"industrial strength encryption" relies on the openssl libraries. They are not available on mobile platforms (I conclude this is why Monty provides that feature with an external). There are various discussions of this on the forum. But nothing that meets your requirements. http://forums.runrev.c

I don't know why you are seeing the light show. But could you not set the visible of those stacks to false in a shutdown/shutdownRequest handler? Obviously, you'd have to change that property when the stacks are loaded again. Bernard On Sun, Dec 16, 2012 at 12:37 PM, Richmond wrote: > So, a be

Peter, you could try replacing the 5.5.2 libUrl code with that from an earlier version. LibURL is the script of a button somewhere (can't remember where off the top of my head). Comment out the current script, paste in the old one. See if the problem persists. That will indicate the engine or t

I've almost never used the "breakpoint" command; it's too cumbersome (or I'm too lazy). However, I've seen a pattern to reddot breakpoints being ignored. Once a script has run through with a reddot, on a subsequent run the reddot is ignored (unless the script is re-saved between executions). So,

I never hook up Postgres so that the service talks to the outside world, so this is just a guess. Did you format your submitted password using md5digest() when you changed from "trust" to "md5"? (You at least know you are talking to Postgres (the FATAL: response looks like a Postgres response).
