Re: [racket-users] Mozart's Musical dice with rsound

Thanks John I've made updates (below) based on your suggestions, and the overall effect is pleasing. 1. The use of asdr fixed the choppiness, although I don't really understand what I'm doing. [I understand that asdr stands for Attack-Decay-Sustain-Release

[racket-users] Re: Why is there a space in the path to the Racket application on MacOSX?

Count me in as a person who renames racket installations without spaces. It is more prudent to design file names without special characters, escapes, or quotes. Otherwise, any shell script that might otherwise work on most unix file names may fail. It's just not worth the hassle guessing if

Thanks so much Mr. Williams. I posted that last item then disappeared - I had one of my CPA exams (I failed, but i always think that after an exam) & just had to force myself not to check my email for a couple of days. I hope it didn't take you too long. Unless, like me, you program like some

[racket-users] Re: Why is there a space in the path to the Racket application on MacOSX?

I think you are trying to solve the wrong problem. If people want to use a command-line tool they should know how to use the command line first. They don't have to know every arcane feature of the Bourne Shell, but knowing to escape spaces or quote strings is the bare minimum. Think about it

How about a direct use of `file-or-directory-modify-seconds`? Does (file-or-directory-modify-seconds "test-file" (current-seconds)) on an existing "test-file" set the timestamp on "test-file" to the current time? At Thu, 29 Mar 2018 04:38:23 -0700 (PDT), Greg Trzeciak wrote: > You are right -
