The only thing I ask is that if you use it and find a data recovery 
utility that can recover any of the data, please let me know.  I'd 
like to know what parameters you used to clean the drive, what utility 
you used to recover the data, and the condition of the recovered 
data.

I'm looking forward to encap based off View1.3 now, as I had to make 
some modifications to make it work with my older version of Encap.

Be aware, if you have a lot of free space on the media (i.e. dozens 
of gigabytes), it could take quite some time to complete.

The way it works is it overwrites all the free space on the disk 
with different binary patterns.  It will not affect your active files, 
except possibly if there is a problem with the directory structure 
of your filesystem.  Therefore, it is suggested to run Scandisk or 
Chkdsk to correct any directory structure problems first.


Obviously, this program is written to run on Windows and will not 
work on other operating systems at this time.

For anyone reading this on AltWeb, please email me at [LTC-:-sonic-:-net] 
with your findings.  Thanks!

Cool.

I wrote the program totally pro bono for a client who wants to donate 
a computer that had sensitive information on it to an underpriviledged 
school child, but I want to make sure the data is totally unrecoverable.

sorry

Bo, see if Steve Gibson will do a test for you. http://grc.com.

My X Internet talk went well last night, lots of enthusiasm by IT 
professionals there.  Might even have snagged a sizeable government 
project which needs technical guidance...you never know who's listening...;-) 
 (I will be out of socket till Sunday, for some R&R (REBOL and Relaxation 
is what that means)

MACOSX  REBOL/VIEW AVAILABLE !!! http://www.rebol.net/builds/024/rebview1300124b

...in early Alpha stage (for now)

so test it send bugs report to rambo and we will get a pretty good 
version

It's yet very good to have a working alpha version for MacOSX after 
only 1 month of the Win32 1.3  stable release. Even in the 1.3 stable 
version for win 32  we have remaining bugs like agg matrix key word 
or gradient effect converion from SVG

post comments in ann-reply, please, not probably here? :-)

Rebol View 1.3 for Linux was just released ....

Pekr:can you give the url, I could not find on download. Thanks !

http://www.rebol.net/builds/042/

thanks !

1.3 Linux BETA was released. I imagine the release will take a while 
b/c AGG fonts under Linux

Well, a bit OT but the right group anyway: This week I got the info 
I will become father :-)))

Wahoo!

congradulations Robert

Congrats Robert!!!

Congratulations Robert!

congrats to your wife robert!

:)

congratulations to both of you =) life IS SWEET !

A REBOL VM or "what I did on my summer vacation":
http://www.rebol.net/article/0196.html

congratulations to all 3 of you, Robert!

sorry carl i think vacations are just hiking around the mountains 
or relaxing along the beach =) and yes i think everybody deserves 
some time off even CEO's.

vacation? what's that?

Vacation is the lifetime, when you are allowed to go your job tasks 
as a hobby :-)

go=do .... ah, wrong group ...

Ahh yes Henrik welcome to my world...vacation is in reality  a non 
exsiting word for some of us =(

Thanks to all of you.

Graham, I'm not married ;-)) (yet) but step-by-step.

Active Viewtop ...
I have added some "activity" to the viewtop ...
- index.r files may be 'COMPOSEd before being displayed

- added 'actions to index.r: they have a block which will be 'DOne 
on click

- added groups to group viewtop icons (group effects are possible)

- added the possibility to split the viewtop, so you can have a view 
script on the right half of the viewtop, e.g. to display a clock, 
calendar, ....

All batteries and some examples are included.
Based on 1.3.1 viewtop code.
Tested on /View 1.3.1.3.1 (WinXP).

Sorry, this will open a LOT of security holes, so you should _really_ 
think about whether you want to use it.
I think all places I changed are flagged with (iho)


and finally, here is the link: http://www.h-o-h.org/active-viewtop.r

Have fun!

Sept 1 has been designated as a "don't buy a drop of gas" day as 
a protest, passing this on...

Darn, I won't be able to protest. Never buy gas :-)

Protest about what?

gas prices? =/

Images from Apollo Missions


The talk about language niches and "Lightweight distributed computing" 
in the "Io" group made me remember a REBOL program, I did last year. 
It takes images from www.apolloarchive.com and present them in a 
REBOL program, where it's possible to zoom, change light and contrast 
and others. Get it here:
http://home.tiscali.dk/john.niclasen/apollo.zip


First run the script "makeidx.r", which will build image indexes. 
Wait until files from "apidx_11" to "apidx_17_b" are build. Then 
run the program "apollo.r". Instructions in the first window. It 
takes time to get thumbs and images the first time, and the program 
doesn't have a load indicator, so be patience and wait for window 
to open after activating a control. It's possible to swtich between 
windows.

Have fun!

in case you missed it, OpenBSD and Linux versions of Rebol/Core with 
/seek are also out: http://ww.rebol.net/builds/

This might be a stretch, a leap of faith or something that may fail 
or not. I've made an entry in Wikibooks for REBOL, which basically 
allows anyone to write a book about REBOL. There are books on many 
other languages on the site and I thought that this could give REBOL 
two things: 1. A book and 2. Exposure.


Start your text editors at this address: http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Programming:REBOL

A new version of The Rebol Directory Project is available. Amongst 
other thing, I integrated Make-Doc-Pro to FastMagic! (see the Description 
section of the Projects tab). This version of Rebol Directory Project 
allowed me to finalize FastMagic! and now handles login, security 
check (no one can modify the profile of other etc...) I am waiting 
for your input and encourage you to register to be listed in the 
RDirP...

To register, go to yje login screen

zlib compressor/decompressor using zlib.dll (version 1.2.3)
  http://box.lebeda.ws/~hmm/rebol/zlib_latest.rip
and you will need this Ladislavs' script as well:
  http://box.lebeda.ws/~hmm/rebol/memory-tools_latest.rip

New editor that support REBOL  colored syntax file. This sofware 
is SCITE 1.66 for linux and windows by default REBOL support is not 
activated. edit /usr/share/scite/ScitEGlobal.properties file ( MenuBar 
Options >  Open Global options File) search the line "#import rebol.porperties" 
and remove "#". Save changes (SCITE must be launched from a root 
terminal.) then edit /usr/src/rebol.properties file. Go to the last 
line of this file and set the proper path to your predered rebol 
VM version in the  command.go.($file.patterns.rebol)=....  Save the 
rebol.properties file ( this file can be located from Menubar Options>Edit 
properties>open rebol.properties). Once you make all those changes 
you are able to see rebol color syntax for your beloved rebol scripts.

the scripts are launched into the rebol VM hitting F5 key in SCITE. 
You will notice that the color syntaxe is very more advanced than 
the Crimson Editor one. And you have the  ability to hide the functions/objects 
inside code to make easier to read the script code.

Well this is the concret sign that REBOL  is being more and more 
considered in computing world. This is a good thing and a good reward 
for RT hard work.

for ppl that want even better syntaxe colorization for SCITE http://shadwolf.free.fr/SciTEGlobal.properties
