I fnid that only 1 /core binary from Jan 2005 uses async .no further 
involvement in other /core binary's ?

Which Carl's blog entry are you talking about ?

As far as I know, the new async core was tested and then removed 
before View 1.3 and hasn't come back yet.

(We still have async modes available in the old core.) Check this 
document I made when the issue was hot:

http://www.lexicon.net/antonr/rebol/doc/ASYNC-The-available-implementations.txt

As far as I know, the async model was only present in one single 
alpha version of Core that came out in late 2004. Due to design flaws 
in this model, the async kernel was not used in 1.3.

aaa oke a flaw... Right thanks for the info

aa thanks anton..

I found thisone... pritty intresting although only for that specific 
/core... (http://www.rebol.net/docs/async-ports.html)

It was not so much that there was flaw. But that it introduced a 
new set of issues on how to create programs that behave correctly. 
Because the async mode could interrupt any excuting sequence.

And because there were so many other bugs in the core. The decision 
was to fix to bugs, and have a stable version that have nail as many 
as possible before introducing the async event model.

I got some good info from Antons page, great summary anton thanks... 
I think I know what to do now ;-)

On antons page was an issue regarding 'TRAY ..man o man..have I seached 
long for that info ;-) finaly found it too!!! great !!!

Rebolinth, glad you found it useful. I don't understand what the 
'TRAY issue was, though.

What is 'tray?

systray.. ;-) putting rebol in the systray...

has anynoe an example on how to alpha-blend the main rebol/view window 
using MS-windows ? Is that possible at all ?

ah ok.. but didn't find "tray" on my page... ?

Possible on WinXP (and 2000 I think), yes.

can't find an example right now... but better to ask in the "Windows" 
group...

no..no... I found it on your page ;-) its in your system-modes document..

Ok, cool. :)

What could cause font script(encoding) change from f.ex. baltics 
to western  when downloading and running scripts on other computer.

In this case I am getting language specific symbols displayed like 
the font encoding scipt is Western while I need Baltics.

At the same time I had no problem, when I called the same layout 
script in office.
Problem appears when I am at home connected to office via VPN.
Rebol view console font encoding script is set to Baltics.

missing font?

Is there anything I can do about the "no 'wait in view handlers" 

I try to use an sqlite call in a button, but sqlite uses wait internally 
...

a few nested waits are usually no problem. maybe
sqliting?: false
..
button [

 either sqliting?[alert "sqliting already"][sqliting?: true sqlite 
 sqliting?: false]
]
;if your user clicks very fast.

hmm, the alert adds another wait, view/new?

My script looks like this

view layout [
   title "Address"
   across
   name-list: list 300x400 [
      text bold 400 [

         person-info: first sql rejoin [{select * from person where guid like 
         "%} face/user-data {%";} ]

         ;person-info: ["1" "ingo" "hohmann" "static test" "" "" ""]
         vals: get person-disp

         repeat i length? person-info [insert clear vals/:i person-info/:i]
         show w
      ]
   ]
   supply [
      count: count + cnt
      face/color: ivory
      face/text: none
      if even? count [face/color: ivory - 50.50.50]
      if none? v: pick list-data count [exit]
      face/text: reform [pick v 4 "-" pick v 2 pick v 3]
      face/user-data: pick v 1
   ]
   sld: slider 16x400 [
      c: max 0 to-integer (length? list-data) * value
      if c <> cnt [cnt: c show name-list]
   ]
   w: box 400x400 with [pane: layout address/make-person-lay]
]


If I click on a list entry, it's like all other entries are removed 
from the list. Wherever I click I always get the same entry, if I 
move the mouse over the list, all other lines are emptied when the 
mouse moves over them.
Using the static test-data everything warks fine

I don't think this is an sql problem, but a list problem.

(and also not a problem of WAIT)

I suspect your INSERT CLEAR may be causing a problem.

What's person-disp ?

person-disp is an object, which contains the strings to be displayed 
in my layout.

Ok.

I get data from the database, copy it into person-disp.

with doing clear insert  the string keeps bound to the layout

I now don't think that's where the problem is occurring. Will make 
a stripped down list.

I just tried adding a wait in there, and it still works. So you are 
right, it's not the wait ...

It's a string copying issue somewhere.

What happens when you copy/deep person-info ? eg.  person-info: copy/deep 
first sql ....

I couldn't reproduce the problem with this:

list-data: [
	["" "hello"]
	["" "there"]
	["" "Ingo"]
	["" "Hohmann"]
]
cnt: 0
view layout [
   title "Address"
   across
   name-list: list 300x400 [
      text bold 400 [

         ;person-info: first sql rejoin [{select * from person where guid 
         like "%} face/user-data {%";} ]

         ;person-info: ["1" "ingo" "hohmann" "static test" "" "" ""]
         ;vals: get person-disp

         ;repeat i length? person-info [insert clear vals/:i person-info/:i]
         ;show w
      ]
   ]
   supply [
      count: count + cnt
      face/color: ivory
      face/text: none
      if even? count [face/color: ivory - 50.50.50]
      if none? v: pick list-data count [exit]
      face/text: reform [pick v 4 "-" pick v 2 pick v 3]
      face/user-data: pick v 1
   ]
   sld: slider 16x400 [
      c: max 0 to-integer (length? list-data) * value
      if c <> cnt [cnt: c show name-list]
   ]
   ;w: box 400x400 with [pane: layout address/make-person-lay]
]

So the problem must occur in the commented sections somewhere.

The same as without copy/deep.

It only occurs when I use the call to sql. And it occurs even if 
I don't use the data returned, e.g. if I add the static data in the 
second person-info: [] line.

How the Rebol uses default fonts for f.ex. buttons?

are you trying to change the font?

I am trying to understand why my font encodings is diffrent on my 
job laptop and on my home desktop. Both have the same OS - WinXP. 
Rebol script is the same sitting on the webserver. I did not specified 
any specific font in my script.

I did not find yet anything in docs about what is responsible for 
font encoding.

What I found with AnaMonitor is that arial font is used. 

But it seams that problem is not there. I just downloded that script 
localy and it looks like encoding is changed in script by downloading 
but not font encoding paramer !?

But why it changes when I am downloading to my desktop but not -when 
to my laptop?

O'k I found it - and of course it was not a problem in Rebol.

Somehow I had changed setting Language for non-Unicode programs in 
Regional and Language options Advanced tab.

Is there a default uptodate MS-Windows /VID somewhere for view? I 
want to skin /view to be MSWindows.. I know there was once a windows 
skin but was it Win95?

a bug? view layout [ch: choice 100 "a" "b" "c"  btn "zmen" [set-face
