[ALLY] Re: REBOL 2.5 Released
From: mike_riley_:hotmai:l at: 28-Mar-2001 18:45
I have successfully executed the REBOL 2.5 release for the WinCE StrongARM
platform. Specifically, I am running it on a iPaq 3630 Pocket PC device
with the rebol.exe and rebol.r files placed into the \Windows directory.
However, I am having the following problems:
1) REBOL for WinCE doesn't seem to handle the "error" keyword, such as the
following code snippet:
if error? error: try [ my-func ] [
print "Function failed."
disarm error
quit
]
Is this a known issue or a bug specific to this platform?
2) Using the Remote Registry Editor, I have attempted to associate .r files
with the rebol.exe program. I have added the following to the CE Registry:
a) added a .r key to the HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT with the Default value rebolfile.
b) added a rebolfile key to the HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT.
c) added a DefaultIcon key to the rebolfile key with the Default value \Windows\rebol.exe,0
d) added a Shell key to the rebolfile key.
e) added a Open key to the Shell key.
f) added a Command key to the Open key with the Default value \Windows\rebol.exe %1
After doing so, I can click on a .r file and it launches the rebol.exe
program but does not load and execute the associated .r file. Is this also
a known issue, or is there an additional paramater I need to add to pass the
file name correctly? I also attempted to add the -s command line switch via
the Open key's default value ("\Windows\rebol.exe -s" %1), but this
combination failed to even execute the rebol program. Will a different
syntax work (such as "\Windows\rebol.exe" "-s" "%1")?
Lastly, even though the version states 2.5, the download page indicates a
different version number for the 'pending' PPC 2.0 version (is that even a
valid version number? I thought PPC was introduced with v3.0, not 2.0),
stating 0.0.0.15.3. If these problems are known, is a more functional PPC
v3.0 for StrongARM version expected to be released soon?
Thanks!
