I'm not a Java expert, but I assume that there is a formal specification for Java and that there are many implementations (Sun, IBM, Blackdown?). That may explain why people would be comfortable adopting Java but not REBOL. -Karl On Monday 09 February 2004 19:32, Peter WA Wood wrote: > I thin

2004-01-21 Thread Karl Robillard
You can use bind to execute functions in a protected context. I have done this in a compiler for a game scripting language. I could have implemented the compiler with parse, but then I could not make use of Rebol constructs within my custom game dialect. By making the game commands normal fu

I'm now able to run a REBOL cron job on my home machine. The trick is to use the '-w' flag. I thought I was running the latest version of Core on the machines at work but I'll have to check that tomorrow. I guess the script is aborting early without '-w' when launched by Cron. Sometimes I r

[REBOL] Segfault from Cron

2003-12-01 Thread Karl Robillard
I'm trying to run a REBOL script from Cron (on RedHat 9) but it always causes a segmentation fault. I've tried a number of experiments (running simple scripts as various users, etc.) but the result is always the same. Has anyone else experienced this? -Karl -- To unsubscribe from this lis
