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). :)

thx for info geomol. sounds promising.  will look out for your first 
release...

Geomol;  Your work may be the only items that show up in the February 
calendar.  Go John Go!

Geomol, that seems very interesting.

Thanks! I'm going thru the code for the relative file layer these 
days. Some of it has to be made more simple, I found. For now I check 
these changes with Martin before release.

Patrick: yes, thanks! :-) I think, I'll let the misspelling stay 
there in that doc, as it was an educational work now a bit dated.

Peter Wood.  I look forward to purchasing the book.

Congratulations Peter!

Brock: I hope that it won't take too long to finish translating the 
book. I have learnt quite a lot whilst translating it., though that 
isn't necessarly saying a lot.

Thanks, Gregg.

Peter, how many chapters are in the book?

Nice, Oldes!  Thanks.  Bye the way, what is the url for the website 
of your travels with all the widescreen photos? I want to look again.

Louis: There are seven chapters in Olivier's book. The first four 
have been translated, we are working on the fifth chapter at the 
moment.

do you mean this one? http://box.lebeda.ws/~hmm/fotky/2007-rusko/

In english http://box.lebeda.ws/~hmm/fotky/2007-rusko/index.en.html

Thanks, Peter.

Do you have more, Oldes?

yes... but not everything online

Anything you put online I would like to see.  Your websites all use 
flash, I that right?

I that right? = Is that right?

Peter/Oldes: I only saw chapters 1/2/and 4.Is 3 being ready for Lulu.com 
? I bought the 3 last night

Oldes, does it do a Clean as well on the source?

Alan: Chapter 3 is almost ready. I'm just correcting a bug with one 
of the example scripts that I introduced when I translated the 'words.


I've learnt one advantage of programming in French (or any non-English 
languauge); you are far less likely to accidentally redefine a "system" 
word.

LOL with the 10'000 post! And then a newcomer! Bah! Some people are 
just so lucky! ;-)

what's so different between 10'000 and 999 or 666 ??  Does anyone 
believe in numerology??

I'm waiting for the 10'240 th post.

9001 and 9334.   No.

Pity .. I need some advice on what lotto numbers to purchase.

Well, 8's and 9's are good.  7 is cool, 6 sucks, 5 is like kindergarten, 
4 is too small, 3 is ok as its a factor of 9, 2 is a nag, 1 is where 
it's at and 0 is not worth its own weight in gold.  So I'd go with 
642.

buy them all ... can't loose

All numbers are special to someone. But, personally, I only believe 
in numerology on odd-numbered weekdays during prime-numbered months. 
Anything else would be nonsensical :-)


The Announce group currently has 511 posts -- so one more makes for 
a nice round binary number. We could celebrate that too, once it 
happens....
