XP, Vista, Choosing where to save rev files
If I let a Windows user choose via dialog where my app creates and saves a rev file, will any folders that can be chosen by the user be accessible to the rev app when it goes to open that file again? I'm a bit worried about users choosing to save the file into a folder that Vista will then not allow the rev app to open that file. Maybe I'm being overly paranoid ;-) But Vista seems a bit cranky. sims ___ 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
Internet site rules for on-Rev
Hi from Paris, I've been researching information for my internet site for some years now, and I am soon ready to go live. I have an on-Rev licence, and am impatient to reap the fruits of my work. I even wrote a HTML generator in Transcript, to help me build my pages, because I couldn't understand DreamWeaver :) Several years ago, when they (Who are THEY ?) opened the suffix .fr, I immediately contacted a company who reserves site names, and they charge me some small fee every year, for retaining my site name. I am not sure if site name reservation is complicated, but then I suppose that if we all knew how to fill in a few forms, we would never need lawyers . Question : What do I do when I want to use the on-Rev site for my site location ? Must I continue paying the yearly fee to this Site Company, or can I short-circuit them, now that I have a lifetime with on-Rev ? I imagine that I am not the first to ask this question. - Francis Nothing should ever be done for the first time ! ___ 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: Internet site rules for on-Rev
The domain name you reserve the right to use is registered with a company that does registration functions only. You do not have to ever actually put web pages on a hosted computer to retain the ownership of the domain. When you do establish a location (IP address) for your web page(s), you need to update the record with the domain registrar with this computer location. One of the functions of a domain registrar is to let the world know when you make changes to your domain record. OnRev is a hosting company that establishes and maintains the location of your web page(s) and will give you the correct addresses to use for updating your domain record. These are called DNS servers (Domain Name Servers maintained by OnRev. -1- contact a *domain registration* company to reserve the domain you want if it is available -2- contact your *hosting* company to get the name server addresses to update your registration record -3- follow the directions of your hosting company for uploading the actual HTML pages to your hosting company hard drive If the hosting company goes out of business, you lose the location of your web site, but not the registration If you change hosting companies, you then change the name servers on your registration record to let the world know how to get to your new location. One domain can only be routed to one primary IP address. The reason for secondary IP addresses is in case the server at the first IP address is not available. Your *hosting* company maintains a Name Server, which listens for http:// requests and forwards the request to your location (web pages) You can have 10 domain names with DNS entries all 'pointing to' the same *hosting* company (eg OnRev) In that case, you would have 10 home folders on the *hosting* company server, each named as one of the 10 domains. You could have 9 of the folders 'redirecting' traffic to the 10th folder which contains your favorite home page. Hope this helps.

Re: What is the current version of Rev?
Don't have an answer, I'm afraid. Update to dp4 is also not working on my WinXP machine. So, I started this same discussion on the improve rev list. Several suggestions were offered -- check the Rev folder for a new folder dp4, initiate the update not from dp3 but from a previous version (3.5). But all gave the same result: after Check for updates, entering the license key and restarting, dp3 persists -- and I doubt anything was downloaded, because Rev restarted immediately. Perhps someone from Rev is listening in and can point us to a direct url for downloading dp4? -- Nicolas Cueto ___ 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: What is the current version of Rev?
Nicolas and Len, Please run check for updates. Does it say there is one available? If so, accept the update and follow prompts until Finished Now exit and launch Revolution again. Check for updates again. This time it should say you are up to date. What you need to understand, at this point, is that just because you have downloaded the latest version of Rev, you are not prevented from running previous versions of Rev. There is an exception to this in that dp and rc versions of Rev normally time-out. However, this time-out convention has been disabled for the current 4.0 releases. This means you can still run dp-3. Or, you can run dp-4. So now you need to look at where you are running the Revolution IDE program from. Look at where your Revolution IDE programs are located on your hard drive. There should be a directory like Revolution Enterprise (if you run revEnterprise). Under this directory should be (at least) two other directories. 4.0.0-dp-3 and 4.0.0-dp-4. If you launch the revolution IDE from the 4.0.0-dp-4 directory, then you are running dp-4. Now, if you normally launch Rev by clicking on a .rev file, you may need to change your file associations so that a .rev file is associated with dp-4 instead of dp-3. The update program usually gives you an option to change your file associations to the latest version of rev. However it defaults to No (which it should). So, you may need to do this manually if you want to launch dp-4 when clicking on a .rev stack. Hope this helps.

It will not be parked anymore and its record will have to be modified to point to your on-rev site. On-Rev has instructions how to go about it. Paying for domain is independent from paying for on-rev service. The former is a fee for having an internet address.

The site company maintains its record in their database and is charging you a small fee to keep the reservation active. Ah, yes, the confusing world of internet identities and entities. Hopefully this will shed some light. There is a difference between domain registration domain parking domain active hosting Domain registration is paying for the ownership of a domain. It does not have to be used. Millions of domains are owned but not used. The registrar maintains the records and these are available using WHOIS. -- example use your browser to go to http://www.internic.net/whois.html -- type in a Domain, egon-rev.com Domain Name: ON-REV.COM Registrar: GODADDY.COM, INC. Whois Server: whois.godaddy.com Referral URL: http://registrar.godaddy.com Name Server: NS1.ON-REV.COM Name Server: NS2.ON-REV.COM Name Server: NS3.ON-REV.COM Domain parking and active hosting are part of the *hosting* service Domain parking lets you cheaply display an under construction default page on your web host. You can register a domain and not park it anywhere but then your site will be simply inaccessible until you get a web host. 404 error not found Domain serving means you have a home page (index.html, index.php, etc) and other pages that respond to queries from browsers and other programs (like Rev using the post command) The sequence for this to happen: 1 Pay a registrar in order to own the domain 2 Fill in the information, including your contact details 3 Set the parameters for renewal, security, locking, etc 4 Contact a hosting company (eg. On-Rev) 5 Use cPanel to set up your home folder on the host server 6 Find the DNS server details at On-Rev 7 Go to your registrar site, into the administer domains area 8 Enter the DNS details and update the registration record 9 Wait 24 to 72 hours for all the ISP computers around the world to be notified 10 Everyone can now use yourDomain.com (case *insensitive*) to reach your home folder 11 Everyone can now use yourDomain.com/aboutUs.html (case *sensitive* after '.com/' to reach one of your pages The reason for case sensitive is that Unix and Linux operating systems are case sensitive for file and folder names. On-Rev uses Linux. If you wish to secure the use of a domain name rather than lose it to someone else, buy ownership with a registrar. If you wish to park the domain to produce an under construction page, do this with your hosting provider. You can have more than one web hosting company, but a single domain can only be hosted in one location. An example would be that you have a company domain, a Facebook page, an eBlogger blog, and some YouTube videos. All of these are hosted on different servers but are part of your company and marketing presence. You could add a WordPress blog to your On-Rev site at yourDomain.com/ inhouseBlog.php using cPanel and the automatic installer. As you can see, most of today's active businesses use several servers hosted by different companies.

RE: What is the current version of Rev?
Hi Nicolas, Thanks Jim but, as I wrote, your suggestion is not new. Tried it -- repeatedly! -- and I assure you there is no dp4 folder within my RevEnterprise folder. Nor anywhere else on my hard-drive. Didn't follow back the whole thread before I answered. And have also tried several other suggested solutions. License validation; managing versions (I have 2.6, 2.9, 3.5, 4.0dp4); restarting the computer; etc. Both on XP and Vista. All fail -- and by fail I mean nothing gets downloaded even though Rev says otherwise. OK. Now I know you are on PC. I have downloaded dp-4 to both Vista and XP the day it was announced. There was nothing unusual. Besides, if something had been downloaded, even on my optical fiber connection it should have taken a few seconds. But there is no noticeable time lag at all in the whole process. Yes, as you know, the update process downloads about 11 or 12 files and you should see around this number of progress bars appear one after another. The source of the problem is not inexperience; have been using Rev for years now. The problem is Rev dp3 and 3.5 state an update is available, that update is accepted by me clicking on a series of buttons, and yet, after restarting Rev, it is not dp4 but dp3 (or 3.5 using Manage versions) that starts up -- of course, since nothing was downloaded -- and still telling me that the dp4 update is available. OK, something else has to be afoot here. You obviously updated to dp-3 using the update process, as a dp is not separately downloadable, as far as I know. So, what's different between this time and the time you did it before? Did Vista go to SP2 in the meanwhile? Did the UAC change? Have you tried running Rev as administrator by right clicking on it and choosing run as administrator, before attempting the upgrade? Better yet, can you log in as THE Administrator and run the upgrade process from this account as opposed to a user with admin privileges? That it is happening on XP also is a bit puzzling because XP is much more tolerant of UAC issues. I wonder... has your subscription run out and maybe the bug is that Rev is not notifying you of this? Obviously you are dealing with something that happened over a short time here.

Re: Snow Leopard problem on a Mac Air
Hi Mark, Thanks for your suggestions. Patent Grabber was already installed on the user's Mac when he upgraded to Snow Leopard. So I am not sure that the permissions of my standalone would be a problem when it was working fine until my user's upgrade. Or are you suggesting that my user should run the command that you provided because the permissions of his particular copy became corrupted? I suggested to him that he download and upzip a fresh copy now that Snow Leopard is installed. I don't know how that could make a difference, but computers can do weird things sometimes!

Re: words matter
I think the rationale is that there is no single character to delimit words, but rather many possibilities. [ space tab space.space.tab.space space.cr.space.cr.cr ] In the docs Comments: A word is delimited by one or more spaces, tabs, or returns, or enclosed by double quotes. A single word can contain multiple characters and multiple items, but not multiple lines. so using put empty into myText put aa into word 1 of myText put bb into word 2 of myText answer myText does not really define exactly which separation character or characters to use. There is no wordDelimiter. Try this riddle on testt put thisisa cr wordOnLine1 into wordz put word 1 of wordz set the lineDelimiter to Z put cr cr after msg put word 1 of wordz after msg put cr cr after msg put thisisaZtimeforallofus into wordz put word 1 of wordz after msg put cr cr after msg put line 1 of wordz after msg end testt Conclusion is that you can change the lineDelimiter to 'Z' and get a different line chunk than cr, but this does not change the definition of a word when it comes to a cr. Thus a cr IS always a word separator, but a cr CAN BE a line delimiter. Hope this helps.

( would love to take that thing and turn it into an external if I knew how... that's another story...) but, that's what I'm loading... but since he works on OS X I, thought, on a hunhc sure he was piping cr's from the original ASCII out to char(13) Joe Ault: OK we are getting some where: I obviously made a blooper where I was replacing char(13) with char (10) in the filename and not the data. Of course nothing happened... fixed it: this now works fine! on mouseUp answer file Choose a unicode file to read in. if it is empty then exit mouseUp put binfile: it into urlName set the useUnicode to true put url urlName into tTamilUnicodeText replace numtochar(13) with numtochar(10) in tTamilUnicodeText set the unicodeText of fld display to tTamilUnicodeText end mouseUp OK so far so good. I'm getting the same line breaks from the original text. Richard: thanks for the arcane script from Mark, which I only saw *after* trying the above... so I did not need it. but I will keep it as a reference, thank you. Jim F: thanks for the tip on always encoding... since I have to move this stuff back and forth to the web server and possible in and out of PostGreSQL.. I will take your advice. So, for now it works... Read on if you want walk into the morass of trying actually see what you have a decimal strings: Ken Kojima, Thanks: this now works -- well appears to, on the surface. on mouseUp set the useUnicode to true if the selection is empty then answer No Selection with ok end if put the selection into tUnicode repeat with i=1 to the num of chars of tUnicode step 2 put chartonum(char i to i+1 of tUnicode) cr after tOutput end repeat put tOutput end mouseUp but I get super irrational results (irrational to me at least) Tamil lives here: U+0B80 – U+0BFF (2944–3071) if load the text *without* handling the line endings and select across the last letters of one line and the beginning of the next: [note, the editor of this text typically puts two end-of-paragraph (i.e. 1 blank line) between paragraphs, block style] 2990 - Valid Tamil Character 3021 - Valid Tamil Character 3374 - out of range: should be line break and does show as one in Pages 8205 - out of range: should be line break and does show as one in Pages, or in the field if I do the (13) to (10) conversion 2953 - Valid Tamil Character And if I select the same thing a second time... different results! 2990 3021 12576 2570 2992 3007 OK now... if I select another section of text where there is a text/2 line breaks/text/2 line breaks/text I get super bizarre results back 3377 45069 # way out of range. 48907 44555 52491 8203 If I lengthen the selection, left and right I get completely (almost) different results) Even the same characters selected in the short selection are not output as the characters: 3015 2985 3021 3391 39437 49419 45579 51979 38155 12555 3341 2992 3007 if I put replace numtochar(13) with numtochar(10) in tTamilUnicodeText back into my import script and then select across the end of the same line and 2 cr's and the beginning of the 4th line, I get different results again. And this time, so beyond my ken as to be a black box. I don't think I will even go there in trying to understand what is happening, wrong and why we get something like: 2985 3021 2623 39434 49419 45579 51979 38155 44555 52491 8203 2609 45066 48907 There's more bizarre events occuring (selecting text causes characters to switch places!)

Re: Line Breaks Dropped on Importing Unicode Text
Aloha (in NYC we just say howyadoin'?) I had some trouble getting unicode text to do what I expected in Rev. My understanding at the moment is this: Rev handles text internally as utf16, that's the unicodetext. No matter where you put it or display it, it's still the unicodetext. Rev supposedly handles all conversions, which I interpret as line endings and byte order, and that seems to be the case as long as I specify what to uniencode to and unidecode from. I'm using OS/X and working on a stack that will be a Windows standalone. I needed utf8 to make round trips to the web server and got all kinds of weird results until I started encoding/decoding at every step. Then is worked fine. I'm using TextWrangler and it seems to detect and save just fine. TextEdit I think will automatically convert line endings, so probably Pages as well. Joe F.
