[OT] Making videos on a Mac
How do I make a video on a Mac that can be viewed on a PC? It seems that whatever tool I use - QuickTime, Adobe Flash Video Encoder (CS3), IshowU, Flip4Mac - the ensuing video cannot be played universally on a PC, yet, if I get the same video, created on a Mac but converted to a .flv or a .wmv on a PC everyone seems to be able to play it. I'm using a Powerbook with OS 10.5.8 with QT Pro (up to date). The videos either won't play or they require a Quicktime download in order to play. I want to keep it simple for my users and let them simply go to my web site and play the movie. Why is this so complex on a Mac? Is there no easy way?

Re: [OT] Making videos on a Mac
Thanks, Colin... Yes, I do use the player code but I have not seen your simple way explained anywhere on the web... Thanks... Jim On 15-Feb-10, at 4:44 PM, Colin Holgate wrote: You can't just play an FLV, to play that you would either have an application that can play it (say VLC) or you would have embedded a swf that can play the FLV. Whatever way you did it, those players can also play MPEG-4 files. So, use QuickTime Player's Save for Web, and that will produce a file named something like mymovie.m4v. Put that alongside your FLV player, and tell the player that its source is mymovie.m4v, and it will play anywhere that has Flash, even if QuickTime is not installed. ___ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution Jim Carwardine, President CEO OYF Consulting Ph. 902.823.2339 / 866.601.2339 Fx. 902.823.2139 www.StrategicDoing.com StrategicDoing™: When Strategic Planning is finished, execution of your plan depends on your employees. -- ___ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
Re: OT: Creating a PC Compatible DVD...

OT: Creating a PC Compatible DVD...
Hi Folks... I know there is a problem creating a PC-compatible DVD on the Mac. The Mac creates a DVD-R MPEG2 file while the PC reads a DVD +R DVD. Is there an elegant solution to this with some magic piece of software or am I relegated to about a six step workaround every time I want to do this? I can't find anything searching the archives.

Jim On 3-Dec-08, at 2:23 PM, Stephen Barncard wrote: Buy a drive that records DVD+R if you must. But this is totally moot. Yours is not a PC/MAC issue, but a choice of blank disc formats and/or video formatting. Both disc types will play on any platform. Why not just buy quality DVD-R blanks that the mac optical drive is designed for. The +/- is usually only a factor on the record side. Also the + discs seem to be losing market share. The FORMAT of the DATA is the other factor. Usually burning programs make a PC/MAC compatible video or data disc. Making a video disc that plays everywhere is handled by video burning software like DVD studio pro or iDVD, even Toast. Also not all players are alike. Use software that targets your output needs. Often there are shareware or open source solutions like VLC that play anything. http://www.videolan.org/vlc/ Hi Folks... I know there is a problem creating a PC-compatible DVD on the Mac.

Re: about Voyager Expanded Books
The last time I had anything to do with Voyager was at MacWorld in San Fransico about 1991 or 92 when I was showing my new electronic book app called BookBuilder, built in Hypercard, to anyone who would look ( and buy it). I showed it to Bob Stein at his booth and he said, I can't look at this. This looks just like what we are doing. I actually used it to create multimedia learning presentations at a local university in about 1995. Since switching to Rev, I've been tempted to convert BookBuilder but there were XCMDs and old gear (optical disks that were the size of LPs, that I haven't bothered. Maybe it will sell now!...

Instead you would just want to reproduce the features of the HyperCard version, using whatever the best approach would be for each feature. In some cases the feature could be improved, no doubt. snip James J Richards [EMAIL PROTECTED] Tel. +44 (0)15394 43063 ___ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution Jim Carwardine, President CEO OYF Consulting Ph. 902.823.2339 / 866.601.2339 Fx. 902.823-2139 www.StrategicDoing.com StrategicDoing™: Execution depends on employees.

It's of little value, agreed, and would be eliminated if they opt to not do it, which I would consider a good thing. The deal is, I give you something you value, you give me something I value, a business relationship is struck and a small deal is made. Lying to me and taking my stuff is not the basis of a good relationship. Perhaps there is a better way of presenting this deal, without using the word free...

Re: [OT] SheepShaver and printing...
Hi Mark... This was a solution from Ken Ray when SS was first being used a year ago. Perhaps there is a better way... The text of the original thread follows... On 10/3/06 2:48 PM, Jim Carwardine [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I successfully installed Os 9 into SheepShaver. Although I created a hard disk - OS9HD - as you suggested, when I loaded OS 9, it loaded into a hard disk called untitled which I retitled OS9HD when the system was up and running. It seems to be the same disk. At least the untitled disk was the same size as the size I had specified when I set up SheepShaver. Right. I'm wanting to approach SheepShaver like it was the Classic window in OSX on the PPC meaning that I want to access files on my OSX hard disk from the SheepShaver window. However, although I can't anything that looks like a users guide for SheepShaver, it looks like I need to load files and applications into the SheepShaver environment by burning the files I want to move to SheepShaver onto a CD ROM and then reading it in SheepShaver. Well, it turns out that the instructions for making a shared folder are faulty - apparently shared folders don't work well in the current version of SS. However you can do this instead: Fire up Disk Utility and make a .dmg file that is the size you want to use for sharing. In the SheepShaver GUI window click the Add... button in the Volumes tab, and select the .dmg file you created, and Quit SheepShaver GUI. When you want to copy files from OS X to OS 9, mount your .dmg in OS X by double-clicking it, drag files into it, and then eject the mounted volume. Then, launch SheepShaver and when you get to the OS 9 desktop, you'll have another hard drive there, which is your .dmg file. You can do this in reverse as well to get things from OS 9 to OS X. The only caveat is that you get very unpredictable results if you attempt to keep the .dmg mounted in OS X at the same time as SS is running... files have been lost and the .dmg can get corrupted, so make sure you fully unmount the drive (imagine you're putting something on a floppy in one machine to carry to the next machine).

Re: What I did with Rev last night
I wrote a stack that takes my receipts and scheduled business meetings and calculates my business mileage from point to point to point each day. Gives a detailed report of each trip and a summary for each day. It skips Saturday and Sunday and fudges a starting mileage for Monday based on my average mileage for a weekend - varies it using the random function for the fudge factor... Pretty accurate if I do say so myself... I'm about to modify it to take a text file from the Entourage Calendar and do the same but using location on each calendar entry. I hate manual trip logs because I keep forgetting to update them each day. I got a GPS to produce a trip report but haven't got it up and running yet or talking to Rev either. My little Rev calculator seems to work almost as well... Jim on 7/4/07 2:12 PM, J. Landman Gay wrote: I have a ditzy canary that was taken from his parents too early. Male canaries need to learn to sing, and during their first year they listen to other males, extract portions of various songs, and recombine pieces into a song that is their own. This song identifies them to other canaries and every male's song is unique. Unfortunatly my little guy had no one to learn from, so he has been belting out songs copied from wild birds he hears through the window, in particular, the mourning doves that hang out on our roof. I heard him practicing carefully for weeks (h-oo-oo. Oo. Oo. Sung with a litttle trill.) It's very funny, but not really a song that a decent canary would be proud of. I looked at CDs you can purchase to teach your canary to sing, but figured I could do better. So I downloaded some sample mp3 canary files from a web site, tossed in a few I recorded from my previous canary, and made a little stack that plays back random songs at random time intervals. It took me about 20 minutes to write. This morning I started the stack running and my little bird is responding, singing his mourning dove call at the top of his voice. Then he listens intently. With luck, he'll learn some new tunes. The house is full of bird song, it's lovely. It is so satisfying to be able to write whatever I need.

I don't think Rev has that facility that same way, but couldn't Rev become semi-open-source by providing a tool like CompilIt, fully documented and supported with an easy path designed to bring cool and widely used X-things into the IDE ... Jim on 6/6/07 12:32 PM, Shari wrote: A lot of coders I know are moving to the Open Source world for the simple fact that they can fix it. One case: Seeing RunRev lacking certain 'facilities' (3D was high on his list, and yes, I am aware of the plugin from igame3D) he couldn't believe that a modern 'language' didn't have it built in and wasn't about to 'write an external' for something that should have been 'internal'. I don't mind having plugins available to enhance something. And I know that many of the plugins available for Rev were created by folks on this list, often to make their own lives easier and later, shared with us as a community, or available for sale from independent developers. I've finally just installed my first one :-) This makes more sense to me than Open Source. There is a definitive command structure, and responsibility structure, and while things don't always flow exactly as one person might wish, they do flow and it does work. The whole issue of GUI's comes to mind, as well. Folks created various user interfaces for how we use Revolution (I use the Metacard interface personally). This doesn't mean they are Open Source. Nor does it mean that Revolution itself should be. They simply add functionality to Rev, and a person could easily just use Rev without ever knowing that plugins or other GUI's even exist. The primary product remains solid as a commercial software product, as it should be.

Re: Valentina 3 Major Upgrade to Ultra Fast Database Released
Lynn... If I'm just getting started using Valentina with Rev and I eventually want to place my app on a Mac server, which isn't ready yet, but currently am developing on my MacBook Pro, what version of Valentina should I get? Jim on 5/3/07 7:20 PM, Lynn Fredricks wrote: Valentina 3 Major Upgrade to Ultra Fast Database Released Stored Procedures, Linux Support and Advanced Server Features May 3, 2007. Beaverton, Oregon-based Paradigma Software, Inc announces release version 3 of Valentina Office Server and Valentina Developer Network for deploying royalty free, standalone and client-server applications. This major release provides the greatest number of overall improvements to the platform since the release of Valentina 2 in March 2005, while providing backward compatibility with existing solutions built with Valentina 2.x. The following new features were added to the entire product line of Valentina 3: Stored Procedures. Stored procedures allow business logic to be stored within the database and then executed when called; this is highly beneficial for reducing network traffic. Triggers. Triggers allow events to be executed when conditions are met within a database or database table. Views. Views are a form of virtual table based on the results of a query, allowing dynamic glimpses into data stored in the database. Hot Back Up. Both standalone applications and Valentina Server based solutions can be automatically backed up and time stamped while running. Mac OS X Unicode Improvements. Because of improved support from Apple, Inc, Valentina can access the operating system version of ICU, reducing the overall size of deployable Valentina 3 components on the platform. Backwards Compatibility. Because only modest changes were made to the Valentina format, users can safely test their existing Valentina 2.5.x databases with Valentina 3. Valentina 3 Server solutions also include features specific to the platform: Event Scheduler. This allows execution of events on the server to automatically occur periodically. User Variables. Server solutions can get and set user variables on a per database basis. Improved Packet Based Protocol. Performance improvements with Server communications builds on previous releases that allow greater compatibility between different versions of clients and servers. Paradigma Software is also announcing new operating system support for Valentina Office Server and most developer products: native Linux support. This includes Valentina Developer Network support for Linux targets with REAL Software REALbasic, Runtime Revolution, C++, and Valentina Embedded Server, including server scripting with PHP 4/5+ and Ruby on Rails framework. Core Valentina 3 technology is officially supported on Ubuntu 7.x, SuSE Linux Enterprise Desktop and Red Hat Desktop, with compatibility with x86 based distributions running GTK 2.x. The release of Valentina 3 also has hundreds of minor performance improvements and solutions to customer reported issues. Valentina Developer Network solution provider Thorsten Hohage of objectmanufactur developed an EOF-like database framework that was originally based around mySQL. Mr Hohage reports that he ported the solution to Valentina in under four hours. Now large SELECT statements that ran upwards of five minutes take less than five seconds under Valentina 3. The advancements culminating in Valentina 3 make Valentina a worthy successor to mySQL projects that require better performance for complex queries. I am profoundly happy over our move to Valentina. said Thorsten Hohage. Valentina database products, available on Windows, Mac OS X and Linux, are based on the unique Valentina database engine - an object-relational database engine known for extreme speed. When porting to Valentina, hours become minutes, minutes become seconds when it comes to storing, retrieving and querying databases. Valentina supports all modern standards - native Unicode, XML import/export and ODBC connectivity. Valentina Developer Network Platform Edition includes a set of tools for all supported operating systems of one development environment - and allows deployment of Valentina Embedded Database Server, royalty free. In addition, VDN Platform Edition includes reseller options, VDN Platform Edition sells for $599. Developers that want to build only local database solutions can license Valentina ADK products, starting at $199.

Re: Interacting with web pages in altBrowser...
Thanks, Sarah... Sorry, my question was too broad. What I was referring to primarily was an application front-ending a database that has a search function. For instance, a name and address file, or in my case, a personnel file where the only way to browse the file is with a search function. If I am communicating from a Rev app and I know the person I want to search for in the other, non-Rev app, can I interact with the fields in the non-Rev app?...

Jim Jim, depending on how the search is done, the parameters often become part of the address for the results page. e.g. for Google, if I search for Revolution, the address for the search page is http://www.google.com/search?q=Revolution (and some other encoding stuff). So if you wanted to script a Google search directly, just replace Revolution with whatever you wanted in the link I quoted, and you will get directly to the results page instead of to the search entry page. A lot of search pages work this way, so try them manually and check the address of the result to see if this method will work.

Re: AltBrowser newbie question...
Thanks, Scott... I already have a stack I want to put AltBrowser into. Is there is a section of the stack script that can be pasted into the substack it created for me... I can't seem to find anything I can use that way. The Go button on the created substack references a handler called... abLoadURL fld browserAddress In the card script of the new stack. When I trace it, it executes the handler, nothing shows on the altBrowser window, then it goes off and executes some code I created for mouseEnter and mouseWithin messages, which I should test to see if I'm in the right substack which I'm not, however, I don't think what I'm doing should have preempted what AltBrowser wants to do...

[OT] SheepShaver
Hi Ken Ray... Quick question regarding SheepShaver. I've installed a version of OS 9 into SheepShaver. Now, I have a need to install OS 8.5 to run an obscure app that won't run in OS 9. Can I install a second copy of SheepShaver containing the older OS and keep my original installation which contains files? Do I use the same procedure as the first time? Thanks...

Re: Parallels Desktop
If I already have a purchased version of Parallels, to load the new beta version, do I need to deinstall the original version first? Jim on 2/21/07 2:49 PM, Chipp Walters wrote: Since I couldn't find this very simple information anywhere else on Parallels website, I thought I'd mention it here: By using Parallels with Bootcamp, one gets the best of both worlds. If you wish, you can boot directly into Windows XP, use Apple's hardware drivers and for all intents and purposes, run WinXP on a standard PC. To do this, you'll need a new copy of WinXP (Home or Professional) for installing. WinXP is unlike Mac OSX as it 'phones home' for every computer it's installed on. So, you HAVE to have a separate copy for each computer. By installing the *LATEST BETA* of Parallels AFTER installing Bootcamp, you can instruct it to 'virtualize' your Bootcamp partition, so you don't need to reinstall WinXP again. Once installed, you can run your virtual PC when in the Mac OSX, having access to all your apps, files and settings you had setup in Bootcamp. With the new Coherence option, you can actually use both Mac and PC simultaneously, as their application windows can share the same desktop. If you want to share files between Mac and PC for both Bootcamp and Parallels options, be sure and choose FAT32 mode as the format for your PC partition. In this mode, you can only create a maximum partition size of 32 GB. This little bit of information above, would be best posted somewhere on Parallels website, but I couldn't find it. Some of it does appear in the docs which ship with Parallels once you purchase it, download it, then download the upgrade, then launch the new upgrade docs (whew!).

[OT] Adobe Apps for MacIntel
Does anyone have any insight on what Adobe plans to do with their upgrade from Creative Suite 2 to 3? I just bought CS2 without realizing that it wasn't yet MacIntel compatible. With further research I discovered that they brought a beta version of Photoshop out in December that was a free upgrade if had recently bought the CS2 version but that they want full price for the full CS3 version when it comes out regardless of when you bought CS2. I could find no mention of the other apps in the suite. Does anyone know if the entire CS is being published in April 07? Apparently Adobe says CS3 is such a massive upgrade that they do not want to honour their upgrade policy for recent buyers of CS2. I did read that they have some kind of 45 day window after purchase when that can happen but it is unclear if they are waiving that policy as well and April is more than 45 days out. Now, because I opened the package, I may be stuck with old software and no options but to buy it again to get the CS3 version. Any insights on exactly what Adobe intends to do?

They tell me April 07 for the full CS3 but it is hard to imagine if Adobe are only talking about Photoshop.

There's a certain amount of truth in that, as far as I know it's been pretty much re-written to be MacIntel Vista compatible. And BOY does it make a difference on an Intel Mac!

At the very worst you'd have to buy an upgrade, like the rest of us who have older copies of CS2. I can't believe that Adobe are insane enough to make everyone buy Photoshop again from scratch. There are likely to be all sorts of different bundles, though, what with LightRoom, Bridge etc. Ian P.S.

When I select Page Setup, it shows the i860 dialogue but when I close the dialogue box, it tells me that I need to choose a printer from the Chooser. When I installed OS 9 in SheepShaver, I used OS 9.0 but it still can handle USB. Is there something special I need to do to allow USB access? I also have a Brother MFC 7820N laser printer that is networked to my computer. Would that be a better choice because I might then use one of the already installed Apple printer drivers to run it?

Creating reports from a Garmin 60CSX GPS...
Hi Folks... There has been a few posts regarding passing information to/from a computer and a Palm-type device. I'd like to do the same for a GPS. There are GPS devices out there http://www.advantrack.com/hw_junior.htm that do deliver reports calculating mileage and tracking start and end trip points from a street map database but they are all single purpose dash-mounted devices. I can't seem to find a hand-held GPS, that I can also carry into the woods, that produces these kinds of reports even though they connect to a PC or Mac via USB. My purpose is, of course, to be able to track my business mileage during the week and track my hiking routes during the weekend with the same device. The Garmin 60CSX is x-platform and does upload a file to the PC or Mac but the users guide does not describe a report package or indicate the possibility of creating reports. I want to assure myself I can produce mileage reports before I lay out the cash. Does anyone on this list have any experience with creating reports from an uploaded GPS file or know of a report package that is available? Thanks...

Re: Creating reports from a Garmin 60CSX GPS...
Thanks, Richard. That Advantrack unit seems to have good reports and I'll bet they are OEM-ing and repackaging something from either Magellan or Garmin so maybe the existing reports package could be retooled to use the regular models...

Re: Creating reports from a Garmin 60CSX GPS...
I just talked with the Advantrack support people and their report package http://www.advantrack.com/sw_pro_mapping.htm was created in-house and he wouldn't say whether they were OEM-ing a generic brand. They can identify and isolate a way-point to a city block or range of addresses. We can then assign a name if, for instance, it's a frequently visited address, and the software will recognize the location then deliver the name in the reports. Their report package only supports a PC... Jim on 12/13/06 12:12 PM, Jim Carwardine wrote: Thanks, Richard.

Re: Where Rev could be going...
I have no business talking on this thread at all as I have no technical ability or understanding in this arena, but I have an application that I would like to serve over the internet so I have been following this thread. What about a very thin client that, when a link is clicked in a web page that references it, it downloads, executes and, when closed or dismissed in some way, self-trashes. It seems to me that the biggest drawback with Rev on the internet is that it needs a client to execute locally if you are going to use palettes or other Rev interactivity... Jim on 11/24/06 3:33 PM, Richard Gaskin wrote: Bernard Devlin wrote: I want to continue this discussion a little further to see if my understanding is correct: 1) any Rev app that would run in a browser plug-in could only offer a sub-set of Rev functionality Yes, browsers behaviors are a subset of all application behaviors. On the desktop we can do darn near anything, but in a browser we're in a fairly small sandbox. Remember, a browser is a desktop application. And when a client-side application also requires a new plugin, the browser alone is an incomplete application. 2) there would need to be a lot of conditional coding in the engine to check which environment the code was running within, in order for the plug-in to know what it could and could not attempt to do. That's one approach, which seems reasonably simpler than maintaining a separate code base. The former set of limitations is not that different from Rev running in secureMode. ... So, we already have that concept of a player application with limited functionality. That looks to me like the engine already contains conditional processing for secureMode. I'm wondering if this browser plug-in couldn't be done as an extension of secureMode. It could, but the technical possibility still doesn't address the business case for doing so. For example, note the extremely small number of developers who use secureMode at all, even though it's been available since before Rev 1.0. As roughly a superset of browser behaviors, Rev already contains most of what a plugin would need. For myself, and presumably RunRev Ltd., the question is not what's *technically* possible (Roadster already showed that), but what's practical in terms of the *business case* to justify the effort (the demise of Roadster and a great many other plugins in favor of Flash, DHTML, and Java arguably shows us that too). However, if we could make explicit what all the different limitations would be, then maybe the advocates of a plug-in will conclude that it is not something they would find particularly useful (e.g. if it meant they had to code a different version of their app to work with a browser plug-in.) I'm still ambivalent about it myself. This has been done time and again to varying degrees, e.g.: http://lists.runrev.com/pipermail/use-revolution/2006-November/089327.html To recap: EVALUATING USAGE SCENARIOS -- For myself and a number of other participants in this perennial thread, the emphasis has been on the business side rather than the technical, which I feel is a more appropriate focus. In software almost anything is technically possible, so the question becomes whether it's worth doing. Keep in mind that the true goal here is not to deliver Rev in a browser, but to deliver an application in a browser. This means that existing solutions (Flash, DHTML, Java) play a role in this evaluation, since there's no point in making something in Rev just for the sake of doing so if an existing deployment solution can deliver the same or better software experience at an affordable production cost. THE GAUNTLET: A USAGE SCENARIO METRIC - In all of these discussions, what I haven't seen yet is the usage scenario which meets these criteria: _ The application must reside in a browser window. _ The application does not need to store any data on the client beyond of the limits of cookies. _ The application's usability is not impaired by the limitations of the browser (no custom dialogs, no palettes, no menu bar, etc.). _ The browsers used to run the application can be expected to be custom-configured with the necessary plugin to do so. _ The same user/administrator willing and able to custom-configure their browser with the required plugin is for some reason unable to do the same with a custom dedicated application. _ Flash, DHTML, and Java cannot deliver the desired software experience at a reasonable cost. In my own discussions with clients, we never get more than halfway through that checklist before we decide that we can either use Flash or DHTML, or deploy a custom app. If the Rev community can find a real-world usage scenario which meets these criteria, we then would need to see a fairly broad number of such

Just to weigh in with an additional voice... I too am very interested in this...

This includes engineers going back to the original MetaCard product. I can't say for sure what the problems might be, but the response has been pretty universal for many years. Hi Jacque, that's a pity as it's clear from the number of times that it has come up, that there's quite a lot of desire for it (or at least a few disquieted souls who don't realise that what they're asking for is so difficult). I've followed this list and the MetaCard list for 3 or 4 years now, but I don't ever remember reading what the engineering difficulties would be (could just be my faulty memory - apologies if this has been outlined in the last few years and I've forgotten it). As I've said, it's not currently a high priority for me, but it seems to be quite important to other users. If we knew what the limitations were, then maybe we'd stop pestering Runrev for it :-) Since Lynn asked at the beginning of the month what we wanted from Rev in terms of browser interaction, maybe he could provide us with the definitive answer about why a browser plug-in would be such an engineering challenge. I'm sure all of us would prefer that Rev's engineering resources are not consumed by the production of a browser plug-in.

Bernard I'm not really interested in the whirly movement of the mind map on demand, but rather how this relates to the other thread and the overview of architectures and models for content delivery where the browser (since everyone loves it so much) serves as a launching pad for another application, but the user experience is a seamless one. That new window is *not* HTML being rendered by and HTML rendering engine, as such. Looks like a completely Java based application to me (Like Scott said I also don't see any .swf in the cloud there.) But the user is not a) leaving his browser b) clicking on another document to boot the java app... it just transparently opens as a new window: new rect in the video card... isn't the browser basically passing off, completely, the windowing, content rendering task to a completely independent app? So, this goes to the whole discussion (viz-a-viz Lynn's query about how Rev could integrate with browsers) of rev plug-in vs web page with links to down load stand alones, vs some kind of embed object filled with Rev CGI powered content, vs getting them to download a Super Revolution Player... I thought this site offered yet another model. I mean Javascript is a) a plug in which the browser API uses to render stuff inside the browser window, but here it is also b) a separate complete framework that the browser simply launches into another window which is now under the control of Java.. not the browser perse... I tried to View Source, View DOM, etc on that window.. Firefox wasn't happy. It was completely independent.. so this got me thinking a) if we can get users to download and install some player core... or a stand alone.. =resistance has dropped to virtual zero.. because it is coming from Run Rev Home site. b) we have a link on our web page(s) that calls a stack, c) the browser launches the stack using this player core. d) users see it as a seamless integrated experience. But! and this is the big one: the core of the player is not at all concerned with the browser API! i.e. does not have to live by the constraints and rules of having the content be rendered inside the browser window itself... it opens it's own, new window...and leaves Firefox (IE, Safari.. whatever..) behind Isn't that not essentially what is happening here? http://www.visualthesaurus.com/ It's so beautiful here on Kauai, hard not to dream :-) anything is possible.

Re: [OT] Installing SheepShaver (was Re: Classic Emulators)
Hi Ken... I created the .dmg file and put it in my SS folder. I mounted it in the SS GUI but when I start SS and bring up OS 9, the .dmg isn't there. Is there something more I need to do? Jim on 10/3/06 6:08 PM, Ken Ray wrote: Well, it turns out that the instructions for making a shared folder are faulty - apparently shared folders don't work well in the current version of SS. However you can do this instead: Fire up Disk Utility and make a .dmg file that is the size you want to use for sharing. In the SheepShaver GUI window click the Add... button in the Volumes tab, and select the .dmg file you created, and Quit SheepShaver GUI. When you want to copy files from OS X to OS 9, mount your .dmg in OS X by double-clicking it, drag files into it, and then eject the mounted volume. Then, launch SheepShaver and when you get to the OS 9 desktop, you'll have another hard drive there, which is your .dmg file. You can do this in reverse as well to get things from OS 9 to OS X. The only caveat is that you get very unpredictable results if you attempt to keep the .dmg mounted in OS X at the same time as SS is running... files have been lost and the .dmg can get corrupted, so make sure you fully unmount the drive (imagine you're putting something on a floppy in one machine to carry to the next machine).

Re: [OT] Installing SheepShaver (was Re: Classic Emulators)
Hi Ken... Just a couple more questions. I successfully installed Os 9 into SheepShaver. Although I created a hard disk - OS9HD - as you suggested, when I loaded OS 9, it loaded into a hard disk called untitled which I retitled OS9HD when the system was up and running. It seems to be the same disk. At least the untitled disk was the same size as the size I had specified when I set up SheepShaver. I'm wanting to approach SheepShaver like it was the Classic window in OSX on the PPC meaning that I want to access files on my OSX hard disk from the SheepShaver window. However, although I can't anything that looks like a users guide for SheepShaver, it looks like I need to load files and applications into the SheepShaver environment by burning the files I want to move to SheepShaver onto a CD ROM and then reading it in SheepShaver.

The web site assumes a certain level of technical savvy I don't have. Ken, can you give us a 6 line primer on how to find such things as the OS ROMs, etc?... Jim Here's the steps I followed (found this on the Ambrosia Software Web Board - watch the line breaks) - it's a bit more than 6 lines though grin: 1. Create a folder for all the SheepShaver data to go into. I would suggest something easy to type, like sheepshaver in your home directory. For the purposes of this, I'll assume that you chose /Users/username/sheepshaver. 2. Create a folder share in the sheepshaver folder (for later). 3. Get a Mac ROM. The one in your Classic system folder may work (I've been told it should, but mine didn't). I would suggest downloading a ROM update from Apple and using TomeViewer to extract the ROM. (TomeViewer is a Classic app itself.) You can get the ROM here: http://download.info.apple.com/Apple_Support_Area/Apple_Software_Updates/ MultiCountry/Macintosh/System/Mac_OS_ROM/Mac_OS_ROM_Update_1.0.smi.bin And TomeViewer here: http://www.macresource.com/mrp/software/tomeviewer-13d3.sit Find a machine that can run Classic or already has OS 9, download the ROM Update and TomeViewer, decompress them and launch TomeViewer. You can then choos to open a tome, which will be on the disk image for the ROM Update. There's an extract option, so select the ROM file and extract it. However you obtain the ROM, name it ROM and place it inside the sheepshaver folder. 4. Download SheepShaver. (You want the MacOS X Universal Binary near the bottom of the page.) You can get SheepShaver here: http://www.gibix.net/dokuwiki/en:projects:sheepshaver 5. Decompress SheepShaver and put it where you want. I would suggest keeping it seperate from the sheepshaver folder created above, and naming the application folder SheepShaver-May06 (or whatever date the release was). All of the releases for a while have been numbered 2.3, so the only way to tell them apart is the date. 6. Open SheepShaverGUI.app. 7. Create a SheepShaver hard drive. Press Create... in the window that appears. Change the size to something usable; I would suggest 400-600 MB. Navigate to your sheepshaver folder and name the drive something like os9hd. Press OK; it will take a few moments to create the drive (the program hasn't frozen). 8. Change the Unix Root to /Users/username/sheepshaver/share (or wherever your sheepshaver folder is). 9. In the Graphics/Sound tab, make sure that Window mode is selected (fullscreen will freeze in this version!) with a refresh rate of 60hz. Change the width/height to either 640x480, 800x600, or 1024x768, depending on your screen size. I would recommend you use a standard 4:3 resolution (one of the three I listed). Make sure QuickDraw Acceleration is on, and Disable Sound is off (don't worry about the Output and Mixer devices, they aren't used on OS X). 10. In Keyboard/Mouse, turn off Use Raw Keycodes and set Mouse Wheel Function to your liking if you have a mouse wheel (which isn't recognized by OS 9 so SheepShaver has to do something else to pretend). 11. In Serial/Network, make sure slirp is the Ethernet interface. 12. In Memory/Misc, set the RAM size to something reasonable given your computer. 128MB should be more than fine (have it set to 64 just to quickly jump in and out of OS 9, if you're planning on doing a lot you should probably do 128 or higher). Change the ROM path to /Users/username/sheepshaver/ROM (or wherever your sheepshaver folder is). You can use the Browse... button for that. Turn off Ignore Illegal Memory Accesses and turn on Don't Use CPU when idle. 13. Insert your OS 9 (or earlier) install disk, then press the Start buttton at the bottom. It should boot from the CD; you can then initialize your OS 9 hard drive and install OS 9. NOTE: If you are either told

If so, quit SheepShaver (you may have to force quit), and then with your OS 9 disk in the drive, launch the SheepShaver.app application (NOT the SheepShaver GUI app). It should kick in and recognize the CD and boot from there. 15. Use Special - Shutdown to always shut down SheepShaver (just like a real Mac). After the install, shut down and remove the CD. Run SheepShaver.app again. Open the Sound (not Moniters and Sound) control panel and set the output correctly so you can hear sound. Sound and networking should both work; you're good to go!

I have it on good authority from a PC tech I respect when I asked him the same questions that AVG http://www.filehippo.com/download_avg_antivirus/ is very good... Jim on 9/26/06 6:33 AM, Luis wrote: Simple? Nope. Well, don't hook it up to the internet. If you do, at the very least ensure the Windows firewall is activated and check it's settings: Only open ports that you need open. Make sure Automatic Updates is running and that these run DAILY. Not so 'simple'? Well, for a single user system, at home, I'd recommend the Norton Internet Security package (covers all sorts of viruses and malware and has a very good firewall). It can be flaky at times (not shutting down properly when shutting down/restarting the PC) but sorts itself out if you keep it updated (through LiveUpdate). Norton Internet Security (or any other combined Anti-Virus app) can be quite a load on the system if your resources are low - Your mileage WILL vary. There are freebie apps (WinPooch plus ClamWin, AVG, Search and Destroy, among others) but it's hard to find decent recommendations. If you're running a separate firewall, say through your broadband modem/router, then you can limit the traffic from there (depends on the specs!) so going for the freebies would be ok for looking after the bits that 'fall through'. Hope that helps! Cheers, Luis. Jim Carwardine wrote: This is a whole new (and ugly) world to me, having managed to totally ignore PCs up until now.
