Re: Windows standalone two handlers separated

2004-12-08 Thread Andrew
Thanks, Klaus, for getting back to me about my Windows standalone issue.
Making a standalone that works in Windows has been such a problem for 
me!  I can't believe there's not more uproar about this.  Stuff just 
doesn't work like it's supposed to and often the symptoms don't help 
you pinpoint the cause.

Anyway, I implemented your idea. Specifically I wrote
send "parttwo" to btn "instructions" of cd 1 of this stack
 Is this okay?  (Because I couldn't figure out the name of my stack, 
stupid as that my sound.  When I typed "answer the stack name" and such 
things, I just got errors.)
Anyway, the problem still persists with my standalone.  But perhaps it 
was a different problem to begin with.  The weird thing is, before I 
implemented this change it seemed like the standalone was only reading 
the first portion of my script, not the second (like I described 
before).  WITH this change, it's not working at all.

I don't see why a parameter is preferable over a global variable, but I 
implemented that suggestion anyway.  It worked fine in the development 
environment, but again no nothing on the windows standalone.  Perhaps 
there is some other error going on, but I can't figure it out at all.

Again, the symptom is that the Windows standalone won't put text in the 
card field like its supposed to, but I suspect that might be 
symptomatic of something unrelated since that's been the case with 
other Windows standalone problems that I've had.

Sorry for the pestering.
I really appreciate your help!

Hi Andrew,
I've got another clue about why my windows standalone is not working.
Okay, my script into two halves-- one in the card script and one in
the script of a button.  At the end if the card script section it says
send parttwo to card button "instructions"
...And I made sure to put all of the relevant local variables (only 1)
into a global variable, so that it could be accessed in the script of
the card button "instructions".
You could even send that local var as a parameter to your button, see
below...
However, It seems as though my standalone is only running the card
script section, and then not going to the script of cd btn
"instructions".  Is there any known error that Windows standalones
have with, as in this case, one handler calling a handler that's
located elsewhere?
If you specify the exact location of the button it will work!
Like:
...
send "parttwo" to btn "name here" of cd x ## of stack y
## if the button is inanother stack...
...
Please note the quotes!
Or with the above mentioned parameter:
local varname
on xyz
send "parttwo varname" to btn "name here" of cd x
...
And in the button:
on parttwo whattheheck
## do something with whattheheck
...
Make sure that "varname" is not empty! ;-)

The proposals so far only test the first character of the string.  If you

function uppercase ofText
  set the caseSensitive to true
  repeat for each char ch in "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz"
if ch is among the chars of ofText then return false

H - that says that "ABC DEF" is not uppercase (because of the space in 
the middle).

function isUpperCase pText
  set caseSensitive to true
  return (pText = upper(pText))

Not that that's perfect either - the problem is there are 4 (or 5) possible 
results
  upper case
  lower case
  word case
  mixed case
  no case (i.e. no letters)
so deciding just which ones to include as "isUpperCase" is a 
context-dependent choice.

"First to invent" rather than "first to file" is the
rule in the U.S.

If (and its a big if) the PageFlex patent does overlap
with rev's geometry manager, it would be necessary to
show that RR (or their hypercard ancestors), were
actually using or selling such a thing publicly, prior
to the priority date of PageFlex's patent (this would
normally be the data of first filing of any
provisional patent - looks to me like 1999 from the
issued patent).

Are you trying to test the first letter only, or the entire string?  
The proposals so far only test the first character of the string.  If 
you need the whole thing to be uppercase:

function uppercase ofText
  set the caseSensitive to true
  repeat for each char ch in "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz"
if ch is among the chars of ofText then return false
  end repeat
  return true
end uppercase
Now you can do things like:
if uppercase(ofText) then
  -- whatever
end if
or to test the first char of each word:
function wordcase ofText
  set the caseSensitive to true
  repeat for each word w in ofText
if char 1 of w is among the chars of "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz" 
then return false
  end repeat
  return true
end wordcase

and similarly,
if wordcase(ofText) then
  -- do something
end if

Re: DreamCard Player does not "play" my app

2004-12-08 Thread Sarah Reichelt
It's possible that the rev file got damaged during emailing unless you 
compressed it first. I recommend always zipping, stuffing or gzipping 
any stacks before emailing, just in case.

Try using the DreamCard player at home to open the stack and see if 
that make any difference. The only other idea I have concerns the 
internet library. Is it possible that the DreamCard player doesn't have 
this, or that it needs some initialization?

Agreed.
A good player is the second most important external communications tool 
after their web site.  They wouldn't let the web site lie broken, and 
hopefully they're prioritizing fixes to the player accordingly.
You would think so, wouldn't you.
Please send feedback to RunRev on what you need from a player that isn't 
currently addressed, and post bug reports to Bugzilla.
I posted BZ 2138 on the 4th of September; and it's still languishing in 
"Unconfirmed" state. It is described (NOT by me) in a comment as an 
enhancement - so I'm guessing it will stay in that state for some time. The 
bug says, in effect, that you can't run a stack in Dreamcard Player by 
double-clinking on the stack file (on Windows).  I would have, and indeed 
still do, think that being able to do that (i.e. run it like every other 
Windows app in the world). should be regarded as an essential ability.

[ detail - you *can* run a stack by double-clicking it - but the cursor 
will be invisible. Makes most programs fairly difficult or impossible to 
use. So I think it's fair to describe this as "in effect, you can't run a 
stack by " ]

The player is critical to the core mission.  It would be better not to 
have one at all than one that's weak enough to motivate folks to build 
their own.  Let's hope that doesn't have to happen:  with your feedback 
there's an opportunity to spruce it up into something you'll enjoy using.
I've given my feed back - over 3 months ago - and have yet to see any 
meaningful response.
In the meantime, I simply ignore the existence of the player, and continue 
to build standalones to distribute. Don't know what I'd do if I didn't 
still have Rev 2.2

Windows printing

I'm hoping someone can save me from having to do a lot of printing tests 
from my Windows machine. Right now I don't have a printer hooked up there.

There used to be a problem with Windows when using revPrintText where 
the printing font and spacing was rendered oddly -- either tiny 6-point 
text, or wildly erratic line spacing, or both.

Does anyone know if this has been fixed in recent releases of Revolution?

RE: interesting patent

2004-12-08 Thread MisterX
way back in industrial economics we learned that
all patents are contournable... and since their
life is limited... 

What protection is there?
- 1st comers get 35% of the market
- barriers to entry (heavy duty investments in finacial or technogical
terms)

When I was writing my quantum codec algoritm I
found out a worldwide patent is worth 100,000 $/EUs... 

who, here, can affort that?

But if you get one client, it can be worth it...
Besides, the method is restricted to xml and some
obscure process. Just show prior art to save your
ass and voila. Patents are however legally defendeable

Re: interesting patent

2004-12-08 Thread Gordon
There seem to be some misconceptions about what
patents are for:

A U.S. patent as defined in section 35 of the U.S.
code does NOT assure the inventors of the right to
practice. It guarantees their exclusivity to practice
within the scope of the patent claims, for the
lifetime of the patent. 

If that sounds confusing, here's a real-world example
that I am personally familiar with:

The use of a particular, naturally ocurring protein
for treating a given disease is covered by someone
else's patent, but I modify the protein (in some
non-obvious way) such that in addition to treating the
disease, it now has some new properties (perhaps it is
less toxic or it tastes like strawberries). It is a
new form of matter with novel properties and therefore
patentable. 

However, I would still need to obtain a license for
the original patent to use my own modified protein for
treating the disease in question, since that utility
falls under the scope of their claims. The original
patent holders would in turn have to license my patent
to be able to use my new protein to treat this same
disease, so that their improved treatment could
benefit from the properties of being less toxic or
tasting like strawberries, which are covered under the
scope of my claims.

This actually happens all the time in the
biotechnology sector.

I hope this is helpful

RE: interesting patent

2004-12-08 Thread Lynch, Jonathan
My understanding is that for many, the point of getting a patent is not
even to prevent others from using the technology - it may well be too
broadly defined or have other problems. However, if you have a patent,
it guarantees your right to use what you patented - so others cannot
patent the idea later and (if they win in court) keep you from using it.

Hello again! and thank you for your responses! I have some questions
about how to actually implement your suggestions:
Jacqueline Gay, you said:

What is preOpenCard/Stack and how do I access these items to change
them?
OpenStack and PreOpenStack are system messages that are sent whenever a 
stack opens. You can look up these terms in the dictionary. Just as 
mouseUp is a system message that is sent whenever the user clicks the 
mouse, you can write an openStack or preOpenStack handler to catch those 
events too. Whatever commands you place into these handlers will execute 
when the stack opens.

You can also look up the "platform" function in the dictionary. This 
function tells you what OS is running. You would check the platform to 
see if your stack is running on a Windows or Mac machine, and make font 
changes as needed depending on the OS.

For example:
on preOpenStack
 put the platform into pPlat
 if pPlat = "win32" then
   set the textsize of fld 1 of cd 1 to 12
 else if pPlat = "macos" then
   set the textsize of fld 1 of cd 1 to 14
 end if
end preOpenStack
You'll want to expand the text-setting commands to match your stack 
requirements. This handler will run every time the stack opens.

Re: interesting patent

2004-12-08 Thread Gordon
Dear Revolutionaries

I have glanced over this patent at the USPTO's web
site. The original filing seems to date back to
November 1999 and the 74 claims describe a flexible
document layout system that outwardly resembles the
kind of sequential, nested, vertical and horizontal
layout controls of the kind used by the GTK graphics
interface. In addition to altering the geometry of the
components on the page, there are dependent claims
that also allow for alteration of the form and
contents of each component.

As examples of the scope of the patent, claims 1 & 8
are interesting - I have reproduced them below.

NB: I am NOT an attorney NOR am I a patent agent so
all opinions expressed herein are utterly worthless
and are for entertainment purposes only (Yikes! I
sound like one of those Psychic Hotlines -
1-800-YOUR-DESTINY)

Best

Gordon


Here is claim 1:
1. A computerized method of laying out a document
containing a combination of text and shape elements,
said method comprising:

providing a user interface with controls for enabling
a user to:

place a sequence box, which has a sequencing axis, in
the document;

cause one or more shape elements to be located in the
sequence box;

cause a shape element, including one in the sequence
box having at least one text or shape element as
contents, to have a minimize property in at least one
dimension; and

cause a shape element, including one in the sequence
box, to have a maximize property in at least one
dimension; and

performing an automatic layout process in which
elements of the document are laid out onto a
2-dimensional area in which each such element is given
a precise position and size, including:

arranging shape elements, if any, placed within the
sequence box in a sequence along the sequence box's
sequencing axis;

minimizing the size given to any shape element which
has the minimize property in a given dimension,
including any shape element within the sequence box,
by making the element as small as its contents, if
any, will allow in the given dimension, over a given
length range; and

maximizing the size given to any shape element which
has the maximize property in a given dimension by
making the element expand to encompass space available
in the given dimension, over a given length range,
said maximizing including, if the maximized shape
element is within the sequence box, expanding it to
encompass space available within the sequence box.

Here is the dependent claim 8:
8. A method as in claim 1 wherein:

said interface is a WYSIWYG graphical user interface
which allows a user to select the placement of said
sequence box and the shape elements within it,
including allowing a user to use a pointing device to
create, position and size said shape elements; and

said layout process is performed interactively in
response to changes made to the document by the user
with said graphical user interface, to enable the user
to see a screen display of the layout of the document
showing any changes the user has just made to the
document.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)Pageflex (NASDAQ:BITS)
(www.pageflex.com), the leading provider of variable data publishing 
and Web-to-print
technology, today announced that the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office 
has awarded a
patent for Pageflex's flexible template technology.

 Pageflex template technology enables a document layout to "flex,"
accommodating variable content within sophisticated designer-specified 
guidelines. The
Pageflex XML-based composition engine handles page content (text and 
images)
separate from page form (layout). When the length or size of custom 
content is
different than the size of the box the content is flowing into, the 
box can
expand in either the horizontal or vertical direction (or both), to 
accommodate
the content. Designer-specified rules determine the maximum and minimum
dimensions, as well as behavior of the surrounding elements on the 
page. The result
is the ability to define sophisticated templates that accommodate a 
wide range
of variable content by flexing the page layout. Pageflex's U.S. patent
includes all of these capabilities as well as additional claims for 
related
capabilities.

 "Pageflex solutions are founded on our unique flexible template 
technology,"
said Anna Chagnon, Pageflex CEO. "Receiving this patent is an important

It's listed as a column in the Application Browser (at least it is in

It is also displayed in the property inspector for the clip.
Or you may check the 'size' property of the audio clip.
All of these give values in bytes.

after their web site.  They wouldn't let the web site lie broken, and 
hopefully they're prioritizing fixes to the player accordingly.

Please send feedback to RunRev on what you need from a player that isn't 
currently addressed, and post bug reports to Bugzilla.

The player is critical to the core mission.  It would be better not to 
have one at all than one that's weak enough to motivate folks to build 
their own.  Let's hope that doesn't have to happen:  with your feedback 
there's an opportunity to spruce it up into something you'll enjoy using.

Re: interesting patent

2004-12-08 Thread Meitnik
U.S. Patent Awarded for Pageflex's Flexible Template Technology

CAMBRIDGE, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)Pageflex (NASDAQ:BITS) 
(www.pageflex.com), the leading provider of variable data publishing and 
Web-to-print 
technology, today announced that the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office has 
awarded a 
patent for Pageflex's flexible template technology. 

 Pageflex template technology enables a document layout to "flex," 
accommodating variable content within sophisticated designer-specified 
guidelines. The 
Pageflex XML-based composition engine handles page content (text and images) 
separate from page form (layout). When the length or size of custom content is 
different than the size of the box the content is flowing into, the box can 
expand in either the horizontal or vertical direction (or both), to accommodate 
the content. Designer-specified rules determine the maximum and minimum 
dimensions, as well as behavior of the surrounding elements on the page. The 
result 
is the ability to define sophisticated templates that accommodate a wide range 
of variable content by flexing the page layout. Pageflex's U.S. patent 
includes all of these capabilities as well as additional claims for related 
capabilities. 

 "Pageflex solutions are founded on our unique flexible template technology," 
said Anna Chagnon, Pageflex CEO. "Receiving this patent is an important 
milestone as we accelerate on our growth plan, ensuring protection for our 
innovations that help our customers compete successfully."

Smatofactly (snippet for as a matter of fact), many of the links I visit
miss about 80% of the links related to RunRev. Very fu have taken the time
to just fill in 17 addresses at most! It's shameful compared to the help and

Sorry, I lacked clarity.  Two separate things.

- I have users actually running OS 9 for some of my tools.  I need to build
them a 'Classic' standalone.  The problem is I can't easily test it since my
development machine is MacOS X.  I sometimes literally have to reboot into
Classic - and when this machine packs up (can't be much longer now) I won't
even have that option.  Currently the weird situation is that I can more
easily test my Windows standalones (using VPC) than I can Classic ones.

- entirely separate, there are issues such as the - now fixed! - inability
to use file extensions in OS X, the consequences of which have been noted
and complained of by my users; to who I've given exactly the response that
Tuviah has had to for #2212.

RE: Battery testing, volume booster

2004-12-08 Thread Lynch, Jonathan
Can the volume boost be affected through VBScript, C, or Jscript?

If so, you could maybe create a script in Rev that does the following:

1) Checks to see if the relevant .vbs file (or whichever language you
use) is located in the same folder as your stack

2) if it is not found, then writes a .vbs file with the necessary
VBScript code

3) uses the shell command with the CScript command-line command to run
the VBScript

I am working on something like this to force a window to always stay on
the bottom level. I think this is probably a very difficult approach,
with many opportunities for odd problems - but it might work if nothing
else does.

Convert the whole field ascii to unicode.
Maybe this is the one of workarounds.
AsciiToUni was made by Kiyoshi Kamogawa.
on asciiToUni pFldName, pLang
  if pLang is "" then
put ",japanese" into pLang
  end if
  put number of lines of fld pFldName into tNumOfLines
  lock screen
  repeat with i=1 to tNumOfLines
put 0 into tNumOfChars
repeat with h=1 to (number of chars of line i of fld pFldName)
  if (textFont of char h of line i of fld pFldName) contains "," 
then
put tNumOfChars + 2 into tNumOfChars
put h + 1 into h
  else
put tNumOfChars + 2 into tNumOfChars
  end if
end repeat
repeat with j=1 to tNumOfChars
  if (textFont of char j of line i of fld pFldName) contains "," 
then
put j + 1 into j
  else
set useUnicode to true
put uniEncode(char j of line i of fld pFldName) into tUniChar
put tUniChar into char j of line i of fld pFldName
set textFont of char j to j+1 of line i of fld pFldName to pLang

Result is that all the text from the unicode character to the end of

Hell
Goodbye.

I can construct the desired behaviour by inserting the character after 
the

text
Hello, world.
Goodbye.

then execute the statements
put "ō" into x
set the htmlText of char 5 of fld 1 to x
Then I get the desired appearance.  I then ask for the htmlText of the 
whole
field, I get the string I started with, that is
Hellō, world.Goodbye.

In other words, setting the htmlText of the field to the htmlText of

Is there a workaround?

set the unicodeText of fld 1 to the unicodeText of fld 1
doesn't change the text (but of course it does change any style

so this isn't by itself a solution to my problem.)

Also note, attempted workaround: explicitly changing the font of the 
next
character works, ie setting the field to:

Hellō,
world.Goodbye.
so forcing the comma that immediately follows o-macron back to english
works; but this isn't a great solution in my general case, as the next
character might be anything - a plain character, another unicode

opening of another markup tag.  Coding for the general case would be a 
real
PITA.  (I also tried just using the font tags without enclosing a

Sadly this didn't work!

No, it really is a bug.  As Trevor noted, it applies in Classic, not under
true OS 9.

http://support.runrev.com/bugdatabase/show_bug.cgi?id=379
http://support.runrev.com/bugdatabase/show_bug.cgi?id=1466
http://support.runrev.com/bugdatabase/show_bug.cgi?id=1468
http://support.runrev.com/bugdatabase/show_bug.cgi?id=2212

At one point it appeared to have been fixed - however I think this may be
the continuing confusion between Classic under X versus true OS 9.  It is a
bug, and it is fantastically annoying for anyone developing under OS X who
still needs to support OS 9, as for many apps it is simply impossible to
test them under Classic.

According to Tuviah's note on the latest of the above reports, the problem
is in the development tool (CodeWarrior) that the Mac engine is built in, so
RunRev can't fix it until Metrowerks fix that.  Which puts me in somwewhat
of a biter bit situation, since there are a number of bugs in my products
that I tell my users "I can't do anything about it until my development

Re: Windows standalone two handlers separated

2004-12-08 Thread Klaus Major
Hi Andrew,
I've got another clue about why my windows standalone is not working.  
Okay, my script into two halves-- one in the card script and one in 
the script of a button.  At the end if the card script section it says
send parttwo to card button "instructions"

...And I made sure to put all of the relevant local variables (only 1) 
into a global variable, so that it could be accessed in the script of 
the card button "instructions".
You could even send that local var as a parameter to your button, see 
below...

However, It seems as though my standalone is only running the card 
script section, and then not going to the script of cd btn 
"instructions".  Is there any known error that Windows standalones 
have with, as in this case, one handler calling a handler that's 
located elsewhere?
If you specify the exact location of the button it will work!
Like:
...
send "parttwo" to btn "name here" of cd x ## of stack y
## if the button is inanother stack...
...
Please note the quotes!
Or with the above mentioned parameter:
local varname
on xyz
   send "parttwo varname" to btn "name here" of cd x
...
And in the button:
on parttwo whattheheck
   ## do something with whattheheck
...
Make sure that "varname" is not empty! ;-)
btw: unrelated thing: if I have a wav file in my stack, how do I
a. find out how big it is
Sorry, no idea...
b. delete it?
In the preerences -> Application Browser check "Show audio clips" (and 
"Show vieoclips")
then you can select your sound and delete it in the App Browser.
