AppleEvents: Revo is back

2005-06-10 Thread David Brooks
We use RunRev with appleEvents on Macs as Web backends. (Yes, it's old fashioned, but that's the way we are.) To keep the profession from becoming overcrowded, RunRev has changed the magic 4-letter creator code at various times from MCRD to/from Revo. It seems as if RunRev 2.5 is MCRD. RunRe

I've had GREAT luck with the new version of Shao Sean's libSMTP, and dealt with the "Subject" issue recently. For the Subject, just put "SUBJECT: xxx yyy "&return as the first line of your message, and things will work well. I think the other entities (e.g., "CC:") work the same way. You

XML in cgi

I'm using Revolution to handle cgi scripts under Apache. Works well with text files. I'm encountering trouble when trying to use XML commands/functions. Because revCreateXMLTreeFromFile was added in Ver. 2, I'm assuming it is a part of the currently available Darwin engine (used for cgi). This

I was introduced to RunRev at the 2004 MacWorld. I spent the better part of the next 15 or so months converting a HC cgi backend to a RunRev backend -- with success. The biggest challenge was in getting Apache to produce AppleEvents. At RunRev West in 2005, Jerry Daniels showed some progr

We are using the two-year-old cgi engine and trying to manipulate MySQL databases with revExecuteSQL and revOpenDatabase. Presumably we need to find a stack to 'start using' that empowers these two functions. Does anyone know which stack it is? Where can we get a copy?? Thanks. ___
