maybe TC can be batchable, it has lots of plug-ins also available, 
but the product is not small, nor is it free ...

Sounds like it could be easily done Robert in REBOL

directory opus 8 has as similar function and is scriptable, I believe, 
but I can't be sure if it can be run from a cli

I wonder if Bo's LTC-Backup tool can do that? Checkout his folders 
on IOS/Developer

smooth-copy is it's current name

it can do an incremental backup .. but I don't if it will or will 
not copy over a later file if they are different

cp -au 
?

it is creepy when this list gets sooo silent for long periods of 
time...

long being a more than an hour... ;-)

just need more pple in each different time zone

is it me or have the successive server failures reduced the amount 
of traffic here?

it's you.

:-)

There's no list traffic either, and no blog update

Rebol is going into an early winter.

I've been like that recently, I guess we are all very busy... which 
is not so surprising...

but recent remark news means I am picking up programming threads...so 
I guess I'm not the only one with things just around the corner...

I hope you're right Maxim

I've been busy here trying to pick up chicks.

LOL

Anton you are lucky man... ;-)

I'm in my prime, so I ought to be :)

Robert, I have used Beyond Compare I fopund it to be excellent.
Dont think its Batchable though .....

As Steve mentioned, I will probably been in Europe Mar 18-Apr 3. 
 Going to London, then I will probably head to either France or Italy 
for a week.

If anyone wants to be visited, let me know. :)

Just so that it is not overlooked, I just started a new group to 
talk about communications solutions for desaster relief goups

My friend and I are not necessarily sticking to France or Italy, 
but I would love to hear suggestions of places to see.

If you decide to come to Italy, I can try to reach you so we can 
meet. If you want to visit Rome, I have friends there who could probably 
show us the city around. I have an uncle living near Florence too.

I need such a sync/copy/tracking tool for Windows...

IMO making a xxcopy clone can't be that hard but of course it takes 
some time... BTW: xxcopy is sold for 40 EUR per license and it seems 
to be the only tool with such a feature set.

Aren't there unix-tools ported to windows?

MKS is one, Volker, but others, too.

but then, just REBOL is better, not so hard to make the tools better

Yes, I thought about using cygwin... would work but not an elegant 
solution for such a "simple" problem.

Is there a way to type in an expression into Visual-Basic-Editor 
in Excel to get it evaluated? Something like the console in Rebol?

Robert, I don't understand exactly what feature(s) you are looking 
for.  If you can explain to me, I can tell you if I can do it.

ah...reading earlier messages...

OK...I understand.  Will put on my todo list ... thanks.

Has anyone thought about advertisement kiosk  network? Maybe kiosks 
are not the correct word. Let me explain. Some time ago I watched 
Scala Multimedia and how it is used, mainly in US. It can take sources 
from various parts and play them. The, when we at Xidys paid for 
one local media advertisement, it was some 5x7 cm and it costed us 
5K CZK = 218 USD. Quite a lot of money, as it was just local paper, 
issued weekly. Then I visited other town and saw one advertisement 
pannel of one computer shop, it was that typical rolled kind of equipment, 
like watching panel at airport telling when planes take-off ....

We are working on a product to compete with Scala.

Wireless Dynamic Advertising, using LCD displays.

I also found that each reality selling companies has own panels, 
just static, behind some window, mounted or wall etc. Then I got 
the idea of network of kiosks or at least LCD panels (they will be 
cheaper and cheaper), wi-fi connected. Then IOS could be used, some 
reblet produced, so that various companies could buy their advertisement 
time ...

I am glad I am not the only one thinking along the lines ...

yes, and enhanced show.r makes this an easy project to compete with 
things like Scala InfoChannel, esp. what REBOL networking does.  
 Anyway, REBOL compositing engine was originally targeted for interactive 
televesion /video.

the thing is - will it pay off? The cose of LCD, small PC, wi-fi, 
IOS ... and you need several places ....

Carl showed me once an old 486 he made do full motion, full color 
interactive television with a simple vanilla VGA card...

Depends on the target customer.

Steve: I am not sure I agree on Scala part. Until View parts are 
opened and more multimedia friendly, so better sync is possible, 
I will not use rebol for presentation. Still single Scala demo can 
cause wow effect when showing it to ppl in comparison to whatever 
else - I want smoothness, and that is unachievable using Rebol

well, then others will beat you to it.

Besides that - the question is, if using rebol for presentation is 
good thing - imagine some company will want to deliver its content 
themselves. Better let's prepare for deployment - someone will give 
you Scala presentation, someone flash one, someone .avi, etc. My 
idea is to be able to interface players (e.g. call it from shell, 
should be enough)
