, e, less than n and relatively prime to (p-1)(q-1), which means that e and (p-1)(q-1) have no common factors except 1. Find another number d such that (ed - 1) is divisible by (p-1)(q-1). The values e and d are called the public and private exponents, respectively. The public key is the pair (n,e); the private key is (n,d). The factors p and q maybe kept with the private key, or destroyed. It is difficult (presumably) to obtain the private key d from the public key (n,e). If one could factor n into p and q, however, then one could obtain the private key d. Thus the security of RSA is related to the assumption that factoring is difficult. An easy factoring method or some other feasible attack would break RSA. Here is how RSA can be used for privacy and authentication (in practice, the actual use is slightly different: RSA privacy (encryption): Suppose Alice wants to send a message m to Bob. Alice creates the ciphertext c by exponentiating: c = me mod n, where e and n are Bob's public key. She sends c to Bob. To decrypt, Bob also exponentiates: m = cd mod n; the relationship between e and d ensures that Bob correctly recovers m. Since only Bob knows d, only Bob can decrypt. RSA authentication: Suppose Alice wants to send a message m to Bob in such a way that Bob is assured that the message is authentic and is from Alice. Alice creates a digital signature s by exponentiating: s = md mod n, where d and n are Alice's private key. She sends m and s to Bob. To verify the signature, Bob exponentiates and checks that the message m is recovered: m = se mod n, where e and n are Alice's public key. Thus encryption and authentication take place without any sharing of private keys : each person uses only other people's public keys and his or her own private key. Anyone can send an encrypted message or verify a signed message, using only public keys, but only someone in possession of the correct private key can decrypt or sign a message.

Thanks, Hershel The reason you're getting what you're getting is that when a stack opens, a number of messages are triggered (openCard, preOpenCard, openStack, preOpenStack, etc.), and so if the stack that opens doesn't trap all of these (and most don't), they will make their way up (it's how I visualize it) the message passing hierarchy and eventually hit the backscript which will get it and activate it. In your case, it's the openStack message. Personally, I would put the common handlers and functions into another object and insert *its* script into the back. I commonly do this with a button called BS (for backscript) or FS (for frontscript) as in: insert the script of btn BS into back HTH, Ken Ray Sons of Thunder Software Web site: http://www.sonsothunder.com/ Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ use-revolution mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution ___ use-revolution mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution

problems with ftp
Hi, everyone. I'm having a vexing problem with ftp-downloading a series of files in a repeat loop. I need to download three files. The loop is very simple, something akin to: repeat with counter = 1 to 3 put decompress(url ftpPath/filecounter.gz) into temp put temp into fld counter end repeat The ftp commands are straightforward, but what happens is that the first file gets put in the third field, and the other fields aren't updated. So it seems like the put command _isn't_ blocking. What can I do to fix this? I'm still using rev 2.2.

Re: Download videos? (OT: What is Labor Day)
Pierre, Labor Day is a national holiday in the US to celebrate working Americans. It traditionally marks the end of the summer, just as Memorial Day--late in May-- (remembering all those who died in the service of our country) marks the start of summer. Quoting from the department of Labor website http://www.dol.gov/opa/aboutdol/laborday.htm : Labor Day, the first Monday in September, is a creation of the labor movement and is dedicated to the social and economic achievements of American workers. It constitutes a yearly national tribute to the contributions workers have made to the strength, prosperity, and well-being of our country. There's lots more information on how Labor Day came about at the above URL if you are interested.

Re: lock up a stack
I do the following at the very end of development to ensure that all field text is locked. The second loop ensures that all fields are not focusable, either. To lock text in all fields and make the fields not focusable create a button on card 1 with the following script on mouseUp repeat with j = 1 to the number of cards go card j repeat with x = 1 to the number of fields set the lockText of field x to true end repeat end repeat repeat with j = 1 to the number of cards go card j repeat with x = 1 to the number of fields set the traversalOn of field x to false --make field not focusable end repeat end repeat end mouseUp Once the scripts have executed, just delete the button from cd 1.

Re: Copying Menus
Hi James, I suggest making a separate sub-stack and MOVING your original menu group to it, where it can be set to non-Mac style for easy editing. If you call it Menu1, then in your main stack's preOpenStack handler, you can say: set the menuBar of this stack to Menu1 Back to the menu editing stack, duplicate the group, edit the new one as you see fit, call it Menu2 or whatever you like, and use the same type of script to set the menubar for stack 2. I have given up using the Mac-style menus in favor of having them in separate stacks. It makes them easier to edit and I don't have any problems with the objects being relocated or the stack window being resized.

Nor can I find anything in the documentation (one more voice in the wilderness: the documentation is great for looking up specific Transcript elements but stinks for figuring out how to use the development environment). I have a project based on three related stacks (at this point, they are arranged as a main stack and two substacks in a single file) which is intended to run exclusively under OS X (which matters only because the menus are intended to only be at the top of the screen and no space has been left in any of the stacks for a menu bar on the card). All three have related but slightly different menus. What I would like to do is, having developed my menus for the main stack, to be able to copy that menubar group from the main stack to the other two stacks where I want to be able to edit them without having to recreate the menus and their scripts from scratch for each substack. I can copy the main stack's group by temporarily making it a windows style menu (on the card) selecting the group and copying it and then restoring the main stack's menu to the top of the screen. I can then paste this into the substack but, of course, it appears on the card and when I set it to be at the top of the screen, Rev moves my content up. Problem, of course is that I didn't forsee a problem in copying the menu bar so I didn't leave space at the top of the card and I'm losing part of my content. I've tried variations of this some of which at least show the menus but Menu Builder won't edit them. I thought I might be able to copy and pasting the original menu bar group from the Application Browser but this doesn't seem to be permitted: when I paste the group, regardless of what is selected and displayed in the Browser, a second copy of the group is placed in the original stack. ___ use-revolution mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
