Just to be awkward (for a change . . . no irony intended), if 6.7.4 is built so that it will run on Windows XP [ a system released in 2001 ] why is it not built so that it can run on Mac OS 10.4 PPC [ a system released in 2005 ], or, for that matter, Mac OS 10.4 Intel? It is, also,

Richmond, Many thanks - I will give textwrangler a try, I have used it as a plain text editor but never really dug deep: I have down loaded the Revolution add-in that you pointed me to and may have a try at creating my own. The one thing I have not been able to do is to directly export

The other big difference - and this is no dig on either Microsoft or Apple - just a difference between the two: Apple drops backwards compatibility more frequently as they update their operating systems. They are able to do this because their buying audience both allows them to do so and in many

Its not the operating system, its the hardware. Well, ok its a combination. xp runs on intel hardware, so does win8. Software that runs on xp and intel hardware, has a decent (though not perfect) chance of running on win8, on intel hardware. However, the same piece of software won't run on

I've no objection to the built in script editor (except when it bangs out during debug) especially as I have just re-discovered that if I cut and paste from it I get coloured text. However, I want to create a document that compares Livecode script with VBA code and if I do a cut and paste

I’ve used TextWrangler, TextEdit, WebStorm, Coda2, Sublime Text2 3, Brackets, and now use Atom. I prefer Atom, mainly because of the packets manager, and that it’s open source. On Apr 4, 2015, at 04:12, Richmond richmondmathew...@gmail.com wrote: On 04/04/15 11:48, Simon Knight wrote:

After letting ideas percolate in my head for a few months, I realized that it would probably only take a couple or few lines of code to let revOpenDatabase() open a postgres database with the ssl option. So I started poking around github. It seems like the first piece of code is for
