mac help needed
Hi All. I've not been around recently, see you all soon, howeverI Need your help. THis is not a rev question but a mac question. One of the Prof's here is giving a statistics tutorial. He uses a program called SuperANOVA. He is the registered user, but has it on an old blueberry iMac running OS 9.2. He has lost the discs and the iMac doesn't have video out to an external projector (well I cant see one). He would like to use this on his powerbook. I thought he could simply copy the app folder over, however, it wont run. I cannot see anything related to the app in another folder. He cannot contact the company (abacus systems) because they are defunct (website is now a financial company). Is there a way to find the files associated with this app on his machine (he needs a backup anyway) so we can run it to show the students proper stats. If we copied the hard disc over to an external hard drive and ran it from that disc would the app run or are mac apps pathway specific? Any help appreciated.

Re: [OT] mac help needed
Hi Bob, Is the PowerBook running Mac OS X or Mac OS 9? What does it won't run mean exactly, does it do anything at all, like starting up and quitting immediately? You should be able to copy the entire hard disk, but it won't help if you don't run it on exactly the same machine, because the system software will run on the same type of iMac only. (If you decide to copy the hard disk over the network, don't copy more than 2 Gig at a time). Normally, Mac programmes are not path specific, but there may be safety measures built into the application, making it path-specific.

FormatForPrinting
I am reluctantly using FormatForPrinting to gain control over exact layout in Windows printouts. It seems to me an amazingly awkward beast, requiring one to remove a stack from memory before setting this property; not being editable once the property is set (meaning you have to save the stack before using it); not being cross- platform; and giving viewing difficulties if one wants to show an accurate preview. According to the docs Comments: Windows systems may use different font versions for printing and for screen display, and the spacing of the print version may differ from the spacing of the screen version. This can result in layouts and line breaks differing between the screen display and the printed result. For the best appearance of printed cards in a stack, make sure the stack is closed (and not in memory), then set the stack's formatForPrinting property to true before opening the stack to print it. Important! Do not edit field text in a stack whose formatForPrinting is true. Doing so can cause display anomalies. Set the formatForPrinting property to false before you make changes to text in fields. The spacing of printer font versions usually results in a difficult- to-read display when these fonts are used for screen viewing. To avoid display problems, set the formatForPrinting property to true only when printing. To let the user preview the appearance of the printed output, set the formatForPrinting property to true before opening the stack. This all makes me wonder whether it's worth doing, especially for an app that's supposed to work both on Macs and PCs. Has anyone any experience of using this stuff that they would like to share?

Re: [OT] mac help needed
You might be able to run the iMac's HD in Firewire target mode from the Powerbook, if you can connect the two via firewire. If this works, then the iMac will appear just like any other an external HD on the Powerbook. For exact instructions, check Apple's support pages and search for firewire target mode. Most Macs can do this but some cannot and, I think, the instructions may be slightly different depending on model. HTH.

Re: FormatForPrinting
Thanks Chipp - and Mark, I have no idea if better printing is coming along but it certainly should: I do not think RunRev's support for printing is adequate for a modern RAD tool: one very old issue is that one can't get at the settings made by the user in the Page Setup dialog, but others do include the kludge which is FormatForPrinting, the great difficulty you have now about working out exactly how many pages are needed for a printout of a given field, and the fact that you can't find out the limits of the marking engine within the printed page for a given printer, despite the fact that many other apps obviously do have access to this info, some of them on more than one platform. I would really like a packaged printing library offering a simple reporting feature one could build on, with page numbers, headings, previews, back and forth views and so on. I do not believe such a thing could be constructed in pure Transcript (or Revscript or whatever) today, because not all the building blocks are there.

Re: displaying imported images from within htmltext
Hi Viktoras, Mark told you about using the imageSource property. As for me I don't like too much to use it: even if it works, it sounds like a workaround: You display an image but it is referenced by a char. When building lists, for instance, you have to plan fake chars then set their imageSource, etc. This does not sound good to me ;-) I prefer the way building correct html at first :-) Just as you thought of. Here is an example of a function that builds a list of usernames with a specific icon in front of each username according to the fact that its account is password protected or not (to give you the idea): function BuildUsersHtmlList pArray local tHtml,tID - repeat with i = 1 to pArray[length] if pArray[Data,i,uPassword] = empty then put 60079 into tID else put 60080 into tID put pimg src= quote tID quotepArray [Data,i,uName] /p cr after tHtml end repeat delete last char of tHtml return tHtml end BuildUsersHtmlList tID is a variable that contains the ID of an image: this image can be in the current stack or in any open stack (visible or not). Note how the html is built using quotes and concatenating text and variables values. On the other hand, my Encoded Text Picker plugin might help you: It's an HTML and URLencode translator: Ability to translate both to and from HTML and/or URLEncode.

help with a multi process http server.
Hello Folks, I am here experimenting with a new approach to building revolution based servers. We've been asking for threads or forks for a while but until the day of such implementation comes, we need to use what we can. One other language I always liked (to the point that we created a whole company around it some years ago) was REBOL. I remember from the blogosphere that someone did a REBOL based webserver with some nice benchmarks, I decided to check it out because last I remembered, REBOL was also a single thread language. After checking many sites, I discovered that they along with other people around are using a process pool and a scheduler that handles the connections and redirect them to the next free process on the pool. I decided to take the same approach, I made a tweeked version of my RevHTTP server that can be launched from a shell() call so that I can create a scheduler that can launch some number of processes to make the pool. I created a simple communicating scheme using wget to make little semaphores so that each server instance can tell the scheduler where it is busy or free. So far, so good but there's one problem. Suppose the scheduler is running 8080 and each server instance in the pool is running from 8081 onwards. When the client connects to 8080, the scheduler sends back a redirection response so that the client refreshes to a different port (of a free instance in the pool). The problem is that a http client such as a browser will then request favico and all the links in the html from the same port for it re- uses data from the connection that yielded that result to fill missing data in the URL. For example, if you make a link that goes to /newpage.html, then the server will make it http://yourserver/ newpage.html. If I answered from port 8081, all links in the page will inherit that port and I want all the connections to come to the scheduler running on a different port. One approach to solve this is to parse all the response and change all the html responses to include the correct URLs. This is very boring and slow for we must cope with href, src, link, rel and all kinds of css includes and stuff. What I hoped to find was some HTTP header field that would tell like: hey this server is acutally running at port bla bla bla such as: host: localhost:8080 despite the fact that that answer came thru 8081. This way the whole thing would work and maybe we would have a a web server built with Rev that could see some real world use... Anyone has two cents?

I wish I had your energy. One thought. If I understand correctly, under this system, the scheduler immediately responds to the client with a redirect to the same url but on a different port. Intead of using a redirect, is it not possible for the scheduler to hand off the request directly to an available process (for example, on localhost:8082), wait for the response, and then the scheduler writes the response directly back to the client? This would preserve the socket details for the client. This would put an extra burden on the scheduler when it has to write back large quantities of data to simulataneous requests from different clients. But I think it should be possible to slice up the responses so that you only write back to the client sockets in small chunks (say 4096 KB at a time). This should allow simultaneous connections to appear to work simultaneously. Also, is there not a problem in redirecting clients that have made a POST request? My memory of the http rfc is that redirects only use the GET method. The above idea would get round that problem.

Re: Is this a bug?
Chipp Walters wrote: Mark, your example also demonstrates the power of same named instances of object. I guess it all boils down to each of us trying our best to create reusable grouped components, each with the same codebase. A most difficult task. In the absence of parentScripts (a shared library that is specific to assigned objects) I have yet to find an ideal solution, but here's a convention Ken and I tend to use for custom controls and other reusable groups, with three parts: - a prefab template object - an inspector for copying it and manipulating its properties - a library to drive it I have a table object that best exemplifies this arrangement. The library stack also contains a group which is coped by the inspector onto the card to create a new one. The template object has almost no code; where needed it has stub handlers that just make calls to the library. For example, the column resizing controls simply contain mousedown, mouseMove, mouseUp, and mouseRelease handlers which call _lib4wTableHeaderMouseDown, _lib4wTableHeaderMouseMove, _lib4wTableHeaderMouseUp, and _lib4wTableHeaderMouseRelease messages, respectively. Note the preceding underscore. That distinguishes handlers in the library which are used internally only, as opposed to those which are part of the API (when we get truly private handlers that convention can go away). Most of the object's behaviors are established as property settings. For example, setting the ufwTableData of the group puts the specified columnar data into the table; setting the ufwTableHeaderInfo of the control sets up the column heading labels and widths; setting the ufwTableSortColumn of the group establishes which column the data is currently sorted by, and colors that heading differently from the others as per the OS HIG. These property settings are handled in getProp/setProp handlers in the library. They keep track of the target object, so any number of tables can be used in a layout without conflict. Having as much code as possible in the library means I never need to update any controls to enhance functionality. Having a template object means all instances get implemented consistently with reasonable default settings. Having an inspector means I get to install tables and modify their settings quickly without having to write a line of code. If I get some time I'll publish my table widget, but with my current workload it's hard to say exactly when that'll be -- Richard Gaskin Fourth World Media Corporation ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.FourthWorld.com ___ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution

Re: help with a multi process http server.
Hi Andre, I hope I understood you correctly: did you try the old base href= tag? If you use in the header of the first html file: head base href=http://server2.com:; !-- ... ... -- /head all will be loaded from the server2 at port . A declaration like img src=/src/logo.gif will become like img src=http://server2.com:/src/logo.gif;. If you put in ANY html page delivered from your servers head base href=http://schedulerserver.com; !-- ... ... -- /head all requests will be loaded from schedulerserver.com at port 80 even if the parent page was delivered from another server. Even in the old days of HTML one could send a base href tag in the head of the html-file and all the following relational links have been calculated in the browsers according to this base. I think this works in all browsers on the market. If you have a php or shtml generated index file on the main server which sends a first html page with such a base href tag, the browsers will connect to the declared server for downloading and so on - you do not need to parse any pages, the relational base mechanism makes the rest.

This is the intro to the section describing the various redirect responses (301, 302, etc.): 10.3 Redirection 3xx This class of status code indicates that further action needs to be taken by the user agent in order to fulfill the request. The action required MAY be carried out by the user agent without interaction with the user if and only if the method used in the second request is GET or HEAD.

Well the actual stack name of original libOPN_Menus stack somehow also got changed and saved as libOPN_MenuExtras. So I have two stack named libOPN_MenuExtras - fine. But why when I do this - (no stacks in memory): put exists(stack libOPN_Menus) The result is true, and the original stack which has been renamed somehow is loaded into memory - ie libOPN_menus.rev which has the name libOPN_ExtraMenus. So no big deal - the right stack is loaded with the wrong name by the stackfiles. But doing this again: put exists(stack libOPN_Menus) Results in that annoying dialogue which caused the inifinite loop... surely existence is not such a problem ?

David Bovill wrote: Well the actual stack name of original libOPN_Menus stack somehow also got changed and saved as libOPN_MenuExtras. So I have two stack named libOPN_MenuExtras - fine. But why when I do this - (no stacks in memory): put exists(stack libOPN_Menus) The result is true, and the original stack which has been renamed somehow is loaded into memory - ie libOPN_menus.rev which has the name libOPN_ExtraMenus. There is a difference between a stack's name and its filename. Do you mean it was renamed on disk? That won't affect its stack name. So no big deal - the right stack is loaded with the wrong name by the stackfiles. But doing this again: put exists(stack libOPN_Menus) Results in that annoying dialogue which caused the inifinite loop... surely existence is not such a problem ? What is the rev IDE checking for and does anyone else know what the bug is here? When you check for a stack's existence, the engine will open the stack (without sending any messages) much as it does when you start using a stack. If another stack has the same name, then you have two of them open, which can be a problem. Before checking for existence, try: if there is a stack mystack then delete stack mystack assuming the stack is not a substack. If it is a substack, just close it instead. You'll probably want to remove the stack after the existence check too, if you aren't going to use it immediately. Try this test: answer file Choose a stack file: put there is a stack it -- if you chose a stack, this is true answer the mainstacks When you look at the mainstacks, you will see the stack you chose, even though you never specifically opened it. One way to get around this auto-opening is to check for a file instead of a stack: if there is a file mystack then... Checking for a file does not open the file, even if it is a stack. It just checks to make sure some kind of file with that name is at the path you specify. This is different than checking for the existence of a stack, because the engine needs to open and read the stack file header to determine whether it is a stack or not. It doesn't bother opening and reading anything when you just check for the existence of a file. -- Jacqueline Landman Gay | [EMAIL PROTECTED] HyperActive Software | http://www.hyperactivesw.com ___ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
Re: Rev Crashing..

I've narrowed down a bug which I think is happening when trying to select text and drag/drop itself in the same single line field with the htmlText having a font attribute of 'bgColor'. IOW, I've successfully crashed Rev when I'm trying to select/deselect text repeatedly in a grouped field with the htmlText set to: font bgColor=128,255,255 try to select THIS and move it after the period. /font Anyone else seeing this same problem? It's very disconcerting. If I can find a reproducable recipe, I'll post it to bugzilla, as this one's really nasty. Using the same build but Mac OS X 10.4.8 this works fine for me with no crashes. It's hard to see what I have selected since the bgcolor is the same as my hilite color, but selecting and dragging works perfectly.

Stop Repeating Keys
I have an application where the user types in numbers, but I don't want the keys to automatically repeat. For instance, if the user holds down the 5 key too long, I don't want to appear. I am already capturing the keystroke with an ON KeyDown handler and manipulating the user's input. Using KeyUp instead causes a problem when two keys are pressed, so that won't work. Any help would be appreciated, Mark Greenberg ___ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
Crash of Windows standalone made on Intel iMac
This was the first time I had built a Windows standalone on my new Intel iMac. I am using Rev Studio 2.7.4, Build 291. The standalone contains two cards. The first card shows up fine, and everything operates normally. The fun starts when I either try to go to the second card or click the Close box to quit. On my IBM laptop (Windows 2000), when I click a button whose script is simply Go next, nothing happens for a few moments except that the title bar now shows (2) (for card 2) rather than (1). Then the standalone crashes. The title bar of the error alert says: 9d4: [application name.exe] - Application error The body of the error alert says: The instruction at 0x00161100 referenced memory at 0x00050007. The memory could not be written. (The quotation marks are actually in the alert text). Click on OK to terminate the program Click on CANCEL to debug the program Now if I don't try to go to the second card, and simply close the standalone, it crashes with the following error alert: The title bar of the alert says: MCdummy: [application name.exe] - Application error The body of the alert says: The instruction at 0x77fcc8e3 referenced memory at 0x00565878. The memory could not be written. (The quotation marks are actually in the alert text). There has never been any problem like this with my Classic iMac running Rev 2.6.1. I looked through Bugzilla, and could not find anything similar. Has anyone experienced this?

Using KeyUp instead causes a problem when two keys are pressed, so that won't work. How about something like this (untested): local sKeyPressed on keyDown pKey if sKeyPressed true then put true into sKeyPressed pass keyDown end if end keyDown on keyUp put false into sKeyPressed end keyUp When a key is pressed, it checks the flag. If it is not true, then the keyDown message gets passed so the key will be typed. Then the flag is set to true. Any more keyDowns will be ignored until the flag is reset which happens on keyUp.

Re: Emergency - (sort of) a stack name with the same name...
Hey, I have had a few experiences with an answer box popping up, but then making itself inaccessible, either by hiding itself or by simply lacking an OK button. Revolution will not let you do anything until you have responded, and you are unable to respond. I have been able to fix this by opening another stack with networking enabled (I found I am still able to open stacks, even with Rev stuck) and then remote-administering from a different computer. This usually includes: close stack Answer dialog and: lock messages; wait 5 seconds with messages I don't know if you happen to have two computers and a good networking stack lying around, but it is one possibility. Sorry if this wasn't much help, I was just sharing how I usually get myself out of that situation. Best of luck!

Rev is stuck in an infinite loop... it keeps infinitely saving two files and has the error dialogue stuck in the back. Command period and nothing I can think of exits the loop. I have almost never got out of this without a force quite - and I have just finished some complex coding. Is there any way to get out of it??? I am sure you all know what I mean - it happens pretty well all the time if you change stacks name and thenSave as... I can never quite believe that it will do this so occasionally I try a Save as... - deadly! I'll go and have a beer and hope some guru has a hack to get out of this? ___ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution ___ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
