Brock: 15-Apr-2005 | Is this a bug? 1) I read a directory on our ftp server and return a set of files of which 02 EN AR final.pdf is one of them 2) I then copy a URL address that returns a 404 indicating it couldn't find the file in question ie. http://www.cpcpension.com/files/2002EN AR final.pdf 3) I do a split-paths to-url on the contents of the clipboard:// that contains item in step 2) 4) I compare the file names for equality either using "=" or equal? and both return false 5) I check the type of each file, they are both 'file' types 6) I check the length of each file, the one from step 1) returns 20, step 2) returns 26 So, somewhere it is changing the representation of a space into the actual string " ". Any ideas? 6) | |
Brock: 15-Apr-2005 | when I execute this command... print second split-path to-file to-string read clipboard:// where I have copied the URL above into the clipboard:// it returns.... 2002 EN AR final.pdf | |
Vincent: 15-Apr-2005 | Brock: 'to-url converts a string into an url without escaping, escaping is only done when showing the url string: to-url "http://www.cpcpension.com/files/2002EN AR final.pdf" ; works == http://www.cpcpension.com/files/2002EN AR final.pdf ; blanks -> to-url "http://www.cpcpension.com/files/2002EN AR final.pdf" ; don't works == http://www.cpcpension.com/files/2002EN AR final.pdf ; only looks the same, but contains "%" "2" "0" you can use 'do or 'load to interpret the string in clipboard: do read clipboard:// load read clipboard:// (same with 'to-file) | |

Maxim: 23-Jun-2009 | have you ever read the parse documentation in the old RT publisehd rebol 2.3 pdf ? its a good reference... there are only minor changes from that version up to the latest... I don't think any of the examples would fail in the current parse. | |
Group: PDF-Maker ... discuss Gabriele's pdf-maker [web-public] | ||
Gabriele: 11-Aug-2005 | what you have to do is: extend the typesetter so that it can read font descriptions and build glyph width and kerning pairs tables (Volker has an AFM file parser); extend the dialect so that it can somehow recognize and load external fonts; study the PDF reference to see what you need to do to include the font in the PDF file (at the very least, you have to provide a font object; i'm not sure if this is sufficient, but i hope that the reader is able to load external fonts once you give it the font name and description; in theory you should embed the font into the PDF file, which usually means parsing the font file and so on) | |
Gabriele: 12-May-2009 | it's possible to edit the pdf file by appending stuff to it, but you'll need to read the specs to make that work, it's not entirely trivial either. | |

Ashley: 2-Aug-2007 | Ashley, can you explain in a little more detail how your setup works for you? Sure. I run a home office with two studies. Each has a Mac mini (plus Cinema display) for day-to-day work. My study also has a TabletPC connected to a 1280x1024 VGA LCD display. I use this for REBOL development and demos away from home. The iBook is located in the other study and is used by my better half when running Windows software related to our finance company (CRM/Sales software distributed via the professional body we belong to, no Mac or Linux option available). We also use the iBook when showing non-IT people stuff (e.g. a spreadsheet showing how much their portfolio could be worth if they geared it) and when attending training sessions. The ADSL modem has an ethernet connection to Airport express, which in turn has the MFC plugged into its USB slot. The Mac's pick up the printer automatically, the TabletPC runs Bonjour and does the same. Everything, including the TabletPC, detected the Network without issue. It really has been as simple as, 1) Unpack, 2) Plug-in, 3) Use. I've also noticed that WinXP running on the iBook is a lot faster/smoother than on the TabletPC as it installs 'clean' (i.e. piggy-backs off the Mac's Network and Hardware support). Large screens are a must if you write and or read a lot of documents. A 1920x1200 screen lets you do a slideshow on a PDF document and read the pages side-by-side. On wide screens I always have the task-bar/dock on the right to maximize the vertical display area. | |

[unknown: 9]: 4-Apr-2006 | Hello Denis, So, one of the things a group of us have been talking about is doing some group lessons (world wide). We have researched some tools for making this possible. We narrowed it down to Macromedia's Breeze. In fact last week I talked for about 2 hours with their team (meaning the people that actually designed and programmed it). This week I'm talking to their OEM leads about integrating Breeze from Rebol into Web applications. So our first Breeze interactive lesson will be in a few weeks is my guess. WE have not idea how good it will be with more than 10 people, and world wide, but we are going to try. As to a road map. Programming languages in general are difficult to learn in a methodical method. Rebol being even more difficult (in my opinion), because learning the structure does not help very much. Even learning how Rebol works is not all that usefull (compared to lets say Basic, or a Batching system). I will make some simple suggestions though: 1. Go to Rebol.com, and read what is offered there. It actually is a good starting point. Rebol Essentials" which is a PDF on the site is worth reading. 2. Write your own dictionary. Literally, pick a given word in Rebol, use it in a sentence. And just work your way through all 400+ words. You can do it in a few hours. All you need to do is try to use it in a way the Rebol Dictionary does not use it. 3. Build something you really want to build. Unless you have a goal, working on anything is going to be boring. Think of a utility, or a game that you have always wanted to understand better, or want to play with, and build it. Another cool concept is to simply copy it from an existing version in some other language you already know, or that is more simple (like Basic). | |

Henrik: 19-Sep-2008 | The browser as the launch platform for applications has always been an interesting idea. The fundamental problem of the sheer complexity of it can be solved with R3. If done right, it can completely wipe the floor with browsers and AJAX. I think the problem is that we haven't been speaking in a language that people can understand, such as "browser", "web2.0" and "webserver", but instead "dialects", "VID", "Viewtop" and "X Internet" and people go "huh?". Some things I believe are needed to do this right: - Browser form factor. People are used to browsers, not Viewtops. What's always the first thing a complete newbie computer user uses, when wanting to do anything on the internet? A webbrowser. I don't want a desktop inside my desktop. There are tens of solutions for such things and they are almost all forgotten. Carl is doing the REBOL browser. When you fire up R3, you will get what looks like a webbrowser and acts like one. The concept has to work equally well for people like us, as well as 5-year-olds and 95-year-olds. - Do apps that are similar to webapps, like GMail. That's a quick way to compare. Don't you think a 50k GMail look-a-like inside a REBOL browser running at native speeds would be _slightly_ impressive? Remember to say that you can serve 5 times more users with the same bandwidth. REBOL can help make raw numbers look better without much effort. Google would have to use it as a content platform. They have no other choice. :-) Chrome? What's that? - Plugins suddenly are very flexible. You don't have plugins as in Firefox, but helper scripts that can enhance/change your browsing experience. 15k full screen document reader that prettifies plain text files? Sure thing. Blog posts presented in that would be much nicer to read. Out goes the PDF reader. - Do apps that are completely out of the league of AJAX, such as multithreaded P2P systems. In fact, why not build P2P capabilities right in? Have different instances of the browser allow users to connect and chat, when they are visiting the same "Rebsite". It's sort of like going into a physical store and chatting with the other customers and you decide to exchange business cards. Initial contact without needing email. Do the same thing with chat support for an article that you bought at that "rebsite". Current websites are almost completely anonymous. You don't feel you are entering a live community. Coded in REBOL/Services. - Webpages are now REBOL scripts. In R3, scripts can be closed and encrypted, so you can't read the source and you can sell scripts and have them signed. The best you can do right now is some kind of code obfuscation. - Windows, MacOSX and Linux version. - "A webbrowser that directly supports OpenGL without obscure/limited 3rd party plugins." Say that again in your head. - It's very important that the public get to see that creating REBOL scripts for the browser is very similar to creating plain HTML pages. REBOL scripts can be served off a plain webserver. All the infrastructure is already there. Or how about serving scripts from the browser itself? AltME can both be a client and a server. It's that P2P thing again. - Browser would run wherever R3 runs. - Market it as Web 4.0. Market it as a direct competition to current webbrowsing. - Browser would be a 500-600 kb downloadable exe that starts immediately without installation. From deciding to get it, to be using it to browse "Rebpages", it should not take more than 30-45 seconds. - We need AltME in that browser (Altissimo?) as well as QTask. For developers: - It's easy to create an HTML file in notepad and display it in your favourite browser. It's going to be equally easy to create a REBOL script in notepad and see it running in your REBOL browser. A 5-year-old who has just learned to type, should be able to create a script and display it. - One language for everything. - Everything is free. You can start out with notepad. The barrier for creating content is about as low as it can get. - You wanna code slow web 2.0 apps or fast web 4.0 apps? Hard choice, I know. | |

BrianH: 4-Sep-2008 | Read up on the research on PDF sometime before you start promoting Postscript. It is even a good idea to use PDF instead if you are outputting through Ghostscript - it can handle it. |
