[REBOL] full names in sender Re:(2)
IIRC, that was a version of SELMA, but then RT did some maintenance work on the script en dumped full names? Rachid - Original Message - From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, September 23, 2000 01:03 Subject: [REBOL] Re: full names in sender You'll recall that before SELMA took over the list, there *were* full names in the header. Ingo and I discussed the "problem" and even had some solutions; none of mine ever got worked through enough to submit to RT for inclusion in Selma (or REBOL itself). ... Hi Kev, my version works for me and got sent to feedback (final version was #1467 22/Nov/1999, I think), after that I never heard about it. Same for help working on path values (#2729 12/Apr/2000). So I now just enjoy my working system, Hey Ingo! Could you send me your version? I've been thinking about working it into SELMA and sending the patch into RT -- since they asked if anybody had SELMA patches to contribute.

[REBOL] REALLY DISCOVER THE POWER OF REBOL Re:(4)
Hello, I'm not much of a programmer, but I've been following Rebol since it was Lava, and I like the direction it (or RT, or Carl) is taking us. Currently I'm enjoying Elan's book very much (great writing style, Elan!), and even though I haven't yet found my a good project for Rebol, I did manage to whip up a CGI-driven Instant Messenger (sorry folks, it's dead now =). I agree with Elan, that Rebol and RT will take us to new directions, silly as it may sound, I had the chance to play around with a Casio e-105 running WinCE. It holds great promise for the future, even though it's very limited right now, these "intelligent" machines will become very important (excuse the naive tone), and I certainly think embedded is the future. Even though Rebol is not small enough for embedded now (it needs an OS), remember what embedded meant ten years ago? Wrist watches have more RAM nowadays! ;o) So where is Rebol taking us today? Probably glue highway, for now at least. But what about tomorrow? Peer-to-peer, wireless, embedded? Who knows? (If you do, send me an email! ;o) I guess what I'm trying to say is: Carl won't f*ck something up in four years that took him 20 years to develop. Don't forget the enthousiasm you have for Rebol, couldn't possibly compare for Carl's... =) Good luck to all, Rachid - Original Message - From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, September 21, 2000 23:03 Subject: [REBOL] REALLY DISCOVER THE POWER OF REBOL Re:(3) It is a strange beast, indeed. RT depends on developers to create applications to show that REBOL is a viable alternative. Meanwhile, developers of the open source persuasion see tractor application development as RT's responsibility, feeling REBOL itself could be maintained by the open source community. This argument seems to crop up in relation to all sorts of products nowadays. It seems "open source" as a marketing element is here to stay. Somehow products that are "open source" have become attractive to customers in the same way shampoos are attractive when they have not been tested on laboratory animals. Only time will tell whether or not open source software like operating systems and programming languages will become the standard vs. commercial, closed source options. I tend to think open source operating systems and programming languages WILL become the standard because of how we use them. Like electricity, gasoline, etc., they are becoming resources which need to be standardized. I see an inherent mistrust of closed source products amongst many developers because a closed source product can be taken away as quickly as it is given. It's kind of like not wanting to commit to a relationship with someone who hides things from you. This is how I perceive this behavior, at least. -Ryan Things like Javascript have splintered badly, but that's because they were not Open Source, and vendors implemented their own closed source in different ways. All that happens is that people like Elan, Gabrial, Lemir, and Joel don't waste time ruminating about how REBOL is implemented. Rather, they can contribute working code to the project. Carl would still control what goes into the kernal. But Carl doesn't want that to happen, and so it won't. Pity, because it might free up some of his developers to create real-life reference applications, and then maybe more people would put REBOL to work. -Ted.

Hi Oldes,
This allows you to avoid that..
read [
scheme: 'ftp

pass: "password"

So that you don't have to construct that all the time, you could do use
the
following code..
;---
config: make object! [pass: "password" user: "username"]
authenticate: func [
{Returns a filled scheme block complete with password}
url [url!] {The url to parse}
/local url-value url-obj

url-obj: make net-utils/url-parser []
set url-obj/vars none
url-value: url

;---Return Url data set

user: (config/user)

[REBOL] CGI: debug mode Re:
Hello, I've seen it in a lot of CGI Rebol scripts: place the 'print "Content-type: text/html"' first.

It wouldn't even tell me what the error was, I just got a generic error page. I've spent many hours trying to understand what the problem was, then I used a dirty trick (I simulated its execution *by hand*) and found out that the Content-Type wasn't being issued because there was a loading-time error, so even the very first instruction ( print "Content-Type: text/plain^/" ) wasn't executed. This happened online only, the offline execution was OK. Argh. Now the problem's solved, but it would be nice'n'useful to have a command line option to make sure that, in case *anything* gets written to standard output, the very first thing printed is "Content-Type: text/plain^/" or some other Content-Type. Now, if the script issues "Content-Type: text/plain^/" itself, that's OK, if the script issues "Content-Type: text/html^/" that's OK, if the script issues "Content-Type: movie/sci-fi^/", that's OK... but if the script issues anything else or if there's an early error, the REBOL interpreter issues "Content-Type: text/plain^/" *first*. So we can see what the hell's going on. :-) I realize this would bring performance down a bit, so it should be a separate, non-default choice. I was thinking something like --cgidebug or -d, like this: REBOL --cgidebug --secure none cgi-script.r REBOL -ds cgi-script.r Or at least have "Content-Type: text/plain^/" printed before any early error message when using the standard --cgi ((-: [[[ MY-MESSAGES-TO-FEEDBACK-KEEP-BOUNCING-BACK MODE OFF ]]] Alessandro Pini ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) "Dave, about that monolith..."

[REBOL] Bug in Rebol/Core font selection under Win2000
Hello, I've finally uncovered a bug in Rebol/Core. When I start Rebol from the initial state (standard font, not fullscreen), I see the standard Win2000 system font (the bold one). If I set the font to Courier New 9, and close Rebol, it does not remember this next time I start Rebol. If I select the font, then maximise the Rebol console, and then quit, it does register my changes and starts with Courier New 9, the next time (maximised of course). If I then 'de-maximise' the console to its original dimensions and quit, Courier New 9 is retained. I guess it has something to do with the new Opentype standard? Regards, Rachid

[REBOL] Off-topic: Improving career chances
Hello, Sorry to post off-topic, but I highly regard all you seasoned Rebol-allies, so if you don't feel compelled to reply, just ignore this post... =) My careerpath was looking fine until about a week ago, when I received the opportunity to move to India. Of course, I would have to get a job there, so I started to look around on those jobsites, and I was startled by the amount of experience that is required for most jobs in Indian IT. 4-8 years seems to be the rule... Unfortunately, I don't have that much experience, and I can't change that. But I can change my skills, better them, in fact. So I was looking to extend my current programming abilities (which include Rebol ;o), Javascript, PHP), which do not include any "real" languages, to some more languages.

[REBOL] Windows NT 4.0 / Apache / Rebol Configuration Re:(2)
Hello, On NT 4.0 in my CMD.EXE window, why does e:\rebol\rebol.exe --cgi sample.r product no output, but e:\rebol\rebol.exe --cgi sample.r | more produce the correct output? (My configurations etc are listed in the message below.) When you run Rebol in --cgi mode, it is only supposed to produce output to a webserver, never to the console! Otherwise if your CGI would be working, it would open a rebol window everytime you ran a cgi script (apache doesn't have its own console). But is CGI running yet? Have you tried a script like this: #!path/to/rebol.exe -cs REBOL [] print "Content-Type: text/plain^/^/" print "Just testing!" Name this script test.cgi and place it in your /cgi-bin/ as defined in your config. The association you made for Rebol only matters to your NT system, NOT to Apache, if you would like to set Apache up for .r execution (and I could never be bothered) you must add an AddHandler command to your config. Put one below "AddHandler cgi-script .cgi" that reads: "AddHandler cgi-script .r" and that should work (never tried it, though)... Good luck, Rachid

[REBOL] IP reading enhancement, WAS: Searchable archive/ tcp/ip questions Re:(9)
Hello! You cannot, because "Internet IP address" is not a clearly defined term. Some users have multiple Internet connections, some none at all. Also, not all platforms provide APIs that allow REBOL to get IP addresses on individual interfaces, not to mention the difficulty of even figuring out which interface connects you to "the Internet". Plus there are complications with IP-NAT, proxies... Yeah, you're right about all of that, but I was focused on just my home situation (and those of my friends), without the NATs and proxies, because... Why do you need to know at all ? :-) I'm building a buddy-list program (very stripped down ICQ) in /View. I wanted to do direct IP messaging, instead of routing it via a server (HTTP, or otherwise), that's why... =) I guess it's not as easy as I'd thought, that's okay, I have plenty of other projects to do in the meantime... Wait! I just thought up a solution! It's a bit elaborate, but not too elaborate: 1. Have a page at a (free) webserver that prints out your current IP address... 2. Have your script read that page... 3. Have Rebol parse the page! Hurrah! Solved it! Thanks, Holger, keep up the good work! Regards, Rachid PS.

Perhaps a refinement that reads out the PPP-adapter's IP address, instead of the primary IP address? REBOL gets the IP address from the host name, using DNS lookup, and this is arguably the correct thing to do. The problem is that some programs use IP addresses for all kinds of things, and this easily causes problems on multi-homed hosts because a program has no way of knowing which IP address is correct. As a rule, a program ideally should never use local IP addresses for anything other than printing debugging/diagnostic information. Local IP addresses should definitely never be used in a protocol in any way. Because of that, adding refinements to extend the current IP address API in REBOL would only make things worse, because it would require scripts to be changed by every user so the refinements match the configuration of the machine they are running on -- a bad idea. Unfortunately in REBOL/Core 2.2 the FTP implementation uses local IP addresses in such an incorrect way, which is causing problems for some users. The correct thing is not to change the way REBOL determines the local IP address, but rather to fix the protocols so they do not need to know local IP addresses at all :-). FTP in REBOL/View does it correctly, and the fix will also be in the next /Core release. -- Holger Kruse [EMAIL PROTECTED]

[REBOL] Newbie question #2 - Pattern making and using? Re:(7)
and I need an expression that will come back as TRUE for foo: "Old yeller done gone and ate my fluffy kitty." or.. if found dog: "old yeller" AND if found "ate" AND if found cat: "fluffy kitty" then dog-ate-cat: true It seems to me you're taking them all for a walk! =) I've just followed a course on natural language processing, where the professor showed us a system he had helped develop that interpreted sentences and converted them to propositional logic. It took about two years to make and was very impressive. Your questions make it seem as if you want the Rebol Mailing list guru's to solve all your problems for you. Do you have a system you would like to implement in Rebol, or are you starting from scratch? In short: what is your purpose? Regards, Rachid

[REBOL] Shakespeare sonnets
Hello, A while ago, someone, I believe it was Allen Kamp, or Ralph Roberts, posted a message about a script that could create Shakespearian sonnets. And I wanted to demonstrate that to one of my professors, because I believe that the script "learned" from existing e-text Shakespeare sonnets. Is that correct? And where can I find it? I believe it was based on Allen's RNILL as well, so if it's you, Allen, could you please point me in the right direction? Thank you, Rachid
[REBOL] Detagging..
Hi! Belated happy new year to you all! I'm working on a news script, and needed a way to strip input from HTML-tags, so I conjured up this little function: detag: func [ "Removes HTML-tags from a string, file or url, leaves special characters intact, except nbsp;." source [string!] "String, file or url to detag." 'target [word!] "Copies the result to this target." /custom block [block!] "Define a block of special characters to be replaced, i.e. [^"Aacute;^" ^"Â^"]." /local tag string list a b ][ list: ["br" " " "/p" "^/" "nbsp;" " "] if custom [append list block] string: copy source set to-word get 'target string for i 1 (length? list) 2 [ a: i b: i + 1 replace/all get target list/:a list/:b ] while [ parse get target [to "" thru "" to end] ][ parse get target [to "" copy tag thru "" (remove/part find get target tag length? tag) to end] ] get target ] Feel free to optimise all this, I bloated it a little bit, because of br, /p and nbsp; - so I've added a /custom refinement. Use it to strip any special characters. I wanted to add a refinement that did that automatically, but I was too lazy to figure out a really efficient way to handle the special characters (like: - any letter - acute/circ/etc. - ;) Have fun, keep coding!

[REBOL] What's next for REBOL... Re:(5)
Hehe, now this is such a coincidence, the first time in years I can't check my email for a week, and a thread like this comes along. Carl, your plan sounds revolutionary, I would be glad to be a (small) part of it, thank you for sharing it with us. Please count me in on the beta-list. Third time, second time publicly: Carl, YOU THE MAN! You're half a world away from me, but your work has always been close... Thank you, and keep up the outstanding work.

[REBOL] OT: P300 slower than P133
Elliott wrote: Oh yeah? Well my brother's (single) P-300 (16MB) can't keep up with Dad's P-133 (32MB). Any Windows95 helpers out there? Please reply directly. We know bro' needs more memory (and both need more HD), but it shouldn't be that bad, should it? Dad also has Norton Antivirus in background and bro' doesn't. Of course it's that bad! It's Windows. Bro needs at least 64mb, your dad should have that as well, speeds things up incredibly. Just remember, Windows does not have a rom with all system functions integrated. It has to load it's entire OS into RAM, that's why your brother's P300 is swapping like crazy, therefore slowing it down. Also, try running in DOS, that should speed it up as well... Regards, Rachid
[REBOL] RFF: empty? for blocks Re:(3)
Hello Ted, Here's something else that I find confusing: list: [ 1 2 3 4 ] == [ 1 2 3 4 ] list2: next list == [ 2 3 4 ] clear list == [] list2: == [ 2 3 4 ] next list2: ** Script Error: Out of Range or Past End About every other operation I try with list2 errors. Exceptions are that I can assign it to another variable and print it. Suddenly I remembered, list2 is nothing more than the location of 'next list, so the printing thing I can't explain, but take a look at this: pnt1: [1 2 3 4 5] == [1 2 3 4 5] pnt2: next pnt1 == [2 3 4 5] replace pnt1 4 6 == [1 2 3 6 5] print pnt2 2 3 6 5 See? I guess you have to use 'copy to be sure. Regards, Rachid
[REBOL] RFF: empty? for blocks Re:(2)
Hi Eric, Empty? isn't a synonym for tail?, as far as I know. Your example is a weird construction, because if I try to test empty? with tail I do this: test: [1 2 3] == [1 2 3] tail test == [] empty? test == false Why do you do: test-block: tail [1 2 3 4 5] It strikes me strange to define 'test-block with the index at the tail. It influences 'test-block from the get-go: test-block: tail [1 2 3 4 5] == [] index? test-block == 6 head test-block == [1 2 3 4 5] index? test-block == 6 While: test: [1 2 3] == [1 2 3] index? test == 1 tail test == [] index? test == 1 The index is set to 6 no matter what, and I don't think that's "healthy" for a block. =) Regards, Rachid
[REBOL] Running unauthorised CGI Re:(2)
Hi Russell, I hope I get this reply out to you in time. Perldiver is a perl script that just outputs all the CGI environment variables, with some other host server info thrown in as well. It took me two hours to find a script like this, it's insane but true, and if you want to find it, just search for "perldiver" in Altavista, that should do the trick (eventually did it for me ;o). Just upload this script to your provider's cgi-bin directory, chngmod it to 755, and access it with your browser. This shows you the host's operating system. I tried two different providers, and one ran Linux on ix86, and the other ran FreeBSD. I had to guess that the Linux server had Libc5 installed, but it worked, so I hope yours has FreeBSD (just one Rebol exe =). Setting up rebol is easy afterwards. Copy the executable to that same cgi-bin directory, chngmod it to 755, write a simple Rebol script like this: #! rebol -cs REBOL [] print "Content-type: text/plain^/^/" print "Gee, this Rebol CGI thing is really simple!" quit ..save it as test.cgi and upload it to your server, chngmod it to 755. To test it, browse to your new script. I camouflaged Rebol a bit by changing its name to "info" and then referring to: #! info -cs in my scripts, probably won't help much when they bust me! =) Ayway, that should do the trick.

[REBOL] Encouraging functional programming Re:(8)
Hi, I've been following this thread (though it goes over my head a bit) with interest, but with this one you guys have lost me! =) First of all what are Fibonnacci numbers? Second, perhaps someone could explain to me what Ladislav's code does? -Original Message- I calculate the Fibonnacci numbers without recursion using REBOL. For example fib 100 == 3.54224848179262E+20 How would you calculate it with recursion? Jerry fib: func [first second n] [ either n = 1 [first] [ either n = 2 [second] [ fib second first + second n - 1 ] ] ] fib 1.0 1.0 100 == 3.54224848179262E+20 Ladislav
[REBOL] virtual pop server Re:(5)
Hi everyone! I'm probablyway to late with this post, since I don't have daily internet access anymore, nor daily Rebol exposure, it's great to see the list so alive! All those new users, even from India, hurrah! But anyway, on to the problem: William wrote: My username is 'user1:mail.myname.co.uk' _not_ user1 Using some ones previous suggestion of a popspec.r file seems to work though. Although perhaps this is something that should be addressed in the future. Your username isn't user1:mail.myname.co.uk either. It's a "trick" Demon Internet use this method as well. All your mail gets dumped in one big mailbox, so I can send you mail at: [EMAIL PROTECTED] and you receive just as easily as [EMAIL PROTECTED], at least, it ends up in the same mailbox. When you check mail for bigcahuna:mail.yourname.co.uk, the server filters all bigcahuna addressed mail for you, so it *seems* as if you've got unlimited pop mailboxes, while you just have *one* big one. With Demon, entering "yourname" as your username/id instead of user1:mail.yourname.co.uk (or [EMAIL PROTECTED]) will get you *all* the mail. Try using that in Rebol. I hope I have informed you somewhat. Regards, Rachid
