REBOL - problems on PocketPC (WinCE 3.0)

 [1/4] from: geza67::freestart::hu at: 27-Jul-2001 1:01


Hello REBOLers, I recently bought a Compaq iPAQ 3630 (Intel StrongARM proc.) palm size machine and copied REBOL/Core to it. The executable loaded well BUT USER.R had not run automatically. It is rather strange and a bit annoying, how else could be implemented a startup customization ?? Well, the main problem is not the one mentioned above. REBOL is simply unusable on a keyboardless, pen-based system because the main REBOL console window is FULL size i.e. the OS input window (keyboard or handwriting) clips on top of it (actually on top of the lower part of the console window, where the cursor is located ...). I just can't see what I write ! I assume, the REBOL code is ill-behaved in this context because many other 3rd party programs automatically RESIZE their window as the input window pops up. Does anybody using a PocketPC with REBOL ... and _HOW_ :-) ??? -- Best regards, Geza Lakner MD mailto:[geza67--freestart--hu]

Put user.r in the root folder (\) of your compaq...

In Settings, put the following values : Scroll Buffer Lines : 10 Enable Use Screen width Terminal chars: 29 Font char: (anything, it won't work anyway ;-)

I am using PocketPC and Handheld/PCs with REBOL, as far as to _HOW_... if you can wait and check the site, an announce should be made soon regarding REBOL uses on palmtop devices. Best, Chris

Hello Christian, Thank you for the tips, I will try them as soon as I get back my little techno-gadget which drop dead right during a flash-ROM upgrade yesterday ;-(((
> Scroll Buffer Lines : 10
I tried on my desktop PC - THIS IS IT ! :-)

I can hardly await it ! :-) Did you hear any rumour about porting /View to PocketPC ? I think it should hardly be a problem: plenty of RAM are in those little machines, the OS-cutdown had probably not affected REBOL-specific issues ... ? -- Best regards, Geza mailto:[geza67--freestart--hu]

Hi, Thank you for the tips, I will try them as soon as I get back my little techno-gadget which drop dead right during a flash-ROM upgrade yesterday ;-((( Well at least you'll be able to upgrade to windowsce 4.0, iPaq made it official a few days ago... while I'll still be stuck with my un-updatable e125 ;) Well, I'll buy another device next year anyway ;)

re scroll buffer, well it's great, it's fast, but it has the inconveniance of not displaying a lot of info.

Hmm, btw I meant my site ;) and not Rebol official site, but anyway, should be ready in a little while, I still have some things to do on it before and I depend on receiving stuff ;) Did you hear any rumour about porting /View to PocketPC ? I think it should hardly be a problem: plenty of RAM are in those little machines, the OS-cutdown had probably not affected REBOL-specific issues ... ? Well, I would be glad to have it, but I haven't heard anything. best, Chris
