What is the best strategy to auto update standalones.
I've never done this in Rev, but have in other languages
on Windows.
What I did was to execute a shell command to run a utility
program (the updater) followed by an application close
command (exit, quit). Then the updater ran, updates the
the bad thing about superstition is bad luck...
Unlike normal programming languages,
this remains a weakness in Rev's engine...
I find it strategic to be able to use the same names though...
Nonetheless, this works usually... although that's not exactly
without some luck behind... ;)

I remember when I first looked at Valentina I didn't like it because I was
moving from MySQL and was used to the many utilties that are available for
working with the database and Valentina didn't seem to have one. I am now
using SQLite and the SQLiteManager (and of course the Altuit plug-in).

If you mean PayPal -- it's pretty clearly not PayPal sending out all

Hi Pascal,
my interest now is in databases (I mean relational database without using
SQL.) and I'm looking for, and not finding any example of databases build
with Revolution. I mean something that looks like a FileMaker or a 4D product.
Is ther any example on Revolution web site, or other ?
Thanks a lot, Marcus.
The double trim is easy as you say, but I would never have guessed it.
However, by what I see from Alex Tweedly's first ideas about left and
right trims, these may not be so trivial. Any ideas about simple
solutions for these cases?
