Still AM here...

Dumb question that I've asked before: How do I tell Rebol/View what 
my browser is?

So far I've been able to cheat just by creating a symlink called 
'netscape' to my firefox executable, but it would be nice to just 
use the currently open firefox session

windows or linux?

Linux

didn't Jamie post some code that shows how to use an existing Firefox 
session?

... scrolling back ... yes indeed. Must be the brain shrinkage ;-)

Brian: browser for  Rebol/View >1.2.1 set-browser-path "path/to/firebird 
-url "

for Rebol/View 1.21 (may not work on linux): append clear netscan/def-browser 
"path/to/firebird -url "

The collision has forced up spectacular large thrust ridges up to 
1500 m high, higher than Ben Nevis. These unstable blocks have collapsed 
in places, producing large landslides several kilometres across that 
have scarred the seafloor.

Has anyone made a utility to download a complete web site?

that's not a very friendly thing to do.

and if you hit a website that is cgi based...you will be downloading 
from an infinite space.

Having said that, I think Bo has written a utility to spider a website

Do you have a link?

try the library ..

Don't find it there.  Oh well, I've got to log off and get some sleep. 
 I'll look better tomorrow.  Thanks, Graham.

Carl's also written a links checker -- this may be easy to adapt 
to what you want by limiting it to internal URLs 

http://www.rebol.org/cgi-bin/cgiwrap/rebol/view-script.r?script=site-check.r

But as Graham says, if you run anything like this, be social. Many 
sites have banned things like HTTtrack (a website downloader) simply 
because they don't pace their requests.

Carl's link checker goes infinite if there's a "../" link anywhere 
in the website...

I have a patch for that ../  bug in carls link checker

wops, was cleaning the keyboard..sorry 8)

Can someone give me a succinct definition of the term 'meta'? -- 
for example, in the context that it is used in an HTML document to 
provide additional information on the content...

You mean, what is the meaning in English? The html definition for 
META was not useful ?

I believe the term 'meta" is usually used as a short form of Metadata. 
Metadata is data which descrbes the data.


Eg A  value of 1000 is data, its metadata includes -  type is integer; 
it has 4 digits, it is positive.

Hope this is of some help

Here's a definition from http://biology.usgs.gov/nbs/meta/metadata.htm
:


-- Metadata describe the content, quality, condition, and other characteristics 
of data. Metadata help a person to locate and understand data.

Yep, that's how I understand it.

In the context of UNIX, we talk about meta characters. That's characters 
with special meaning to the shell. Examples are *, ?, [ and ].
I agree with the metadata definition above.

And then we have the Metabaron! Ah yes! :-) But then we're in the 
comics context of Moebius and Jodorowsky.

hello everybody!

I'd like to store data in a block as follow:
[
	12 [name "John" phone "123"]
	14 [name "Carl"]
	bb [name "Bob" phone "222"]
]

is there a rapid way to get the index:
[12 14 bb]

would it be better to keep an index?
[
	[12 14 bb]
	[
		12 [name "John" phone "123"]
		14 [name "Carl"]
		bb [name "Bob" phone "222"]
	]
]

any better idea on how to better store data, welcome!
thx 8)

'extract
extract your-data 2 
returns a block with [12 14 bb]

What do you need the index for?  with a structure like that you can 
do the following...

data: [
	12 [name "John" phone "123"]
	14 [name "Carl"]
	bb [name "Bob" phone "222"]
]
data/12 ; == [name "John" phone "123"]
data/12/name ; == "John"

record: 12
data/:record ; == [name "John" phone "123"]

Vincent, Thank you, I wasn't aware of the 'extract function and  
never used forskip till now. Now I wonder if it takes more resources 
to update the index or use the extract when I need the index.

Ammon, I need to peek a random record 8)

Ah, I see what you are trying to accomplish now. ;-)

in your case, a cheap (resource-wise) extract is:

index: make bloc! (length? data) / 2
foreach [value pad][insert tail index value]

bloc! == block!

Re. meta -- Peter, that follows the one dictionary definition* that 
seems to fit -- "used with the name of a discipline to designate 
a new but related discipline designed to deal critically with the 
original one" -- so metadata is new data used to describe (or deal 
critically with) data, right?
* http://www.m-w.com/cgi-bin/dictionary?meta-

If that holds -- does a Rebol header contain meta-values?  Is RSS 
meta-content of a web site?  Is this discussion meta-meta?  (ok, 
too far...)

Help: after 6 hours configuration I couldn't run rebol/pro on my 
dedicated webserver (IIs6). does anybody have a install tip ?ps: 
the taskmanager shows reppro.exe running but did'nt terminate the 
exe nor deliver the page. I tried also different script header and 
examples from the docs.

Seems a lot of people have problems getting rebol cgi working with 
IIS

yes, tried with  path/rebpro.exe" -cs %s %s"  nothing change, the 
exe is running but did'nt deliver until timeout...

Have you tried looking at the error logs?

from the mailing list

Windows generally uses the registry for mapping to extension.
Try looking for something as follows under "regedit":


HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE    System       CurrentControlSet          Services

W3Svc               Parameters                 Script_Map Once there 
you

wantto EDIT --> New --> String Value to add a new extension association 
of

   ".cgi" Then MODIFY the new ".cgi" entry to associated it with the 
   rebol
executable, eg

   "C:\rebol\rebol.exe %s %s" Here "C:\rebol\" may be different on your
system and note that you must end with .exe.

Now restart the computer to get the new setting.

After that any script in a directory that the server sees as EXECUTABLE 
(eg,

the default "scripts" directory) which ends in *.cgi will be sent 
to the
rebol interpreter.

Best
YekSoon, keeping my fingers crossed.
