Re: Determining a User's Name

Joe - Would environment variables work? - on Mac OS X there's $USER - on Win XP there's $USERNAME So you could do this: function currentUser switch the platform case MacOS return $USER break case Win32 return $USERNAME break end switch end currentUser

Linux installation

The only part of this I'm certain of is the desktop icon/link In terms of icons on desktops, it is not the window manager that counts. If you put the application into /opt and put an link and associated icon into /home/user/Desktop, in whatever WM they are using, if it supports icons on

Boy! It took you guys long enough! (Hugh smile) Thanks a lot, I suspected some such, but my searches for username turned up nothing in the Dictionary. Great List. Joe Wilkins On Apr 7, 2007, at 12:39 AM, Phil Davis wrote: Joe - Would environment variables work? - on Mac OS X there's

Users language

Can anyone tell me if it's possible to discover the language that a users computer is using? Is there a $USER - type environment variable which would give us English, French or whatever? Thanks, Mark ___ use-revolution mailing list

Re: Work around for Beep not working on RunRev 2.7.x+

You have a point. Maybe it would be easier to just make the beep only able to beep once. I also just got an email (from bugzilla) saying the WYSIWIG conflict of the background appearing white has been resolved. It was a minor bug but fixed now. On 4/5/07 1:27 PM, Richard Gaskin [EMAIL

[ANN] New game made with Rev

Hi all, as it is derbrill birth week (5 years in business, how fast time flies) I have been a busy bee the last few weeks and made a new game. ZACK! is a strategy game that’s delightfully addictive! Based on the concept of placing tiles to build bridges, each tile must match the color of

Re: [ANN] New game made with Rev

I was there playing, armed with instinct and strategy, I made careful choices... I know Malte has an online highscore board and I decided that I'd play to top that... after many rounds, the game used secret weapons, I thought that we had only four colors plus the bicolor tiles but then

A string doesn't equal itself

Bizarre. Get this: put 09114E715806 = 09114E715806 returns false. Is it interpreting this string as a number with an exponent? Something about math libraries? -- Jacqueline Landman Gay | [EMAIL PROTECTED] HyperActive Software | http://www.hyperactivesw.com

Re: A string doesn't equal itself

Hello. I would imagine that it is making a false detection of your string as a number. I replaced the Es with Fs and it worked fine. Until Revolution comes out with a correction, you'll have to make the comparison using a function to process the data. A sure-fire way to get this to work
