Identity, Bindology and Parse versus RE articles


the above articles have been revamped and moved to: http://www.rebol.net/wiki/Identity
, http://www.rebol.net/wiki/Bindology, http://www.rebol.net/wiki/Parse_versus_RE
. When checking, do not forget to read and comment the http://www.rebol.net/wiki/Decimals-64#Rounding
section in DevBase.

The Include function (see http://www.fm.tul.cz/~ladislav/rebol/#section-4.1
) has a couple of improvements:


*introduction of Include-supporting comments (faster, than Comment), 
that can be either "stripped off" by Include or kept, depending on 
the KEEP-COMMENTS variable (if the variable is defined, comments 
are kept, otherwise they are stripped off)

*support of embedded scripts as described in http://www.rebol.com/docs/core23/rebolcore-5.html#section-2

http://www.rebol.net/wiki/Inclusion_Methods#INCLUDE- my contribution 
to the discussion

Janko: give it a look, I would be surprised, if it didn't suit user's 
needs better than PREREBOL or DO

From experience I can agree to Lad's statement. It's really a very 
useful INCLUDE, especially if combined with the SDK.

http://www.rebol.net/wiki/INCLUDE_documentation

I will look at it .. but I don't know much about this yet .. I haven't 
yet used PREREBOL  and I use do in only the basic way

I looked at the docs and it seems really cool ..

http://www.fm.vslib.cz/~ladislav/rebol/include.r: error reporting 
made more comfortable

INCLUDE is very nice. What I think it still missing from the wiki 
are cons about the lower level alternatives with regard to higher 
level "standards". e.g. with LOAD and custom scripts you can do anything, 
sure, but there is no standard model, so each system is ad hoc.

right you are, don't you want to add your idea to the discussion? 
(you are good at formulating things,  better than I am)

I added point #8 to http://www.rebol.net/wiki/Inclusion_Methods#General_Needs, 
I suppose that is what you mean

I'll try to make time to give it some more thought and update the 
wiki.

Another rebol + cheyenne website : http://www.qwikitxt.com/


I am cheating a little this time since it reuses most of qwikitodo 
:)  ... I have made a screencast for the lazy ones to see the features 
a little deeper inside.. :  http://www.screencast.com/t/yRUawmvIB
(like visual diffing between versions)

cute...I could see it being useful..

www.rebol.org is being moved by the ISP to a faster server.  I'm 
not sure they understand what's really involved, so it is very likely 
that the site is going to break.

I'm posting this message here, because I'm not sure if the ISP knows 
who to contact for REBOL.org.  (Well, actually, I'm not totally sure 
either, because it was/is a team effort.  Last I recall, Sunanda 
was the primary person -- please excuse me if I am incorrect.)

If you need to reach me -- the fastest method is to send me a message 
on R3 Chat.

it means that rebol 3 will be released in a few ?

BTW, #51 is rebol.org on R3 chat.

(xavier: well, it's getting close with so many fixes, no?)

yessssssssssssssssssssssss

i have seen it when i was in the house of maxim but according to 
him it was still presenting inconvenience

i d like to do some 'real' programms in rebol 3

i have an application for a dentist with which i could do it

I launched the Aule Browser today at http://www.logiquewerks.com/aule-browser/index.html
   I am also at work on a Qtask browser - but first I have to stop 
tinkering with my Evernote SSB  (you need to tolerate the Curl runtime 
to view my stuff )

sounds cool ... is it free??

Anyone using hotmail these days?

I have a utility that I am testing that will login to hotmail, download 
all the messages, and then detach alll attachments

http://accessories.s3.amazonaws.com/hotmailer.exe

I'd like to add more command line switches but need Max to fix args.r 
!

http://accessories.s3.amazonaws.com/hotmailer.ris the source

I have made a screencast of "the other" REBOL/Cheyenne/JS project 
besides Site Assistant that I have been developing. It's in my language 
(Slovene) only for now and so is the screencast but I hope images 
will also give some feeling what it's about.  http://screencast.com/t/HxfFGtg9r

Nice treepad editor announced on mailing list

Hi all,


After learning a lot from you all I feel like I should contribute 
a bit.

On http://alain.goye.free.fr/rebol/or on Rebol Desktop's "AGReb" 
Reb site,
you can find:


- an updated version of %NoteReb.r, a REBOL tree-like notes organizer,
similar to and compatible with http://www.treepad.com/.

This new version of NoteReb.r has quite more functionalities; I use 
it to

work. A major bug seems to remain when intensively using the "undo" 
function
of Romano's edit-text-undo.r , which is quite nice despite that.


- a simple todo list, %todo-ag.r, which orders tasks by priority 
based on
their importance, workload and deadline...


If anyone likes these please drop me a line, and if you improve them, 
all
the better!

Alain.

Hi... we are going to finish with the Machinarium game I'm working 
on using my Rebol/Flash dialect. Last level left to do, adding sounds 
and of course some bug fixing and optimizations must be done now.
Here is the newest trailer (contains a few game spoilers!):
http://www.amanita-design.net/blog/2009/08/05/new-trailer/

is this going to have a Wii version as well?

It's possible, we are already authorized for Wii software development. 
But first we need to finish it as a pure Flash version.

upgraded (only FILE! and URL! accepted in INCLUDE-PATH, other values 
cause an error)

A hackerspace was created here in Ljubljana and I got accepted to 
work there . I suspect I got in because I code in weird languages 
like REBOL and one of  founders is a Linux hacker with a affinity 
to these more interesting languages.  He also mentioned he would 
like to organise talks in local cybercenter and that iti would be 
cool if I could present REBOL ..

ah, shit.. I thought I am posting this under Advocacy not Announce 
.. scratch it ...

A poll you might want to fill out.

The author behind http://reboltutorial.comasked me to let you know 
about his site. I found the tutorial on Parsing quite helpful. Check 
it out. The Testimonials and the links like http://coolnamehere.com/geekery/rebol/index.html
are interesting.

Jobs scheduler library for REBOL (1st beta) : http://softinnov.org/dl/scheduler-r090.zip
- see %scheduler.r header for quick doc & samples

- please use [All] channel for replies and discussions about this 
library

OK, Carl asked me to announce this, so this will be quick and dirty:

The VID Extension Kit for R2:


This is a library that overhauls VID and the styles to improve the 
experience in using it and creating bigger programs with it. This 
is very much a work in progress, but if I continue to keep it under 
wraps, I'll never get it out. :-)

Quick feature list:

- Full tab navigation
- Field validation and autoformatting
- Full resizing
- Many new flags

- Much better face control: disabling/enabling faces, different setting 
and getting of panels, complex face navigation

- Many new styles: Selectors, balancers, lists, fields, panels, scrollers, 
iterators

- Many VID bugs are fixed, although the impossible ones still remain

- Many new VID bugs are introduced as well :-) Some styles are not 
working.

Try it out at:

http://www.hmkdesign.dk/rebol/vid/src/vid-ext-kit.r

A simple style browser is available at:

http://www.hmkdesign.dk/rebol/vid/tools/style-browser.r

Very preliminary docs at:

http://www.hmkdesign.dk/rebol/vid/docs/vid-extension-kit.html


I'll release the full sources later, but have a look and see what 
you think. Remember to ask questions.

A little bit surprised, that I was asked, if systray support done 
by Cyphre for my purposes, could be used by others, as I stated it 
obviously here on altme. To put the confusion aside, Cyphre managed 
to release it publicly - license - BSD:
