** Script Error: draw has no value
** Near: save/png img: make binary! 25000

works for me on rebcmd

>> rebol/version
== 2.6.2.3.1

Component: "Graphics" 1.3.0 (29-Nov-2005/22:18:54)
Component: "Draw System" 1.1.0 (3-Aug-2005/20:40:36)

Joe, AFAIK, core has no graphics functions

Perhaps you need rebol/command

rebol/command core seems to work

rebpro doesn't

Core has image! support, but I don't think DRAW is in there.

By the way, Joe, that should be better written:
save/png %file.png img: draw make image! 300x120 [box 10x10]

I'm wrong, I'm sorry.

Nothing wrong with what you have written.

apparently the newer rebcmd has draw, but both my linux and win versions 
don't have it. I will ask for updated versions. BTW, what is the 
latest linux rebcmd version that you have ?

No need to ask, just download them from here : http://www.rebol.net/builds/

Thanks. BTW, I checked the latest rebcmd for win and linux (2.5.125) 
and it does not include the draw function. The latest builds are 
only in the sdk (directory builds/sdk/ ) and those rebcmd there  
provide the draw function. thanks

Nice Oldes

Oldes; Nice.  So now the cheerleading is   Go Doc, Ashley, Oldes 
Go!

(for the major sub-systems I'm using).  For the rest ... don't feel 
leftout  Go rebols Go!  :)

Oldes - gif parser, cool. Never used stream-io. Hopefully DELECT 
will help with binary parser, Rebcode is still part of R3, and that 
we can start implementing media loaders/savers :-)

DELECT is not used for binary parsing, but anyway, I would like to 
see any improvements in binary parsing in R3

Sounds like good work, Oldes.

I think that we might need binary parsers, e.g. for media loaders? 
(hmm, ototh those are supposed to be done in C level?) DELECT does 
not work with binary?

DELECT just set's right order for further parsing. Just see it's 
description: "Parses a common form of dialects. Returns updated input 
block." I would like to see it in R2.

Unlike PARSE, DELECT handles unordered dialects (grammars) such as 
DRAW and VID. In such dialects the order of arguments is less important 
than their type, making them more human friendly because users don't 
need to remember the detailed order of arguments (only a rough order).

I think we don't need binary parsers on C level. We just need fast 
decoders which for example decodes binary chunk I can easily get 
from the avi file and return the image.

(i'm sure I'm not the one who want's to code video codecs in any 
language:)

thanks ALL

It's too late to go back now, it's public... :)

Awesome news, Henrik. Thanks to RT and everybody involved for all 
the hard work to get things ready for the public. I'm so excited!

Hehe, I opened 12 years Jameson and Portugal wine :-)

Strange combination

yeah, wine for my brother's wine, we guys are on whisky :-)

wine = wife

That would be quite the relationship :)

:-)

spouse = soused

btiffin: Looks like I updated Wine from the winehq site late November, 
so I've got a pretty recent version.

It works with wine 0.9.46

Has rebol.net been slashdotted? I can't even get to the blogs, let 
alone the alpha download ...

works fine here

Windows services library release: please report any bug or issue 
here : http://www.softinnov.org:8000/curecode/project.rsp?id=8

I guess that, at least, Graham and BrianH would use/test it ;-)

It covers around 95% of win32 services API, if you really need a 
feature that's missing, just ask me privately, I will consider your 
request et maybe add it in a future version.

et = and

Absolutely

Go Doc Go!

Cool Doc. Does the new NT Services utility also allow someone to 
established an external application as a service?  For example can 
I use REBOL's call function to run winword.exe?

From within a service you can call any other application using 'call, 
but remember that in order to survive to session log off, the called 
application should run without opening any window in user's desktop 
(including invisible windows too). So if the application hasn't been 
designed specifically for that, it will be killed when you log off, 
defeating the purpose of runnning it as a service. Maybe there are 
workarounds, but I didn't find any yet...

Thanks Doc.  thanks for that information Doc.

John;  Tried to post your news at 6502.org but I can't register an 
account.  I'll keep trying.

TomBon, yes we plan to test a lot on all kinds of filesystems. One 
of the good points with this DB is, that it will take advantage of 
different filesystems right away (in theory). :)
