RE: Web-Dedicated Metacard
So, what kinds of strategies can anyone suggest to take this beyond the consensus reality barrier? FWIW, I'm using RR/MC to build application which are web-aware. The apps can update themselves using the web, and also download plugins by just clicking on an image in a web page (which autolaunches the RR app). In this way, users who are interested in using my apps automatically can access them via the web.

standalone is crashing on Mac OS 8.0
Hello, I've arelatively simple stackfor creating illustrated bingo-cards. The problem isthat, though itruns fine under Mac OS8.0 as a stack and also under Windows as both a stack and a standalone, it continually crashes the system when it runs as a standalone on Mac OS 8.0. Specifically, the crash happens while the script is setting the fileNames of the 25 image objects, laid out in a 5x5 grid; after the 10th or so image objects has been successfully loaded with an image (jpg or gif), theimage-object that comesimmediately afterthe last image that successfully loaded will remainempty (blank) and, instead, I can literally hear the computer's HDgrinding intosome kind of looped sound,which, after a few seconds, stops andthen everything on-screen freezes. Perhaps a memory issue? But, if so, why would it work as a stack but not as a standalone? And, just in case, I tried setting the stack's buffer to both "always on" and "always off". No go with either. Thank you. Nicolas Cueto

Nicolas, (B (BIs the alwaysBuffer on for the images as well? If so, you should probably (Bturn it off (it'll save memory).

Regards, Scott I like the idea (from my own non-CGI perspective) of both read .. until empty, meaning give me what you have, and read ... until eof, meaning read until the pipe is closed by the other end. Might as well apply that to all reads where the difference is meaningful.

Re: standalone is crashing on Mac OS 8.0
Mark Talluto suggested: My guess is that 8.0 is the problem. Try upgrading to 8.1 as many OS bugs were fixed in the update. It is a free update. Thanks. I'll follow up on that and see what happens. In the mean time, though, that wouldn't solve the problem for users still on 8.0 -- or, are there such few people still on 8.0 that this isn't a (big) concern? Cheers, Nicolas Cueto
Since we are at it
A little something to share: this is a script which reads the width and height in a given JPEG file. I was planing to enable some weblog cgi scripts I made to handle photos and set the width and height parameters in html so that the images even if they are slightly bigger they will fit into a given rectangle and be scaled proportionally. True scaling of images usually requires extra software present on a server. Put this in a button: on mouseUp answer file put url (binfile: it) into rawFile put length(rawFile) into tLen put offset(numtochar(255)numtochar(217), rawFile) into eoj if eoj+2=tLen then put 0 into tCount else put eoj into tCount repeat while tCounttLen put offset(numtochar(255), rawFile,tCount) into tOff put chartonum(char tCount+tOff+1 of rawFile) into tChar if tChar is among the items of 192,193,194,195 then put char (tCount+tOff+5) to (tCount+tOff+8) of rawFile into rawSize put baseconvert(chartonum(char 1 of rawSize),10,16)\ baseconvert(chartonum(char 2 of rawSize),10,16) into hSize put baseconvert(chartonum(char 3 of rawSize),10,16)\ baseconvert(chartonum(char 4 of rawSize),10,16) into wSize put H=baseconvert(hSize,16,10) space \ W=baseconvert(wSize,16,10) into dimensions exit repeat end if add tOff to tCount end repeat put dimensions end mouseUp I'm sure it can be optimized but my knowledge of binary data is less then minimal. One thing the script doesn't check is if the file is a true JPEG. A similar process can read/extract the thumbnail image if the JPEG has one and/or the exif data if it exists but I have a family to feed and my time for playing is over;-).
