ANN: PowerTools

All- Finally! I'm pleased to announce the release of PowerTools version 1.0. PowerTools is a drop-in replacement for the standard IDE tools palette. It works on OSX, Windows, and linux in LiveCode and MetaCard environments. It's been in beta test for over a year, and I am deeply appreciative for a

Re: [OT] Text analysis and author, anyone done it?

It can be done statistically. Various methods have been proposed and used. One general kind of measure is the probability of another word coming, as a function of the past n words. Another is to measure the length of gap between occurrences of pairs of a given word. There is technical literature

Hi Bob, This is definitely new territory for me but I think perhaps the "with messages" option of the wait command does what you want. The dictionary indicates that "with messages" allows the user to carry on doing other things in LC while it is waiting for suspended handler to to resume. Pete Mol

I didn't get that from the dictionary entry for wait, although I guess everything after "until" is just a compound condition. Never thought of that, thanks for the idea. Pete Molly's Revenge On Fri, Jun 24, 2011 at 1:53 PM, J. Landman Gay wrote: > On 6/24/11 2:

This works for what I understand the original scenario was. If you click button 1, it waits either until the 10 seconds has elapsed or until button 2 is pressed. :) Add 2 buttons to a new stack; 1st button script; on mouseUp set the uFlag of this card to false put the millisecs + 1000
