Damn Admins

Nothing to do but monitor the developers

LOL

the reason Notepad works with a direct call is that it is in the 
system path in windows.  Textpad would not, but the path could be 
added, then you wouldn't need the direct path to it.

but when i start a console, "start textpad" works.

So, the default console has the path of the installed apps in his 
env.

That's because start references the app paths setting under HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\App 
Paths.

Not all programs register themselves there though. The run menu references 
it too.

Where can I find the most up to date port information for R3?

devbase .... aka the wiki

or ... even more uptodate .. ask Carl

DocBase is the wiki; DevBase is accessed through chat.

It could be worse: We originally referred to the proposed bug tracking 
system as BugBase, before we used CureCode.

I think I'm going to refer to them from now on as, chat and wiki 
...!

As long as you refer to the manual as a "manual" even if it is technically 
a wiki too, that will work.

I only make the distinction between chat and DevBase for technical 
reasons.

I think we should factor them .. and remove the redundant 'Base ...

That would turn them into generic terms, rather than the formal names 
for specific things that they are now.

As you can see the TRETBASE group has really been picking up - this 
is because I'm busy porting the older Tretbase DBMS to R3 and finding 
problems along the way so I'm going to post some of the problem here 
to see if anyone else is seeing the same.

try a rejoin using two binary values.

Looks like a problem with append:

	append "" ["a"]
	append #{00} [#{01}]

Note that join works (as it's not appending a block).

Already posted a ticket about that today.

Are modules working correctly?

>> system/version
== 2.100.96.2.5
>> import http://www.rebol.it/power-mezz/mezz/form-error.r
>> source form-error
form-error undefined


Also, are the Imports and Globals fields (as used in Gab's Power 
Mezz) supported? ... http://www.rebol.com/r3/docs/concepts/modules-defining.html#section-3

Gabriele's modules aren't compatible with R3 modules, and the Power 
Mezz package is for R2 (so far).

Looks like just the Name field is missing ... missed that.

What's the easiest way (under R3) to write code like this:

f: make function! [[][
	cols: [c1 c2]
	data: [2 4]
	cmd: [c1 + c2]
	set cols data
	do cmd
]


without adding words to the global context? (and not predefining 
c1, c2, etc).

Use FUNCT to define the function and use cols: [c1: c2:].

Slightly clearer example of what I'm trying to do:

f: make function! [[cols data cmd][
	set cols data
	do cmd 
]]

f [c1 c2] [2 4] [c1 + c2]

APPLY FUNC cols cmd data

Still no luck:

f: funct [cols data cmd][
	set cols data
	do cmd
]

apply :f [[c1 c2] [2 4] [c1 + c2]]

f: func [cols data cmd] [apply func cols cmd data]

FUNC in R3 does a COPY/deep of its spec and code blocks, so it's 
safe to use here.

Perfect. Elegant as well.

the new R3 web site is SOOOO much better to navigate on..... 


yeah, it doesn't look like a million, but at least it doesn't get 
in your way, like the old site did. 

just tought I'd share my POV.

Max - it is just a structure, which was reshapen, and the page was 
also de-stylled. The layout, styling and gfx of the new site is not 
done yet, as well as front page segmentation for particular target 
groups interests ...

but already looks and feels better.

more lightweight, better structured, yes ...

Anything new ??

no, nothing ... not even web site changes anymore .... so - R3 black-out 
for more than 2 months ....

he did post on the blogs about what he's been doing and that he is 
now back to R3 coding.

Time to resume some R3 builds.  Do we have an ordered list of what 
we want to do next?

Just for those reading here (that is, please.... do not post web 
links to it), new wiki has:
www.rebol.com/priorities.html

(So Pekr, if you're wondering what's happening, that's where you 
check.)

:-)

Hi James.   There's actually an outline mode in the new wiki... so 
it's very easy to maintain and update this list.

Yes, very impressive.

I probably need to put a no-cache meta directive on it.

OF course the issue is not the list, is it? It's "doing" all the 
stuff.

BTW, the website looks nice and it's fast. I miss the link to the 
 script library though.

Correct.  But, I want to findout what people want the most now.  
I think last time "conference" was about posting the Console code 
from R2 as a starting point for that project.
