Re: Rev as Linux Shell Script

I'm hoping it will help you understand my motivation... ... snip I've read how to get the runtime working as a CGI and played around enough that I 'can' (seemingly) make it work from a shell with the #!revolution -ui declaration on the first line. However, when I get to some of the higher level features (FTP, ODBC, etc) I start getting errors. I was researching how to possibly resolve these issues (need libraries, etc) when I found that Rev 3.5 is the last version to support the ability to run as a CGI. I also am keen to use LiveCode to write shell programs and believe that it is possible by adopting a slightly different approach. I believe that if you build a standalone of your script, you can run the 'standalone program with the -ui argument. I performed a small test under Revolution 4.0. I created a new stack and added the following handler to the stack: on startup put Hello Console quit end startup I created a standalone and then ran the executable from a shell console using the -ui option : Rodney:MacOS peter$ ./CLTest -ui Hello Console Rodney:MacOS peter$ It's not much of a test but it did work. I would expect the technique to work just as well under Linux. It would be even better if there was an option to build a GUI-less program when building a standalone in LiveCode though.

Re: Distinguishing between ASCII and UTF8
Richard I have an app that needs to auto-detect Unicode and plain text, and render them correctly based on that auto-detection. I have the UTF16 stuff working, but with UTF8 I have a problem: there is no BOM to let me know if it's Unicode, and some plain text files will occasionally have high-ASCII values in them (like the dagger symbol). What patterns should I be looking for in the binary data of a file to distinguish UTF8 from plain text? These are the Rules of Thumb that I have used to try to determine the encoding type of text files. I feel that I achieved more than 90 per cent success but that may because most of the files only included true ASCII characters (0 -127). The script only tries to distinguish between ASCII, UTF-8, MacRoman and Windows 1252 Codepage (the US default for Windows). Rules of Thumb, applied in the following order: 1. If the string starts with a BOM, the encoding infered by the BOM will be returned. 2. If the string contains only characters in the range 0x00 - 0x7F, it is an ASCII string. 3. If the string contains more UTF-8 multi-byte characters than it does invalid utf-8 characters and invalid multi-byte sequences, it is a UTF-8 string. 4. If the string contains characters in the range 0xA0 - 0xFF but none in the range 0x80 - 0x9F, it is an ISO-8859-1 string. 5. If the string contains any of 0x81, 0x8D, 0x8F, 0x90 or 0x9D, it is a MacRoman string. . 6. If the string contains carriage returns but no line feeds, it is a MacRoman string. 7. It is a Windows 1252 Codepage string. The approach I take in the script is to count the different types of characters in the text and then apply the rules of thumb. The script is written in REBOL so will probably not be even be of help as a guide. However, the documentation includes a table of the differences between UTF-8, Windows 1252 and MacRoman which you may find useful.

Re: Writing Externals in Pascal?
Mark I suspect that writing a dynamic link library for use with Rebol is likely to be easier than writing an external for Revolution. The Rebol language is evaluated not compiled. I found writing a dynamic link library with FPC quite straightforward though I encountered two problems which I have been able to overcome. The first could hinder developing complicated externals for Revolution. FPC does not support error handling in dynamic link libraries, so no try/finally etc.. I believe this is due to the difficulty of coming up with a cross-platform implementation. This limitation can probably be overcome through conservative and defensive coding in most cases. In my case, I perform additional validations in the Rebol module that calls the dynamic link library. The second is that there is a conflict between the Mac OS X Snow Leopard linker and FPC. There is a work around but the resulting dynamic link library is not fully stable. I believe this is something to do with initialisation and termination routines. The workaround is to compile the dynamic link library under Mac OS X Leopard. The dynamic link library is very simple but runs successfully on Windows, Ubuntu and Mac OS X.

Re: Writing Externals in Pascal?
Hi Scott
I am also be interested in being able to develop externals in Free Pascal. At
the moment, I am testing calling a dynamic load library written in Free Pascal
from Rebol (a language written in C) using C calling conventions.
It is impossible to get the level
of granularity of compiler options with Borland's compilers
(C++ Builder, Delphi) to get the combination of:
1. no leading underscore
You get to name the function in FPC. Here is an extract from my dll:
{$ifndef Darwin}
exports
version name 'version';
{$else}
exports
version name '_version';
{$endif}
2. mixed case exported symbols
I tested with a mixed case function name:
exports
accountingformat name '_accountingFormat',
version name '_version';
3. C-style parameter passing (first to last)
4- C-style stack frames (calling program cleans up
the stack)
FPC includes a modifier for the cdecl calling convention (which I believe
answers 3 4). Here is an example:
procedure version(var answer: shortstring);cdecl;
begin
answer := CurrentVersion;
end;

Re: ode Samples/Comparisons
The program that markets itself as the champion of the one-liners is REBOL. Its website features a hundred one-liners O.K. you won the one-liner contest but where are the programs that actually do something useful? REBOL reminds me of a trailer to an action movie that contains all the good parts. When you watch the entire movie you wonder what the hell that was all about. As for me, the only selling point for REBOL is that Pierre Sahores thinks highly of it. (But he's a lot smarter than I am.) I was enthusiastically introduced to Revolution by Olivier Auverlot (http://auverlot.fr/) after working with him to translate one of his books on Rebol to English. (I included his web address as list members may be interested in his OdtRev stack for working with OpenOffice.org - it's free. The docs are in French, I will try to find the time from somewhere to translate them into English.) Sometimes Rebol does seem to promise more than it delivers but it can do some very useful things. Two very different examples are the Cheyenne Web Server (http://cheyenne-server.org/) and the Synapse Electronic Medical Record System (http://www.compkarori.co.nz:8090/).

Re: Rev 4.0 article on TheServerSide
Richard IIRC, the Java example of how to make an alias is from the Apple web site. That raises an interesting question. Is is because Apple's engineers write poor Java that Steve Jobs said “Java’s not worth building in. Nobody uses Java anymore. It’s this big heavyweight ball and chain.” or is it because Steve Jobs said it that Apple's engineers write poor Java? Whatever the answer, Andre raised a very relevant point, with which I fully agree, that Rev is not well served by using a comparison against what others feel is very poor code. To truly demonstrate Rev's ability against other code, get the code written by a recognised expert in that language (somebody like Bruce Eckel for Java and C++). Yes, it would cost money but I believe it would be money well spent. If RunRev doesn't have or want to spend the money then issue a challenge to improve the code on a forum like Stackoverflow. To exemplify both points, I was going to write a counter example of sending a simple email - sending a simple text message. I'm new to Rev so I couldn't do it off the top of my head. So, I leave it to the experts on the list to come up with the Rev to counter my Rebol example: REBOL[] ;; Script header ;; Initialise network settings set-net [ myem...@mydomain.com smtp.MyDomain.com pop.MyDomain.com ProxyDomain.com ;; or None ProxyPort ;; or None ProxyProtocol ;; or None MyUserAccount MyPassword ] send yourem...@yourdomain.com Hello There send/header yourem...@yourdomain.com Doesn't this demonstrate a biased example?

Re: Hide Screen Furniture
Dear Richmond Heaven forfend the thought of over-riding your UI selections PERMANENTLY, but as it seems perfectly reasonable, under certain circumstances, to make the Windows Taskbar or the Mac Menubar take a holiday, it might be equally reasonable to clear away an end-user's screen clutter so that s/he can see the UI of the stack/standalone they are using. I make the EFL stuff for my school to a standardised 1024 x 768 screen size, and that's just fine for the Linux boxes; everything (meaning the GNOME panel) gets hidden. However, the Mac version resizes daftly unless there is a 'hide menuBar' in the preOpen Card script. I don't know about Klaus's Dock, which he claims tucks away with hide menuBar; the faithful, old, G3 iMac (running Tiger) has to have the Dock set to Hide for that to happen. Personally, while I like the Dock on the Macs, and use both Avant Window Navigator and Cairo Dock on my Ubuntu test machine, they do tend to get on my nerves when they float around over whatever I am trying to do. I am trying to understand what is the difference between hiding screen furniture and using full screen mode especially when you appear to be filling the screen on your Linux boxes. I'm sure there must be a difference as somebody would have advised you to set the fullscreen of the stack to true but I'm lost. I look forward to finding out.

Re: Unicode Numbers
Richmond Cheap-Jacks like me, who want to find out unicode values for obscure characters and explore the wierd and wonderful array of characters in unicode fonts can do worse than using this: http://fontforge.sourceforge.net/ Fontforge is FREE and cross-platform and makes me wonder why I bought Fontographer in 1995. If you just like finding unicode values and browsing unicode characters on your Mac, you could simply use the built-in character palette.
