Re: Hybrid CD

2005-09-15 Thread Mark Waddingham
Although this may not be quite the answer you wanted, I've found the  
easiest way to make hybrid CDs on MacOS X is to:

  1) Create a CD sized disk image (using the Disk Utility)
  2) Mount/Attach/Open (choose your favourite verb) your fresh DMG
  3) Copy in your directory structure and all the files
  4) Set it up precisely how you want it to look under MacOS with  
icons/backdrops/file placement etc.

  5) Execute the following command in a terminal window:
   hdiutil makehybrid -o iso_filename dmg_filename
  6) Take the ISO image and burn away.

This will quite happily create an ISO image with:
  - HFS (MacOS) extensions
  - Joliet (Windows) extensions
  - RockRidge (UNIX) extensions
Meaning that it should work fine on virtually any platform...

Incidentally, the 'hdiutil' command-line utility is great - allows  
you to do everything Disk Utility does and more. Anyone looking to do  
CD/ISO/DVD image related work (and who hasn't done so already) should  
definitely type 'man hdiutil' into a friendly terminal window :o)


Warmest Regards,

Mark.

RE: preOpenStack Weirdness

2005-09-15 Thread David Burgun

Hi,

Just saw your reply! Sorry I didn't mean to suggest that you thought 
my code was badly written, was just puzzled at what you meant!


If I take the code as-is and paste it into the openStack handler it 
works! In fact if I execute it anywhere except in a preOpenStack 
handler it works!


Is this the correct behavour? It is REALLY causing me problems at the 
moment, since I have to remember not to use functions/handlers in the 
Utility Stack in preOpen handlers. Could anyone shed some light on 
this?


Thanks a lot for all your help
All the Best

problem differently in the hopes that your
problem would reveal itself...

Not that your code was badly written...

I have a spec to combine with the HC stack with a few added widgets in

Please only respond if you're truly qualified to do this project and have

Re: Poke a Shell Variable with xTalk?

2005-09-15 Thread david bovill
My suggestion would be to go with the (text file + shelling to  
sendmail) combination,  and not the (shell + echo + pipe) combination  
to get variables into anything but the simplest stuff.


I have not done this with sendmail but looking at the man page, would  
indicate that you need to use the :


   Postfix sendmail relies on the postdrop(1) command to create
   a queue file in the maildrop directory.

Which you can find at:

/var/spool/postfix, mail queue

However as this says use postdrop which in return takes input from  
STDIN you are back to square one.


   newaliases
  Initialize the alias database.  If no input  file  is   
specified
  (with  the  -oA  option,  see  below), the program  
processes the
  file(s) specified with the alias_database  
configuration  parame-
  ter.   If  no alias database type is specified, the  
program uses
  the type specified with the default_database_type   
configuration
  parameter.  This mode of operation is implemented by  
running the

  postalias(1) command.

Where:

  -oAalias_database
  Non-default  alias  database. Specify pathname or  
type:pathname.

  See postalias(1) for details.

So this is not looking simple:) The postalias command seems to be the  
thing you need to create the queue files in the maildrop directory  
(from files):


POSTALIAS(1)   
POSTALIAS(1)


NAME
   postalias - Postfix alias database maintenance

SYNOPSIS
   postalias [-Nfinoprvw] [-c config_dir] [-d key] [-q key]
   [file_type:]file_name ...

So by issuing a series of simple commands passing the right fileNames  
you should get the result you want? NB ie use merge() to create the  
right shell commands...

Re: Rev Dev WANTED!

2005-09-15 Thread simplsol

Jeff,
If you find someone please let me know.
 We have been converting our HyperCard business system to Rev for over 
three years! It has taken so long because Rev still doesn't do some of 
the things we take for granted in HC. Reports is an example, Rev still 
doesn't do reporting (among other problems, Quartam Reports won't 
handle scrolling fields!) - HC and 9 to 5 Reports was a much better 
combination. If your system is multi-user, there are another set of 
issues.

Anyway, we're working on it.
 Incidentally our most popular business system is for rentals. In your 
neighborhood it is used by All Valley in Granada Hills, A-Rental 
Connection in Canoga Park, Agoura Rentals in Agoura and 
Palmdale/Lancaster, A+ in North Hills, Jim's One Stop in Sunland, and 
SCVRC in Saugus. We are in San Dimas. I just returned from New Jersey 
where I spent a week with one of our customers, Magical Enterprises, 
the largest bounce rental company on the East Coast. They have been 
using our system for about ten years.
 You might consider joining the So Cal Rev Dev Con which meets 
semi-monthly - ususally at 4th World in downtown LA. You could meet 
Richard Gaskin our host and programmer extraordinare, as well as many 
of the local Rev Gurus, and Ken Ray regularly flies in from Wisconsin. 
Let me know if you are interested, I believe I could prevail on Mr. 
Gaskin to invite you.

Sincerely,
Paul Looney
 PS Don't panic at the prospect of a three year conversion. Our system 
consists of 43 interactive stacks, over 100 reports, and 11 plugins. It 
is multi-user and very powerful - the orders stack alone has over 150 
fields and over 150 buttons. We have found that simple conversions can 
be done quite simply.
 If you wish to chat about things HyperCard, give me a call 
951-545-8885

Hi Mark,

Under windows, DirectSound have got the CMMS feature (feature supported
by my soundcard). Quicktime 6 used DirectSound, and this feature worked.
But with Quicktime 7, this feature is not used, and stereo file aren't
played by all my speakers.
If is it only a Quicktime problem, is it not the place for this message,
but when I play a media file with iTunes, the CMMS feature is used !
So I wan't to know if there are a way for have this feature work with
Runrev.

Text to speech engines for Windows

2005-09-15 Thread Bob Earp
What's the best English text to speech engine for Windows?  I see there are 
ones from Microsoft, WinSpeech, Lernout  Hauspie, ATT, and maybe others.


Are there others for Spanish, Portuguese and French ?

Also, through searching I see references to SAPI 4.0, SAPI 5.0 and SAPI 5.1 
(I assume) standards for these engines.  Are there any problems associated 
with a particular version and a release of Windows ?

Re: Why I have got only 2 speakers working with Quicktime 7 ?

2005-09-15 Thread Stephen Barncard
This sounds like proper default behavior to me. If one is monitoring 
stereo in professional situations, one does NOT use the rear speakers 
with the same info.  If surround is now a possibility in QT7, then 
this is correct behavior. There would be no way for the software to 
know how your system is connected in analog. Anyway if you must have 
the same front and back,  simple connector splitters are available at 
Radio Shack.

I'm working on this at the moment - part time though. At the moment I  
am basing this on web services and the Apache Forrest project -  
http://forrest.apache.org/.



Rev Client (GUI Interface)
Basic outliner which can import / export a number of formats:

Rev writes XML files for:

1) Hierarchical Navigation = site map (see later)
2) Tab Navigation (for web site)
3) XML files for contents of each web page - corresponds to a  
title in the outliner and site map.


Rev sends this information to Apache Forrest
This is a Java program which could run on OSX - I have it installed  
on a Linux server. Once you set this up you can use the xml files  
created above to both generate skinable web sites together with  
navigation as well as good PDF export with bookmarks and tables etc.


1) Provide
a) Basic web service (REST based) or
b) Run Forrest as daemon and ftp or write xml files to  
directory


2) Return (download) pdf document


Happy to work on it with you or anyone else on the list -  can chat  
online and talk through it if you want:

you need the MLXEditor from Alex Rice at MindLube software:

Recipes for BBEDIT,EMACS,TextEdit and for Windoze, Notepad and

MLXEditor is great but one drawback (as Stephen mentioned) is that it  
can be a pain to debug with since by default, your external editor is  
opened whenever the Rev debugger tries to kick in.  You can hold down  
the shift key to bypass MLXEditor and use the default Rev editor but  
it still makes debugging difficult.


There is a simple fix though.  Here is a modification you can make in  
order to bypass MLXEditor whenever the debugger is being used.  So  
while editing scripts in your external editor you can type  
breakpoint anywhere in your code, save the script, return to Rev  
and when you run the script the Rev debugger will open.  Just make  
sure you close the debugger before editing the script in the external  
editor again.


Here is what you do after installing MLXEditor:

1) type the following in the message box and execute it:

edit script of card 3 of stack revmlxeditor

2) Change the script to:

local sDebugging = false

on traceBreak
put true into sDebugging

pass traceBreak
end traceBreak

on editScript pID
get sDebugging
put false into sDebugging

if it then pass editScript -- use built-in script editor/debugger
if shiftKey() = down then pass editScript -- use builtin  
script editor


-- default to external script editor
send doEditScript pID to stack revMLXEditor
end editScript

Re: [OT] Any PDF Experts Out There in RevLand?

2005-09-15 Thread Dan Shafer
I have a friend who's the production VP for a book publisher that  
does a lot of eBook stuff. He tells me this is only possible on OS X  
with Adobe inDesign ($700 SRP) and even then there's a bug in  
inDesign that means that once you've auto-generated the TOC and  
bookmarks you have to review them all and tweak some or many of them.


David, I'm going to contact you off-list about your project when I  
get this current issue solved.

Rev Client (GUI Interface)
Basic outliner which can import / export a number of formats:

Rev writes XML files for:

1) Hierarchical Navigation = site map (see later)
2) Tab Navigation (for web site)
3) XML files for contents of each web page - corresponds to a  
title in the outliner and site map.


Rev sends this information to Apache Forrest
This is a Java program which could run on OSX - I have it installed  
on a Linux server. Once you set this up you can use the xml files  
created above to both generate skinable web sites together with  
navigation as well as good PDF export with bookmarks and tables etc.


1) Provide
a) Basic web service (REST based) or
b) Run Forrest as daemon and ftp or write xml files to  
directory


2) Return (download) pdf document


Happy to work on it with you or anyone else on the list -  can chat  
online and talk through it if you want:

Thanks, Mark, but that's a no-go. The Active Document Elements have  
to be marked manually in the text, which would be as much work as  
adding bookmarks manually in the PDF.


This is an intriguing software gap. I'm trying to see it as an  
opportunity rather than as a huge annoyance. I'm not succeeding, mind  
you, but I am trying!

Help needed uploading image files ( 0kb issue )

2005-09-15 Thread kevin
I'm writing a small app to allow a collegue to easily update a web page. In
it's simplest form, there is one text box and one image to be changed.
I'm handling the text changes by inserting a javascript include script on
the web page and using this app to modify the text file it points to. The
files are updated by using:
put document.write('  fld newtext ');document.writeinto URL
ftp://name:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/thefile.js

This works fine, the problem comes with the images. My app imports any image
file and resizes it to fit the area available on the web page. I can use

export image image1 to file image1.gif as GIF  -- This works fine to
create the required file within the local folder

my problem is getting the image to the URL.. I've tried:

 export image image1 to URL
ftp://name:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/image1.gif as GIF -- The file appears
but is 0 kb

--libURLftpUpload URL image1 to URL
ftp://name:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/image1.gif  -- The file appears but is
0 kb

I've also tried variations of  libURLftpUploadFile, and 

--libURLftpUploadFile
myVariable,ftp://name:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/image1.gif-- exporting
the file to a variable first.

even copying the correctly saved local file but with the same result

In each case, the file appears where I need it but it's empty - i.e. 0 kb

The image file I'm creating is correct as I can ftp it up to the site with
no problems (not a solution I can offer to my collegue)

I'm obviously missing something fundamental here that I can't stumble on in
the documentation so any help would be very gratefully recieved

I would save the file to a temporary file locally and then upload it
using libURLftpUploadFile. This has worked fine for me in the past.
For debugging purposes, make a log field and use libURLsetLogField to
show all the logged data in that field. That way you will be able to
see whatever messages your FTP server is giving and that might give
you a clue.

What's mdimport ?

2005-09-15 Thread Roger Guay

Hello folks,

Can anyone tell me what mdimport is?  I'm using a Mac with OS X and a  
utility called Activity Monitor to monitor my CPU usage, and mdimport  
very often is in the 90% +  range.  What is this that is soaking up  
my CPU usage??

I think it's related to Spotlight.  The spike is probably while it's 
indexing.


Whether you use Spotlight or not, I know of no way to turn it off.

Copy image content for object image empty.

2005-09-15 Thread Gilberto Cuba Ricardo

Hello colleagues,

I am trying to copy an image that is in a stack for an object image empty, 
but it doesn't work; that makes it is to copy a dirty image for the object 
image.


Script in the object image Visor

on mouseUp
   put the imagedata of image img01 of this stack into tImageData
   put the tImageData into the imagedata of image Visor
end mouseUp

I'm tried too with the property paintcompression, but not work, i.e., i'm 
tried to put the paintcompression into object image Visor.


Some idea of as making it would be welcome.

Greetings,

Gilberto Cuba

Yes, it's Meta Data Import and is Spotlight doing it's indexing. I
haven't had any trouble with it but one of my colleagues has. Getting
more RAM helped (as it always does) but I think it might have been
because he had some constantly changing folders containing thousands
of text files.

 
 Whether you use Spotlight or not, I know of no way to turn it off.
 
 Welcome to Tiger.

Here is a shareware utility to turn Spotlight off  on
http://www.fixamacsoftware.com/software/spot/index.html but if you
are comfortable using Terminal, you can do it yourself
http://rixstep.com/2/20050528,00.html although this description
doesn't tell you how to turn it back on again if you change your mind!

Try:

put doesn't work with properties, you have to use set. In fact I
am surprised that this didn't give you an script error.

Re: Text to speech engines for Windows

2005-09-15 Thread Phil Davis

Hi Bob -

I've used SAPI 4  5 to enable Rev speech synthesis on Windows, and 
haven't found any problems on the surface. I'm not doing anything too 
fancy with speech, just speaking unmodified English text so far.


As you may have already discovered, there are third-party voices 
available whose quality completely eclipses MS and Apple voices. I don't 
know a lot about the licensing details as I'm just at the beginning of 
the selection process myself, but there are some good ones out there.


Here's a quick one I've tried:
http://cepstral.com/
They have downloadable voices for Mac. Windows, Linux. Languages include 
 English, Americas Spanish, Canadian French, Italian, and others.



Here's a list of other resources. Some have products that support 
text-to-speech (TTS) in phone sytems, others support TTS in cars, some 
support it in computers:

www.brightspeech.com
www.slt.atr.jp/ss-e
www.naturalvoices.att.com
www.cepstral.com
fonix.com
www.research.ibm.com/tts
www.iflytek.com/English/products.htm

www.loqundo.com
www.nuance.com

Are there others for Spanish, Portuguese and French ?

Also, through searching I see references to SAPI 4.0, SAPI 5.0 and SAPI 
5.1 (I assume) standards for these engines.  Are there any problems 
associated with a particular version and a release of Windows ?


Tnx, Bob...
