Re: palette drag region
Hi Richard: Any way to make a palette in MC with the drag region on the left side rather than the top? If not in the box, anyone have a cross-platform external for this? I cannot help with a true palette, but this may be an option and it is cross-platform. Create a graphic as a 'false grab-bar' and set the script to the following: local tGrab,xOff,yOff on mouseDown put true into tGrab put item 1 of the loc of this cd - item 1 of the mouseLoc into xOff put item 2 of the loc of this cd - item 2 of the mouseLoc into yOff end mouseDown on mouseMove if tGrab then if the mouse is up then put false into tGrab exit mouseMove end if put item 1 of the screenMouseLoc into smLoc1 put item 2 of the screenMouseLoc into smLoc2 set the loc of this stack to smLoc1+xOff,smLoc2+yOff end if end mouseMove /H Hugh Senior The Flexible Learning Company Consultant Programming Software Solutions Fax/Voice: +44 (0)1483.27 87 27 Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Web: www.flexibleLearning.com Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/metacard@lists.runrev.com/ Info: http://www.xworlds.com/metacard/mailinglist.htm Please send bug reports to [EMAIL PROTECTED], not this list.
mp3 tags
Hi folks, i found a very fine url about my question (15 minutes ago ;-) If you are interested, check this out http://albumid.cjb.net/ Looks very useful. Now i will see, if i understand something of that :-) If somebody already has some sample-work concerning mp3 and MetaCard, please drop a line.

Hi folks, has anybody on this list experience or can give hint on how one could possibly extract some MP3 information from the header of that file? Any hints are welcome...

Re: mark cards by finding x in field y
In a message dated 8/5/01 3:41:34 PM, Geoff Canyon [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: mark cards by finding x in field y Would this work: mark cards by finding string it in field title Alternatively, unless you need the marking, you could simply use: find string it in field title As a final alternative, you might name the cards with the titles, which would allow: go card it To do the author and first line searches, you could maintain arrays which store the card names based on the first line and/or the author. Or just revert to the search for those two. gc Thanks Geoff. I thought I might not get a response because it was such basic stuff. I wrestled with your suggestion find string, but settled on find whole (not sure there is any actual difference in this case). The otherwise unchanged scripts now work fine. I still don't know what the problem was. Your other suggestions I have already tried in the stack, but thanks anyway. The cards are all named after the first n characters of the paper abstract. Yippee. Off to the lawyers it goes.

[Fwd: SANS NewsBites] (buffer overflow bugs)
Just got the latest SANS newsletter and apparently I'm not the only one who's dumbfounded by the number of buffer overflow bugs in server software (Re: my rant to this list a few months ago suggesting we charge programmers who write code with these kinds of bugs in them with criminal negligence, and stating that you're virtually immune from these kinds of bugs if you write your software in MetaCard). Regards, Scott From: Alan for the SANS NewsBites service Re: May 9 SANS NewsBites * Steve Ballmer, Microsoft's CEO, walked into a meeting with a dozen customers a few days ago and said disgustedly, You would think we could figure out how to fix buffer overflows by now. He was talking about the latest IIS buffer overflow fiasco through which (SANS has received reliable confirmation to prove) well over 9,000 Microsoft- powered web sites have been defaced. And that pain is nothing compared to the extortion and reputation damage organizations will soon face in trying to recover the credit card numbers and other private information of their clients. Steve is right about buffer overflows. Enough is enough. It is time to bring accountability to the programming profession. We hope that Microsoft will take the lead, guaranteeing all its internal programmers get basic secure programming skills training and that the company helps train developers outside of Microsoft. And if that isn't enough, perhaps as a security community, we can invite developers of important code with buffer overflows to come to SANS conferences where they can tell us all why they are subjecting us to this pain. Programmers have been taught simple tests to avoid buffer overflows at least since 1960. Some of them have forgotten the basics. It's time to give them a reason to remember. -- Scott Raney [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.metacard.com MetaCard: You know, there's an easier way to do that...

Wow! I guess I missed something. And there's a 69k version of MC too? Hmmm. Is that a 68K chip that's been bored, stroked, ported, polished and supercharged? Or maybe it's a Unix thing.

arrays vs lines
As an ex-Hypercarder, my natural inclination for arrays is to use item x of line y of myVar style of arrays. Of course the myVar[x,y] is neater and allows more ready translation of Fortran code. So I have run some tests in Revolution rather than MC but I am assuming that the issues are intrinsic to MC. Repeat with i= 1 to 1000 put random(1000) into line i of myLines put line i of myLines into myArray[i] end repeat put the ticks into tix repeat with i=1 to 1000 put line random(1000) of myLines into line i of anotherLines end repeat put the ticks-tix into tixForLines put the ticks into tix repeat with i=1 to 1000 put myArray[random(1000)] into anotherArray[i] end repeat put the ticks-tix into tixForArrays The arrays are slower! Now increase all of the repeat limits to 1 and the arrays become much faster than the lines. So, for computer-intensive data manipulation for statistical tests where computation time is a real limit, how can I decide when to go for arrays and when to go for lines? Is there a better way to handle the arrays that makes them faster in all circumstances? Michael J.
