It seems to me that the issue of speed applies mostly to the
(mathematical) manipulation of numerical arrays; we need a complete
matrix algebra package as part of the engine. If we had such, I
suspect that virtually all of the desire for CompileIt!, and complaints
about speed, would be
The simplest possibility for the external route would be to be able to
pass (and use) to and from the external, handles to large RAM-based
sets of floating-point numbers; that was the solution I used in
Hypercard back when the Earth was still cooling, and it worked very
well.

If you are mostly writing for yourself, you can, of course, use RR to
produce a nice GUI, but pass all the time critical computations to, say
Matlab (or Octave, Matlab's GNU equivalent) using the shell commands.
But then, if that were the case, why not just use Matlab (or Octave)
directly?
Yes, as long as the constant conversion isn't required; I used handles
both within Hypercard and in the XTHNGs, along with two conversion
routines (compile hc variables into a floating-point array, and convert
a floating-point array into a hc variable); the conversion routines
were used
I have encountered this bug quite frequently, usually (but not always)
when I *add* a new global to a list of existing globals. For example,
if I have a set of globals used from card to card at the top of each
card script, e.g.,:
global a,b,c
and on a particular card I *add* another global,
Seems like it should be simple, but:
How does one remove the focus from a field *without* setting it to
another? For example, when the card with the field in question is
first opened, the focus is apparently not on anything (i.e., the field
has to clicked on to get the focus). How do I return
I wrote previously on this issue, and received Richard Gaskin's
suggestions, below. Neither of the cases he describes apply. It is
just a simple stack. Indeed, I copied the the few lines of code to a
new stack, and again got the same result in the player; it is as if the
variable thePath is
Thanks, Alex. I take it that means that my method of setting the path
of subsidiary folders won't work in Dreamcard Player. So what does one
do?

A minor detail no doubt, but setting the metal property to true (in OS
X) does *not* correctly emulate the metal windows in OS X. As with all
other windows RR, only the (now no longer demarcated) title bar (and
the extreme outside edges of the window) can be clicked on to drag the

Any information would be appreciated!

Without a doubt, a linear matrix algebra package, including
eigenvector/value extraction and singular value decomposition. Many
already exist as c and FORTRAN code (which amounts to same thing with
the ftoc translators). All we need is the wrapper...

I use it (well, Metacard) to run all the experiments in my lab, handle
the data, and often the data analyses; essentially, it replaced
hypercard that formerly did exactly the same thing for me (and, before
that, I used FutureBasic (and sometimes still do), which used to be
known as ZBasic).
R, the free software stats programming language uses a logo very
similar to RR; indeed, has used this logo for years
http://www.r-project.org/. RR might desire to design a new logo as R
has had this logo long before RR even existed. Just a thought.

Not true; just create the function with more input variables than you
would ever need to pass to it, then use the paramCount and params
functions within it to retrieve those passed.
