Re: Can't read text from file on OS 9
I am pretty sure that there is always some process running under OSX that is not running under OS9. The question is whether this function will return only OS9-specific processes under Classic or all, classic and osx, processes. Can't check at the moment, though. Sorry, I'm coming in a little late here... is the purpose to determine from an application whether it is running in Classic mode or in true OS 9? Or am I missing the question?

Re: Does open process work on OS X now?
Does open process accept parameters on any other platforms? I didn't think it would... Even so, check the docs on open process: they explicitly state that, quote (2.2.1 docs), On OS X systems, you can use the open process command to start up an application, but not a Unix process. Thus I suspect that it is not broken, and not a bug, which is why it was never Bugzilla'd. If you don't need to track the I/O from the process and simply want to start it up without waiting for its completion, you could try this: put shell(my_command/dev/null 21 ) into forgotten_var Otherwise, I'm not sure what you could (easily) use.

Accessing parts of arrays
Hello everyone, In doing some statistical work, it occurred to me that Revolution's arrays would be greatly enhanced if we could access sub-arrays just like we can with itemized and line-delimited lists. For example, in a comma-delimited list of the natural numbers, 1 to 10, we can compute the average of any subset of the numbers using the average() function: put 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10 into x put average(item 1 to 4 of x) \ average(x) \ average(item 1 to 8 of x) --yields 2.5, 5.5 and 4.5. But as far as I know, we cannot refer to element 1 to 4 of array x, and we can only take the average of all the values in x to get 5.5 as below. multiply t by 0 repeat 10 times add 1 to t put t into x[t] end repeat put average(x) -- yields 5.5 Greg ___ use-revolution mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution

Count me in - I've got some presentation stuff and a sourceforge account just waiting.

Binaries won't take advantage of all of CVS features - so it's good to save some or all of the key bits out as text files. Scripts are obviously the key.

How do we manage each other's contributions without overwriting other's work? The technical aspects are simple. The hard part is the sociological side of the workflow. :) Managing teamwork can be simple or complex depending on team size. With the MC IDE project we have fewer than a dozen contributors, and find that simply communicating via the MC discussion list works fine. Feature requests are posted there, and when approved an owner for that task is identified and we all know not to monkey with those parts until the next build. Changes are sent to the project manager (currently me), preferably as cloned out stack files. It's easy to delete the originals from the master copy and clone the stack files in as substacks, and then it gets posted for testing. Because of the simplicity of the workflow, the MC IDE project (and other open source Rev projects like libIPC) can be hosted at Yahoo Groups, since all we really need is a simple place for folks to download builds. If there's a lot of activity and a larger number of contributors, you could consider making your own check-in/check-out system to handle such things. Ken made one in an afternoon for a project he's working on, and I've been tempted to make one for the MC IDE project but just haven't needed it (it would take more time than simply managing it by hand does now). If you're interested in a more complete implementation, Chipp's made a great one with MagicCarpet: http://www.altuit.com/webs/altuit2/MagicCarpetCover/default.htm Some folks like CVS, and while it's great at what it does it's really designed for old-school development workflows involving hundreds of tiny text files. IMHO, with Rev's object model teamwork is best factored along stacks and substacks, and anything more granular just opens up a lot of opportunities for poor factoring and less productive team management. With Rev's built-in FTP and HTTP and the clone command it's not hard to automate stack management if needed. That's the simple stuff; it's the social stuff is where it gets complex. But that's a whole other discussion :) PS - About licenses: I really like the X11 license for a great many reasons that would only take this thread further OT if explored here.

I'm desperate -- my app size exploded and I don't know why!
All, I went to release a new version and my app size exploded from 3.5MB to 7.5MB! I noticed that the increase is due to the fact that my project has increased by that amount. But I don't know what has caused it -- I haven't added any images, or anything that I can think of. Any ideas how I can look for what's taking all the space? I've run Chipp's altCleaner, but that stuff gets removed by the Standalone Builder anyway. And I've tried Klaus 2lz2 stack. What should I be looking for? Properties? Text? It's not images, I know that. Any ideas? Please copy me if you reply because I get the digest version, and I'd love to go to bed sooner than tomorrow morning!

Re: create Profile via script?
Thanks Jeane. I tried that w/o knowing about the Preference option (so it didn't create it). I also found that there is a revNewProfile (undocumented) command that does the same thing. --Leston At 01:07 PM 9/29/2004, you wrote: At 11:33 AM -0600 9/28/2004, Leston Drake wrote: I was wondering (hoping) if there is a command to create a new profile for an object using script.

Re: Dates and rounding problem
David, Revolution does some unusual things with dates. Here are a few of the gotchas I've encountered: 1. Days start at 2 am?!? 2. Days when the local time switches from or to daylight time start at 1 or 3 am? 3. Most days have 86400 seconds - except for the switch from or to daylight time which have 23 or 25 hours worth of seconds? You didn't ask but, no you are not losing your mind.

Re: Accessing parts of arrays
Maybe you could use the intersect command to split out subarrays. Otherwise, remember that you can easily combing an array by comma and then use the average(item 1 to 4 of x) approach.

For example, in a comma-delimited list of the natural numbers, 1 to 10, we can compute the average of any subset of the numbers using the average() function: put 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10 into x put average(item 1 to 4 of x) \ average(x) \ average(item 1 to 8 of x) --yields 2.5, 5.5 and 4.5. But as far as I know, we cannot refer to element 1 to 4 of array x, and we can only take the average of all the values in x to get 5.5 as below. multiply t by 0 repeat 10 times add 1 to t put t into x[t] end repeat put average(x) -- yields 5.5 Greg -- Michael J.

Re: [OT] Wireless remote events? - resolved
Richards comments are pretty spot on IMO Richard Gaskin wrote: Some folks like CVS, and while it's great at what it does it's really designed for old-school development workflows involving hundreds of tiny text files. I like CVS for this reason. I can go to another computer do a cvs checkout and I get the entire development environment with not just Rev stacks but all the html files etc - hundred of them. Also deals with other code - php / python. But the main reason is unlimited undo. I auto-save every few minutes and if I screw up I can go back to anywhere in time. If I'd been doing this in 1988 with HyperCard this could be quite fun :) With Rev's built-in FTP and HTTP and the clone command it's not hard to automate stack management if needed. This is all you need if you are aiming to manage a dozen or so stacks. ___ use-revolution mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
Documentation windows won't appear.
I don't know if I've managed to do something stupid, or if I've run into a bug Rev 2.5 (Dreamcard) on Win2000 : I can't get to see any of the documentation. Each of: - menu Help/Documentation - Ctrl-? - menu Help / Topics - (any choice) - toolbar Documentation - right click on keyword in script editor produce no visible effect, i.e. no documentation window. When I click on the toolbar Documentation it briefly goes bold, then goes back to normal font; the main Rev window loses focus. On the other hand, menu Help / Quick Ref - (any choice) all work fine. Everything else seems to be working. Is there something stupid I could have done (like setting the visible of stack revdocs to false) or is it likely to be a bug ? (I have checked the visible and position/size of stack revdocs - anything else I should check ?) Thanks for any suggestions -- Alex.
