All touches come in 1 2 3 and 4 finger flavors. A rightswipe is a 1 finger swipe to the right. A 2rightswipe is a 2 finger right swipe. At first swipes didn't work for me at all. Now they work reliably. I don't think the iPad got smarter. I think my fingers are getting smarter. I think (but

jfromurl is only on iOS (iPhone/iPad). Michael and I do talk, but so far the development on iOS and Android is completely independent. We are struggling up a steep learning curve and trying to cope with both would make our heads explode. Some day it would be nice to bring them closer together,

Hey Eric, The jal/jw'' combo absolutely rocks!! It did take about 40 seconds to download the files while on my iPhone 3GS and the return button was highlighted during this time and the phone non responsive. It may be worth noting this delay in the instructions or even better use some sort of a

I echo Bob's remarks - adding WOW! Nice job. To be fair, I didn't expect to be as impressed with the local help as I am after trying it. Having Henry's JforCers is really nice for new users. It would be lovely to have an entry document oriented to this new environment, and now the foundations

For unicode strings, the width of a word is not the sum of its individual glyphs. Its height is not the maximum over its individual glyph either. So that I doubt if that can be done in pure J. Чтв, 31 Май 2012, Raul Miller писал(а): On Tue, May 29, 2012 at 9:34 PM, Eric Iverson

The iPhone version of J sets the value of UNAME to 'Darwin' this is usually the value set for mac systems. I realize the iOS and mac versions are very similar but there are significant differences the most important being no 2!:0 shell calls for iOS. How can a running j script distinguish iOS

White space is accumulating at the top of the log on the iPad. You can get to the top quickly on the iPad by tapping the black bar at the top of the screen. I am not noticing any launch images on the iPad. I am confused about the swipes. When are single swipes needed and when are double swipes

The log starts with a bunch of blank lines so that your first entries are near the textfield. I don't think any more get added and if you add enough lines to the log they will eventually be discarded. This is a nuisance with the statusbar shortcut to scroll to the top, but I don't see what else to
