[REBOL] REBOL: THE OFFICIAL GUIDE Re:(5)
I never planed on buying it any place else, I had to look there to passifiy my frugal wife. I still keep hear about the $15 I could have saved on "Embedded Systems Building Blocks" if I'd done it her way. I'll be placing my order with RebolPress just as soon as the wife is not looking at the credit card statement... :-) She is sleeping now. I just put in my order but after I clicked the "Record Order" button it popped up and said "Script Error bla bla bla" then switched to the screen that said "Thank you for ordering". I tried to use the back button to see what "bla bla bla" really said but it went back to the "Record Order" button screen. Didn't want to hit the button again.

[REBOL] An appeal to keep /Core Re:(5)
As an example, REBOL modules seem to want to reside in a single home directory. Perl uses a mechanism where module naming structure and directory structure are parallel. Microware's OS9 embedded operating system uses a concept of "Memory Modules". Memory could be EPROM/FLASH/RAM in this context. There is a "Module Directory" much like your standard "DIR". You load memory modules as you need them, they get entered in to the Module Directory so that other processes can locate them (their contents are relocatable). The header of a module has a Revision Number. Say 8006 for example. At boot time the kernel searches out any modules and links the one with the highest Rev in to the MDIR. This allows you to burn in newer code in to EPROM with out having to erase the old code. There is also a link count of a module, as things need to use the resources of that module the link count is incremented (requested via MDIR search/link). They decrement the link count when done with what they needed. If the count becomes zero that memory is freed (when in RAM). My system is set up so that normally every thing is running from FLASH, but when debugging I can load a module with higher Rev into RAM to debug it. There is also a CRC 'wrapper' to check the integrity of the module at load time. Just some ideas to be pondered... This mechanism evolved to meet the problem of managing a growing body of standard modules - it wasn't gratuitous. While
[REBOL] Any one done a site downloader?
Has any one done a Rebol script that can go to a site like http://www.egroups.com, and download all of the files in the 'file valut'? In the file valut it comes up with a web page that you have to point and click on each thing that you download. Since I HATE pointclick I figured Rebol could easily do this, but I didn't want to reinvent the wheel if I didn't have to. There could be many subdirectories in the 'file vault'. You need to enter a password and email address to get access to your areas.

[REBOL] Finding current dir? Re:(2)
If you want to use the directory of the bat file that launched the script then technically it is the parent of the script. You will find that path of that in system/script/parent/path True, but if trim.bat and trim.r are both in the same directory in the path, say N:\UTL, and I run from the "current dir" say N:\C\410, don't I still get N:\UTL\ as the path to the parent batch file, instead of the "current dir", N:\C\410?
[REBOL] Finding current dir?
I have question about what is considered the "current directory"? Under Windoze95, with rebol.exe in my path. I can be in any directory any place on my machine or Novell network type "rebol" to start up Rebol. I can do 'print what-dir' and get exactly what I expect, say N:\C\410 for example, if I was in N:\C\410 when I started Rebol. But if I run "rebol N:\UTL\trim.r" when I do 'print what-dir' no matter where I am, I get N:\UTL\ as the "current directory". The user guide documents the latter behavior in http://www.rebol.com/users/fildir.html by saying 'current dir comes from system/script/path'. Thats all well and good, that I know now the script path, but how do I find out what the current directory is? Rebol knew it before I started a script. Is this knowlage lost, if not where is it? I don't see the logic of this "current directory" behavior? Any thing wrong with having a real "current directory" and a "script path" both? To actually get on with my job this is what I did in my batch file: copy N:\UTL\trim.r /y start /w rebol -sqw trim.r... del trim.r A dumb solution, but one that works to get the current dir, and lets me move on to more important issues of the project.
[REBOL] Command Line Args Re:(2)
system/script/args is only for arguments passed with DO/ARGS. system/options/args is for arguments passed from the command line. I was going by what was in section http://www.rebol.com/users/operunning.html of Core User Guide 2.2.0. system/options/ does not appear any place in that document that I saw. Doing a 'probe system' to see what might be in the system object causes my Rebol, under Windoze95, to lock up. Not a good thing.

[REBOL] Command Line Args Re:(4)
I just returned back, so I don't know exactly what is the discussion all about, but if you are looking for command line options, try: You just missed the fact that the rebol.exe has never read the rebol.doc file, specifically http://www.rebol.com/users/operunning.html , where it says use 'system/script/args/', when what it should really be is 'system/options/args'. I'll send in a official feedback.r bug report so hopefully it will get fixed. If you want to see the structure of system object, use Bo's %browse-system.r script If you don't have it, I can send you a copy ... Yes please. In the case of 'simple things should be simple to do': probe system/options/args gets args probe system/options shows the options object probe system crashes rebol and requires me to use browse-system.r script???
[REBOL] Command Line Args Re:(5)
btw: %1 and %2 are substituted with real filenames at the command line, right? Right. data: do read_file data: read to-file first args ; above one line should be enough. It would have been if I'd seen 'to-file' in the manual, I missed it in there. http://www.rebol.com/users/valfile.html Time to read it again I guess. hmm, you have two options. You can change directory inside your .bat file, or not? Typical DOS stuff: CD mydir That assumes I know what directory I'm in, and know how to return to it when I leave it. I wonder if some thing like SET HERE=CD would work? Probably not. or you can change directory in REBOL script: change-dir mydir Probably the better thing to do, if I can figure out where the trim.bat was run from. your script is run, place what-dir in the beginning of your script. Of course run your REBOL session without -w parameter to see the output :-) Hope this helps, Yes, thank you. Time for some more manual reading...
[REBOL] Command Line Args Re:(6)
I don't know why they changed it, but let's believe RT had reasons to do so, while producing not so logical code, e.g.: I assume that they did have good reason to change. But nothing that can be typed at the system console should crash the system. Doing 'probe system' or any thing similar, should at least elicit at "you can't do that" with a pointer to some documentation saying why it can't be done. Looks like it locks up in some type of recursive loop...
[REBOL] Associative Arrays in Rebol? Re:(2)
In article [EMAIL PROTECTED], you wrote: I think select and paths should come close to what you're asking: select [ a "this is a" b "this is b" ] 'a == "this is a" I'll have to ponder that for a while but my first thought is that doing it that way would make it difficult to populate it from a data file of arbitrary data. Here is a snipit from the Awk doc's that explains what I'm after. http://www.gnu.org/manual/gawk-3.0.3/html_chapter/gawk_12.html Arrays in awk superficially resemble arrays in other programming languages; but there are fundamental differences. In awk, you don't need to specify the size of an array before you start to use it. Additionally, any number or string in awk may be used as an array index, not just consecutive integers. In most other languages, you have to declare an array and specify how many elements or components it contains. In such languages, the declaration causes a contiguous block of memory to be allocated for that many elements. An index in the array usually must be a positive integer; for example, the index zero specifies the first element in the array, which is actually stored at the beginning of the block of memory. Index one specifies the second element, which is stored in memory right after the first element, and so on. It is impossible to add more elements to the array, because it has room for only as many elements as you declared. (Some languages allow arbitrary starting and ending indices, e.g., `15 .. 27', but the size of the array is still fixed when the array is declared.) A contiguous array of four elements might look like this, conceptually, if the element values are eight, "foo", "" and 30: Only the values are stored; the indices are implicit from the order of the values. Eight is the value at index zero, because eight appears in the position with zero elements before it. Arrays in awk are different: they are associative. This means that each array is a collection of pairs: an index, and its corresponding array element value: Element 4 Value 30 Element 2 Value "foo" Element 1 Value 8 Element 3 Value "" We have shown the pairs in jumbled order because their order is irrelevant. One advantage of associative arrays is that new pairs can be added at any time. For example, suppose we add to the above array a tenth element whose value is "number ten". The result is this...
[REBOL] Money Trouble? Re:(2)
Small fractions of the money datatype are now correctly rounded to two digits. Properly when dealing with money it is best to use Binary Coded Decimal (BCD) math. This removes all rounding issues.

[REBOL] read dns:// and dynamic ip Re:(3)
Windoze behaves the same way. I keep getting the IP of my network card instead of the address assigned by my ISP. I posted a script a while ago that allowed you to set up a webserver on a dynamic IP address. The trick to obtaining your IP address is to read an external page that gives you your ip address. I needed it to be all done in Rebol because of other things I was going to do with Rebol. It was going to be used by people that are not that computer literate so starting a program for this, and a program for that, etc. would not be a good thing.

Made sense to the astronomers that came up with the idea. Now we computer people just assume that the day starts at midnight when we use the Julian Calendar.

[REBOL] Doomsday Algorith / Day of the Week was bpaddocks revival of Zeller's congruence Re:(2)
"Doomsday Algorithm." His algorithm is simple enough to perform in your head for any date in history, with just a little practice. Knocking out a Rebol implementation is on my todo list. A good starting point is http://www.interlog.com/~r937/doomsday.html I don't know Doomsday but will take a look. The problem with "any date in history" is that before the year 1753 (Britain was the last hold out) there where many different calenders in the world, the more you go back the more there where. So the same event, say a eclipse that would happen on a global scale, can be recorded as drastically different dates. Working on a Time Machine has its uses...you get to learn calenders... :-)

[REBOL] XML-RPC
I wrote a paper on XML (Extensible Markup Language) for: http://www.chipcenter.com/circuitcellar/february00/c0200r30.htm Why would we here care about a thing such as XML? The article covers such things as XML-RPC which is a Remote Procedure Calling system, and Distributed Objects. Any one want to run a big job on lots of computers using Rebol maybe? :-) Alas I wrote this paper in early December before I started using Rebol, would have been good to get it in the article. -- What is XML-RPC? XML-RPC is a Remote Procedure Calling protocol that works over the Internet. XML-RPC Specification: Simple cross-platform distributed computing, based on the standards of the Internet. It's a specification and a set of implementations that allow software running on disparate operating systems, running in different environments to make procedure calls over the Internet. It's remote procedure calling using HTTP as the transport and XML as the encoding. It's designed to be as simple as possible, while allowing complex data structures to be transmitted, processed, and returned. An XML-RPC message is an HTTP-POST request. The body of the request is in XML. A procedure executes on the server and the value it returns is also formatted in XML. Ken MacLeod has more about XML and Distributed Objects on his site. SAX 1.0: The Simple API for XML SAX 1.0: a free API for event-based XML parsing. SAX is a standard interface for event-based XML parsing. What is an Event-Based Interface? There are two major types of XML (or SGML) APIs: tree-based APIs; and event-based APIs. A tree-based API compiles an XML document into an internal tree structure, then allows an application to navigate that tree. The Document Object Model (DOM) working group at the World-Wide Web consortium is developing a standard tree-based API for XML and HTML documents. An event-based API, on the other hand, reports parsing events (such as the start and end of elements) directly to the application through callbacks, and does not usually build an internal tree. The application implements handlers to deal with the different events, much like handling events in a graphical user interface. If your XML document were 20 MB large (or even just 2 MB), it would be very inefficient to construct and traverse an in-memory parse tree just to locate this one piece of contextual information; an event-based interface would allow you to find it in a single pass using very little memory.

[REBOL] EMAIL Job script?
In the past I saw a script that would read a POP mailbox waiting for a command to it. It was smart enough to not rexecute the same command more than once. If the command was not to it, it didn't do any thing at all with the message. Now that I need some thing like that, I can't find the script again. I've looked at rebol.com and .org, jobbot.r and rebserv.r are similar but they are not the one that I'm remembering. Can some one point me in the right direction please? -- For information on any of the following check out my WEB site at: http://www.biogate.com/bpaddock/ Chemical Free Air Conditioning/No CFC's, Chronic Pain Relief, Echofone, Electromedicine, Electronics, Explore!, Free Energy, Full Disclosure, KeelyNet, Matric Limited, Neurophone, Oil City PA, Philadelphia Experiment. http://www.uCOS-II.com

[REBOL] Ping?
Has any one done a version of 'Ping' for Rebol? Maybe there is a easier way to do what I want: To keep peace in the family I hooked up a Ethernet connection from my wifes machine to my own. So now we can share one MODEM and both be on Internet at the same time. The software for this can be found at http://www.pppindia.com . Any way I want to 'ping' my machine from my wifes, if it gets a response then I want to configure her machine one way, if no response then use Dial Up Networking on her machine. Is there a way to do this with out running a special server on my machine? For that matter can the MODEM sharing thing be done using Rebol? -- For information on any of the following check out my WEB site at: http://www.biogate.com/bpaddock/ Chemical Free Air Conditioning/No CFC's, Chronic Pain Relief, Echofone, Electromedicine, Electronics, Explore!, Free Energy, Full Disclosure, KeelyNet, Matric Limited, Neurophone, Oil City PA, Philadelphia Experiment. http://www.uCOS-II.com
[REBOL] REBOL/View Re:(6)
b If any one every has simular problems and needs to clean out b their mailbox before downloading, there are POP3 cleaning You can easyly clean up your mailbox with REBOL... didn't you know that? :-) Yes I knew it, but at the time expedience was more important than my current limited skills with Rebol would allow me to do it quickly using Rebol. It is also important to avoid "If the only tool you have is a hammer, then every problem looks like a nail". Rebol does look like a very nice hammer. :-)
[REBOL] Ping? Re:(2)
Has any one done a version of 'Ping' for Rebol? The problem with ping is that it requires access to raw sockets, and on many operating systems (including Unix) this requires superuser privileges, so the REBOL binary would have to be run by root or with setuid root. Is there a way to do this with out running a special server on my machine? You don't need *special* servers, just *some* server to connect to. You could e.g. install an ftp server and try to connect to it (using tcp://), and see if you get a response. Let me rephrase that. If I do a PING from my wifes machine, some thing on my machine is responding to the PING, but I'm not running any specific service. I'm assuming the response to PING from my machine is coming from Echo 7/tcp or udp? I'm assuming Echo is part of the base TCP code. I'm doing this in Windoze95. So then I should be able to open tcp to echo to look for a response?

Me too. And since I haven't opened VIEW yet, there's been no dancing here. There's a glitch somewhere in the Notice list. I've even tried unsubscribing from the notice list and I'm still getting the message. As for View, I don't even know what it is. I've yet to see a description that tells me why I'd want it. I see on the web site a beta was released, but still no info on why I'd want it, or what it does. I've been ignoring the discussion in the list here of what would be available in the future as I have problems to solve today. Only so much time to go around.

[REBOL] [REBOL] one file user guide ? Re:(2)
Is there a version of the user guide that is downloadable (and printable) in ONE file ? Someone mentioned he made a pdf version from the beta docs ... Maybe, he'll do this again (despite the lengthy discussion on what format to be used ... In http://www.rebol.org web section there is a script to combine small web pages in to "one big one". Maybe that would do it? I know I want some thing that I can feed my printer and go away and come back when its done, not set here clicking on each of the HTML files...
[REBOL] http:password\? Re:(2)
I'm trying to loggin to a web page that needs a name and password. The problem is the name has a "\" in it. This cases the URL parsing to barf. http://my\name:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Is this at all similar to my e-mail problem (subject - User Names), where the user name included the @ symbol? Translating the solution would result in: read [ scheme: 'http user: "my\name" pass: "password" host: "www.webpage.com" ] It sounds like it. Maybe some more details will help clarify the problem. I'm trying to get data out of SQLServer database. With Internet Explore I connect to the host, enter http://sqlsrv/vendor then I'm asked for my user name (my\name), and password in a box that pops up. What I want to do is use the html-batch.r script on rebol.org to download the pages for me so I don't have to click on each one of the links and get them one at time. There server comes back with Error 401 Access Denied when I try it with Rebol. I'll try the suggestions I've been given here latter today and see if they solved the problem.

[REBOL] User Guide in PDF 8) Re:(8)
My next project will involve realtime conversion of database output to pdf.. "HTMLDOC" that you can get from http://www.easysw.com/ does this, as well as comes with source code if you want it. Might give a start to converting to Rebol... :-) So, if Acrobat were installed, and we could output to PDF, Acrobat could be used it as a print/preview and print module. If you install GhostScript/GhostView and optionally Redmon (if on Windoze95) you can output PDF with out Acrobat, at least to a degree that is generally useful. http://www.cs.wisc.edu/~ghost/ http://www.cs.wisc.edu/~ghost/gsview/gsprint.html http://www.ghostscript.com/ Source is available. -- For information on any of the following check out my WEB site at: http://www.biogate.com/bpaddock/ Chemical Free Air Conditioning/No CFC's, Chronic Pain Relief, Echofone, Electromedicine, Electronics, Explore!, Free Energy, Full Disclosure, KeelyNet, Matric Limited, Neurophone, Oil City PA, Philadelphia Experiment. http://www.uCOS-II.com
