Re: Small and strange problem
How does tMins acquire the data? Are you certain it contains what you expect when you aren’t stepping through the code (and slowing things down)? perhaps a “put tMins" or “answer tMins” would expose something.

Re: Small and strange problem
try putting a space between the left and right of the / and see if you still get it.

Re: Small and strange problem
No replies so far, so I had a few minutes spare and tried to recreate this problem, but couldn’t. No matter what I put into tMins first, even an empty variable still returned 0, so my suggestion would be to wrap the script in a try - catch to see what’s going on with the left operand (tMins) during the equation, something like: try put (tMins/60) into tMins catch tError if tError then answer "An Error Occurred;" && tError & return & "tMins =" && tMins end try I tried in both versions of LC that you mentioned and saw no problem. Maybe somebody else will have a better idea.

Re: Recommended (simple) Linux distro for Livecode server home dev/test?
Hello, Kieth. My health problems have kept me from really participating on the list for a long time but I stayed as I want to get back to using Livecode at some point. Your question about linux distros for server use on old hardware though is something I can comment on. Sorry I did not post this earlier before you more or less made a decision. At first I though the suggestions made were terrible because you said it was old hardware. Then I realized the problem is I am old and the others who responded were not picturing machines from the mid 1990's unlike me. I would go along with the suggestions made, especially the Lubuntu one assuming your hardware can handle it. If it cannot please post a follow up with an idea of how old your hardware is and I will make some specific recommendations. Let us hope your machine is not so old we start talking about Slackware installations but if we do I will get you some help with it. :-) The best way to make Ubuntu more efficient is to use a desktop environment (DE) that is less fancy and therefore less resource intensive. (Any flavour of Ubuntu can make use of any DE just by installing some extra software packages. Keep that in mind if you for some reason need to change the DE.) We could make the system even more efficient by starting with a base Debian install and building it up piece by piece to what you need. (Ubuntu is Debian based by the way.) Not as newbie friendly as installing Lubuntu but not hard either. Just something I am throwing out there as a backup plan. We can discuss it if you need it, but you will probably be OK with trying Lubuntu, etc. Good luck. Post a follow up if your hardware cannot handle the initial suggestions and we discuss other options. ___ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
Re: Not quite OT: Privacy Policy
Thanks Jacque and JB. Sound advice, which I will instantly take. Graham PS I was surprised on Googling all this that there are paid-for generators for this kind of thing, including Cookie policies etc. I suppose it makes sense to some, but I would personally not wish to go down that path even if my needs were more complex.
