World: r3wp

blocks
 of data ? ;-)

eFishAnt, where is this spreadsheet contest described?

my scrollable 300000 cell table face might be easy to adapt...  ;-)

Brian, trim works in-situ

battery-file: to-file join battery-dir [ battery "state" ]

seems incorrect

copy value to end (trim value)


I always have problems with these types of statements in real world 
data, cause if 'value becomes none, then 'trim will throw a wobbly

all [value trim value]

Oh I see what you're talking about. Yes, nice article, Brian. :) 
That must be very helpful documentation for beginners.

Thanks. From a beginner, for beginners :-)

Graham - What is a better way to create the battery-file filename?

Maxim: Spreadsheet  and/or Announce....just make a spreadsheet for 
nano-sheets.r from article, and winner gets $50 prize.

Brian, my first take on this was that [ battery ... ] would not be 
evaluated , but I see it is.

I think if I were to rewrite I would use 'rejoin instead.


Still, it's sort of a marker of my knowledge right now. I want to 
let it simmer for a bit before I go in and start trouching it up.

well, if you did this

battery-file: join battery-dir join battery "state"

you wouldn't need the 'to-file

Actually, I don't think I need 'to-file in the first place.

also, likewise with rejoin [ battery-dir battery "state" ]

Okay, i went ahead and changed "to-file join ..." to "rejoin [ ..."


Also threw in a little check for zero bit in calculating remaining 
time.

It'll go up in the next upload of the site.

I think sound is now free in the free versions.

sound and call both are, aren't they? I'm not sure, so I just wanted 
to start with what I knew from rebol.com and the reboltalk forum

not sure about 'call ...

RT should certainly get around to mentioning that these run on Windows 
XP, and not just 2000

'call is available from View 1.2.11, but I don't know if it's not 
just for beta-testing, and if it will be free in next official version

and if you want 'call from core, you need r/command.

this page should give you that overview : http://www.rebol.com/purchase.html

I wonder if that upgrade price from View/Pro to SDK is correct.  
The price for View/Pro used to be $49, and perhaps they didn't reduce 
the upgrade price when they increased the price to $99...

odd pricing ... View/Pro ( $99) + upgrade to SDK ($199) = $298 + 
upgrade to command/sdk ($199) = $497

but start from Command ($349) + upgrade to command/sdk ($199) = $548

Looks like you're penalised if you start from R/Command.

Graham, the overview was mainly so I had a single page linking to 
documentation :-)

http://www.rebol.com/purchase.htmlgives you links to datasheets 
on each product

I meant links to the docs (Library docs, Sound docs, call docs, encryption 
docs)

oy. Or I could have just scrolled down the page on http://www.rebol.com/docs-view.html

I am very silly sometimes.

Volker, is that spell check different from the one on developer ?

No, only more public.

ah... wonderful news to wake up to :-)

I heard somewhere that REBOL LNS takes up 24 kb of source code

is that true?

Well, I am not sure how well RT did their homework? ;-) Users asked 
to coordinate PR activity, LNS announced, /Coop only planned, no 
real stuff to try and links on announcement page are broken, oh my 
;-)

yeah, you can say that again :-)

posted in bold ... as I think about it, someone should try to call 
RT and notify them of broken links before Carl leaves on trip, or 
the announcement is not usable ...

what broken link ?

all links ... on the left side ...

go to rebol.com announcement page ...

Ahh... all in the wrong directory

If that will not be corrected it is "a bit" weird to spread announcement 
around ...

I don't really understand why Carl can't stay connected no matter 
when he is ... it's just a question of either a laptop with roaming 
services, or, an internet cafe.  I see that the pages now have a 
[edit] link on the bottom too.

I imagine it's a "choice" to be offline. I know how *my* wife feels 
about things like that. :-)

24 kb of source code?  Wow - thats technically very impressive, but 
it doesnt help in marketing when you compare a .NET install of 1 
CD or Visual Studio .NET 3CDs and about 40 minutes of effort. Perhaps 
RT needs to pad it out to give it that weight of credibility.

I don't know if it's true, I think I read it somewhere. I can't remember 
if it was here or somwhere else, but Carl did say something about 
the size of it
