Have you tried it with a 25mb file that is gzipped? Or how about one that is just 25mb of say 1 char? I'm suggesting this in case there is some funky combo in your file that is causing the server to hiccup. If a binary file like gzip or an ascii file of letter A cannot get through, then it does point to their server/firewall/router config. Alas, something of which you have no control. Here's another suggestion. Why not use something like curl or wget to transfer the same file using one of the 'continue' options? Curl has a 'continue' option that works with PUT, so I'm guessing you can use that to continue an upload that did not work. I've used this kind of feature with large downloads in case they fail half-way. Curl works very well with open process in Rev, so you could use that behind the scenes in your app, provided of course there is not some other funky reason why you need to use Rev's socket-level features. I guess if you are talking to a FTP server using your own app, you might be able to build in your own 'continue' feature. There must be a command that curl sends to the server to find out the byte to continue the file from, and a command that tells the server to append the data to the existing file rather than overwrite it. Hope that helps.

These where places where, for a small price, you could make more or less elaborate drawings of a live (and naked, and, mostly, female) model. There was a small heating engine close to the model to help her staying still long enough for the public to do the drawing. Unfortunately, the course of my studies (not to mention marriage) took me away from these artistic activities. While the word 'academy' may sound very posh (it, after all, is of Greek origin), in Scotland it has been used both for Elementary schools: http://www.ancestralorkney.com/famousadventurer.html and High Schools: http://www.harris-academy.com/ although I have, sadly, missed out on academies filled with pulchritudinous ladies desporting themselves in their birthday suits. What interests me, François, is what you mean by mostly, female - I suppose the semantics are all dependent on how one sees the comma . . . :) Presumably, the mooted 'revAcademy' should be seen as having a Grave accent on the E rather than ' a cute' accent as per naked young ladies. -- The problem, and it is a serious problem, is that most computer manuals and online teaching resources are no compensation for the presence of a real, live teacher present with you. Another problem has to do with perceptions of what will be conceptually difficult for students, as different sorts of people at different stages in their lives with different educational backgrounds will find different hurdles to overcome when they first approach RunRev. It is impossible that any sort of 'academy' can be everything for all men (read 'men' as 'humankind'); so, of necessity, it will have to go for a one size fits all approach which may, ultimately, fit no one at all. For the sake of argument: At New Year, my father wanted to make a Venn diagram with semi-transparent overlapping circles for part of his degree he is doing. I introduced him to Microsoft Expression 3 - thinking that he would be up and running in a matter of 10-15 minutes. What I had forgotten was that my father, while being an extremely competent Chemistry teacher and violin and viola player, had almost no knowledge of what we might like to term the common interface elements of a graphics program. As a result I had to completely re-examine my presuppositions about what one has to put into a set of lesson plans for teaching any sort of computer program that has a GUI. While the whole process may have been extremely educational for me, I think that my father may have revised his opinion of my teaching abilities - downwards!!! ___ 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: when saving as standalone get a text file; Help!
I did not want to say anything until I had time to conduct further testing, but recently ran into a problem similar to the one Andre reported. This started after a firmware update on my Mac Pro (running Leopard) a few days ago When I compile applications with revEnterprise, the Windows version works fine but the Mac Universal version will not run. This is true for applications I complied and successfully ran prior to the firmware update. If I open the rev file and recompile with revStudio, I do not have the problem. When I say that the Mac Universal version will not run, the OS brings up a popup saying the application quit unexpectedly. So, I think there must be a tie to revEnterprise and the firmware update. My revEnterprise is up-to-date. I wonder if I should install Snow Leopard. I have had it for a while, just have not gotten around to install it on my Mac Pro yet.

Addressing your HD being filled up issue, know that I'm against such things as well. I had no desire for Newsfeeder to be a newsgroup reader that downloaded and saved every headline and marked them as read or not. Newsfeeder will tell you if an RSS feed has new headlines since the last time you viewed it, you will be informed, but it doesn't track anything on a per-headline basis and doesn't save anything to the HD. Each time you start up the app, everything is fresh. Note: I have considered adding support for saving headlines that you love or want to read later so they don't go away, and similarly considered letting you delete headlines that you never want to see again. But I need to get more use out of the app - and more user opinions - before I go down that road. Thank you for your thoughts.

Please know that I've tried *many* different ways of presenting the headlines, and this one seems to provide the best information given the space I want to allot to each. However, RSS feeds - even though it's an optional xml tag - usually support the author tag. Perhaps an option to turn that on and have the author's name appear directly below the title as a subtext (similar to the post date) might fit that need?

I took to resizing them every time just before printing, A little off your topic, but if you set the stack's formatForPrinting property Rev won't clip the stack off. Good to know this, thanks. I thought formatForPrinting only affected font display, but the last paragraph of the dictionary entry says If the stack's formatForPrinting property is true, the setting of the windowBoundingRect property is ignored when the stack is opened or maximized. I then wondered if I could set the windowBoundingRect to a larger size before opening the menustack, but alas, The value of the windowBoundingRect does not affect palette, modal, or modeless windows. Only stacks whose mode property is 1 or 2 are affected. Dead end, after all. PROGRAM, tr.v.

Xcopy without mounting a network-path
Hola, everybody knows how to handel xcopy, for example: xcopy D:\*.* Y:\*.* but, how to do this without mounting a network-path: xcopy //myPC/D:\*.* ???

Italic text
In some of my stacks, the font mysteriously changed to italic on all of them. It was about the same time I changed some of the stack's appearance properties (Took maximize button away from some and the minimize away from others). Haven't figured out why this happened or how to fix it yet. :P probably something silly.

But, I had not seen an error of just 53 or 54 or... (or at least I didn't think I had). Alex, Any way of knowing if an error is going to be reported as 10054, 20054 or just 54? What generates this socket error number? Rev? The platform? The server? It makes a difference to my switch statement. ;-) Don't know for sure, but I believeWin consistently reports socket error numbers as 100xx, while I think (maybe) Mac reports them as simply xx Linux - no idea. Maybe parse out and switch on the last two digits of the error number ?? -- Alex. ___ 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

FYI: writing to and reading from fields much faster than locals, globals or custom properties
You all probably know this, but thought I would share our experience anyway: We are working on a project with a 1 millisecond callback loop that communicates with an external process in a performance-critical application, and when prototyping, temporarily used some fields on a card to write and read values from during the loop. Then, while buttoning things up, instead of fields, we switched to reading and writing a custom property. Suddenly, everything went sluggish - you had to click on a button several times to trigger it, you could barely move stack windows, etc. It took a while to figure out the culprit, but once we went line by line from our original prototype script, wee found that going back to reading and writing to a field made everything work smoothly again! Then we tried local, then a global variable... not good... same result as custom properties. So if you are writing an app where performance is critical, Rev reads and writes to fields super fast!___ 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: FYI: writing to and reading from fields much faster than locals, globals or custom properties
That is counter to what we've been taught was the case previously. In previous versions the field overhead was far greater than CPs.

If the field you're using to set/get data, is _invisible_ then it makes sense that this would be faster than set/get data using a custom property: built-in properties don't have to traverse the message hierarchy for setProp/getProp handlers, and an invisible field doesn't have to redraw itself. Why it would be faster than global/local variable access, is a puzzler - are you using arrays or storing the text in the same 'flat' way as field text?

Which platform? Is the flag script debug mode set to false? Are there any pending messages in the queue? Front scripts? back scripts? I have done many performance-critical event loops using variables and custom properties in networking apps between computers and offices. Whenever I encounter a slow down, I look at my error trapping loops or status detection code and find that I have added clock cycles by not programming properly. If you have discovered something that affects the performance so that fields are noticeably faster, then we need to know what is happening. I have never tested fields to be as fast or faster than custom properties, especially for larger blocks of text (such as whole web page HTML) Please, when you have time, provide a little more feedback.
