Rev as Linux Shell Script

2010-10-28 Thread Bill Andersen
I'm sorry this is so long winded. I'm hoping it will help you understand my motivation... I am a necessity programer. I don't sell my programs, I program as a systems analyst to achieve results for my employer. I have developed fairly complex solutions in FileMaker and I can program in VB,

If you stick to the 3.5 engine or switch to RevServer but want to do some net stuff not enabled by libURL, you can always shell() to cURL and be happy. Yes. However, I'm still having to work with 'non-rev' syntax (learning how cURL works). As it turns out, I already know most of it

RE: Windows 7 - any experiences?

2009-06-19 Thread Bill Andersen
I liked Windows 7 a lot. Much snappier than Windows Vista. Lots of updated drivers. A smarter UAC. I would probably use it except for two problems: 1) I prefer the Vista/XP task bar. And 2) there is no upgrade path from RC1 to the shipping version of Windows 7; you will have to do a clean

This is a little obscure, but I have a client who is using Apple's WorkGroup Manager who is claiming that they (admin) set the permissions of my [Revolution] application to read/write. Then, when the user logs in they don't have permissions to run the application. They claim this is not an

Best Practices Question

2009-05-27 Thread Bill Andersen
Can someone point me to a Best Practices or good itermediate tutorial on programming in Rev. I've been able to do quite a bit and can use the dictionary to learn how to use the language, but I'm having trouble understanding how most people use Globals, Custom Properties, etc. I've read pro and

Devin, Great stuff. Very helpful. If nothing else to confirm I'm not as lost as I feel sometimes. I find I do 90% or more of what you listed. I guess just from experience with other languages! Declare your local variables and enable the variable checking by default option. It will

I will correct myself about files loading automatically, I was thinking of lower down in the folder hierarchy. Nonetheless, common sense would seem to indicate that storing data files in the Program Files directory would seem a Bad Idea. A agree. Not to mention the problems Vista has with
