This also doesn't work with negative integers, because the left-most 
bit is set in those cases. I have bit-operations for shift and rotate, 
that works on full 32-bit integers, if anyone needs those.

HELP (please) I have installed Core 2.6 on an embedded Ubuntu Linux, 
and when I try to open the comm port, I get and Access Error for 
ttyC0 but when I look in the /dev/ directory, I see a ttyc0 but not 
a ttyC0  ...   I tried as root to ln -s /dev/ttyc0 ttyC0  ...  but 
get the same error.

Anyone have an idea how to trick out Linux on this?

(or how to trick REBOL into asking for ttyc0 instead?

I do a   serial-port: open/direct/binary/no-wait serial://port/38400/8/none/1 
serial://port1/38400/8/none/1

rather... serial-port: open/direct/binary/no-wait serial://port/38400/8/none/1

no, exactly... serial-port: open/direct/binary/no-wait serial://port1/38400/8/none/1

aha...just found some Ubuntu notes on www.rebol.net/builds/lib-dep.html...mahbe 
I need to get the debian update.

I found REBOL ubuntu, and downloaded, but same problem, Access error: 
Cannot Open ttyC0

...simply doing open serial://port1

added RAMBO  Ticket #-639

Look at system/port/serial and change it to reflect what you have 
in /dev/
I guess with [ttyc0 ttyc1]
Almost it's what we have to do under Windows.

Thanks, DideC, it is [ttyC0 ttyC1] ; with caps...

aha...system/ports/serial  (was going fish-eyed on that...0-o-o<

portS

get in get in system 'ports 'serial

hmmn, system/ports/serial: [ttyc0 ttyc1] is not enough to prevent 
the problem

neither does system/ports/serial: [ttys0 ttys1]

Anyone got a way of operating on each element of a series except 
the last ?

Or, doing something different to the last element.

>> s: [1 2 3 4]
== [1 2 3 4]

>> forall s [either tail? next s [print ["Last item is" s/1]] [print 
s/1]]
1
2
3
Last item is 4

eFishAnt, a wild guess: what about rebooting the OS after you've 
made the link to ttyc0? Maybe some internal list of devices is made, 
when the OS boots?

Thanks .. I was using a while block, but yours is shorter.

eFishAnt, you have replaced the block at system/ports/serial. Try 
replacing just the first word in the original block with 'ttyc0. 
 Just a wild guess.

I just tried hex-editing rebol.exe in Rebol/View 1.3.2.3.1 here on 
windows. I found "com1" and changed it to "COM1". Then when I started 
again system/ports/serial == [COM1 com2]

I've discovered that the GC seems to accelerate as it processes more 
and more of the same data... A 10 million allocated, linked and initalised 
liquid node test is proving this once more, so my guess is that Carl 
put some kind of heuristic detection or what have not, which adapts 
the sizes of the values in the allocation and GC, based on recurring 
tasks.

right now every time it creates 100000 new nodes, my loop's speed 
steadily increases by about 0.065 %

and the memory foot print of my application stays the same at ~  
300 MB

I manually call a recycle at the end of each iteration. so 300MB 
is what is needed to have 100000 nodes in memory without any GC.

so many nodes, what for? :-) What is node in liquid terms anyway?

I am stress testing the library.

it must support 100 million allocated and linked nodes for me to 
be happy.

imagine a double edged directed graph node.

it seems to me, you are building compositing engine, aren't you? 
And if so, yours will be redundant to View one ... will not it be 
slow? Or is liquid kind of being complementary addition to View engine?

pekr always seing behind smoke and glass  ;-)

It must use part of the View system in order to show something in 
a window (faces) and to get events.

glass is a compositing engine, which might grow out of view IF R3 
promises are fullfiled.

but glass also allows your "processors" to be linked to the engine 
dynamically...

so using the same interface definition, you can have two totally 
different displays.

2d/3d , color/b&W, etc

Anton, Geomol, thanks...will try those on my next visit.

Good luck.

I was going to ask what is a good hex editor to download into ubunto...but 
then I figured out I should just use a REBOL hex editor...if I need 
to to change I can just change it myself.

BTW, your virtual face demo rocks, Anton.  I contorted the face so 
hard, it nearly cracked my CRT!   ;-)

Thanks. :) I had to contort my forehead for a few days to get that 
to work.

That could cause wrinkles.  Hmmn, I searched the library and don't 
see the hex editors...trying to remember where they came from.  I 
think at least one was pretty decent.

eFish - wasn't it in terms of competition? Try ViewTop then, and 
rebol.com competition section ...

Am I the only one who thinks that 64bytes for an empty block is a 
lot or ram?
