Visit  http://www.TGD-Consulting.de/Download.htmland take a look 
at

the final release of Hex-It!. (I posted on behalf of Dirk Weyand, 
since he cannot reach AltME)


Hex-It! is a small but powerful hex-editor. You can use this tool 
to analyse
or alter the "fingerprints" for any kind of files.

Known first as a contribution to the REBOL Demo 2006 contest, the 
final
release with enhanced features is available now.
Features of Hex-It! v1.2.0:
---------------------------
* cross platform hex-editor

* free "save-feature" for small files sized lesser 15 KB, to edit 
larger
  files purchase a license-key that unlocks this limitation
* enhanced spot navigation with mouse scroll-wheel support
* non blocking file access 

* support of large files (a maximum chunk of 1MB file-data is only 
held in
  memory at once)
Some notes and useful tips & tricks on the usage of Hex-It!:
------------------------------------------------------------

- Modifications of files were automatically saved on exit, if you 
load

another file or if a different chunk of the same file is selected.
- Byte selection:

  + Select a byte with a left mouse button (LMB) click on the hexadecimal
    values to the left. The byte is highlighted then.

  + If a byte is selected, either use the cursor keys or the scroll-wheel 
  of
    the mouse to scroll through the bytes of the file.

  + Change a selected byte with plus (+) & minus (-) or just enter 
  its

    new value. Single characters, three digit numbers or single hexadecimal
    values are valid.

  + Use the right mouse button (RMB) to deselect a highlighted byte.
- Spot-navigation:

  + The spot specifies the index/position of a byte in the file. If 
  no byte

    is selected it shows the position of the top left byte displayed. 
  + Enter a number to set directly the spot to a byte-position.

  + Skip a certain amount of bytes relative to the current spot by 
  using

    plus (+) & minus (-), e.g. "+10000" skips 10000 bytes forward and
    "-1000" skips 1000 bytes backwards. 

  + Skip to end of file: Click with the RMB on the arrow-down Spot-button
    or use the "End"-Key.

  + Skip to first byte of file: Click with the RMB on the arrow-up
    Spot-button or use the "Home"-Key. 
- Seek:
  + ASCII- or Hex-Strings are valid queries.

  + LMB click on the "Seek"-button seeks from the current position.

  + RMB click on the "Seek"-button seeks from the beginning of the 
  file.

Please note, that the license of this release is not BSD like anymore.

SURFnet Detective version 3 "soft launch"  on http://detective.surfnet.nl/en/index_en.html

Let me know if you like it (private), what your experiences are (especially 
on Linux). Note that the sourcecode is published!

If you like it, pass it around to all your friends that have networking 
problems. That's what it's for!

And if you want a co-branded Detective, let *me* know: there is a 
free builder portal for that as well.

is a wrapper around Anton's batch download script.  It reads a configuration 
file(s) from a site and loads the data into the script.

This is as: file description url and then extended file description.

Defaults are embedded into the script and are used if the read fails.
You can use it to download iso files etc.

Any urls in the extended file description are clickable.

Thanks, you identified a problem with my ftp send-to utility!

Also, I think I may have uploaded the wrong version, make sure you 
have 0.9.2.

BTW: fixed my ftp send-to utility, so make sure to use the lowercase 
link!

Cool Ryan. Thansk for posting that!

usage

http://krutek.info/rebol/hardcode.zip- This is first version of 
Search'n'replace-kind of utility. Please, let me know what do you 
think about it.

some motivation for faster view. preview, installation is somewhat 
complicated, and the (few) texts  still german. http://polly.rebol.it/test/test/game/run.r

run the script. it needs some mb  sprites, which i get from another 
website. http://reinerstileset.4players.de/T_dino_green.zipand http://reinerstileset.4players.de/Tblue knight.zip 
.

when you run it, it makes a %sprites/ - folder in its dir. unzip 
the sprites in folders, %T_dino_green.zip in T_dino_green/ etc. and 
put these folders in the %sprites/-folder .

click "zum spiel" and avoid the dino.. (or, ctrl+cursor  swings sword 
:)

Rebolweek blog nice to see it there!!


I wonder why at the top it says May 15, when there are entries below 
it with newer dates? An error?

It says that because that is the date the original entry was created. 
 We created a few blank records and update them at the right week. 
I guess we should look at the template and remove that information.

A few announcements...

If you have wrist issues from using the mouse, try Joystick Navigator 
(windows). No rebol inside, but it may help make more rebol software.

btw, I have a patch for sending html emails. Its pretty rough at 
this point, so contact me if you must have it.

Standalone VPRINT (verbose print)  implementation released on rebol.org. 
 This is the most advanced output/logging management utility for 
REBOL AFAIK.


features:  Extremely easy to setup and use (direct drop-in equivalent 
Print/Prin/probe/??  implemented ... even in logs :-),   hierarchical 
nesting of any output (tracing),  transparent logging,  on-the-fly 
selection of output,  "allow and deny"  any combination of individual 
tags to be output/logged ,   postponed output buffer for tight loops 
(not implemented for log). 

BSD license.


Instead of using pre-defined "levels" of verbosity, you associate 
individual print statements with (one or more) conceptual tags.  
Then you can programatically switch the desired output tags on the 
fly.  Effectively allowing only one function or a whole group of 
them to be displayed OR logged with one setup call when they are 
next encountered.    


The logging tag selections are independent from the console output 
so you can choose to display more or less of what you log out.  In 
fact, you can even log different output than what is printed.


This tool is not beta, it is being used in commercial environment. 
 It is very stable AFAIK and fully-featured.

New installement of "The REBOL Week" available.   A LOT happening, 
and a fresh new layout.   :-)

post wrongly again.

meant for REBOLWeek tracking.

Mailing List Archive tagging project has reached a major milestone:

Get a parse tree result from Parse

For fans of REBOL's Parse function, it could be particularly useful 
used with Gabriele's Rewrite function.

First public beta version of Sintezar PM-101, The Digital Phase Distortion 
Synthesizer has been released. See http://www.rebol.org/cgi-bin/cgiwrap/rebol/view-script.r?script=pm-101.r
(please reply to Sound group, thanks).

First release of  COMLib-anton    (Benjamin Maggi's COMLib, reengineered)
http://home.wilddsl.net.au/anton/rebol/os/windows/COMLib/

It is my pleasure to announce, that Cyphre was contracted to bring 
what I regard latest limiting factor for RebGUI database experience 
- a grid. The grid should support following features - visible/non-visible 
columns, both vertical/horizontal scrolling, keyboard support, programmable 
navigation, tri-state columns sorting, possibility to put other styles 
in cells. Expect it being in the middle of capabilities of RebGUI 
table, and Henrik's grid. The grid should be also easily portable 
to VID. The license - BSD.


Other things Cyphre will look into with regards to Rebgui is, how 
to make RebGUI a bit more pretty, centralising other things or simply 
allowing gradients for tabs etc. That is subject to change.


On non RebGUI front, we should have better sys-tray support under 
Windows, probably via .dll ....

The time-frame is three weeks from today. Stay tuned!

Good news!

Anton...Incredible. Thanks for this.

Very good!   Also, if Cyphre can work with us on R2 update, we can 
add those systray features native.

(To prevent requirement of DLLfor systray  if possible.)

Yes, that would be great.

Fix for MySQL driver released today (v1.0.7):


 o Fixes a comptability issue in handshaking with new servers using 
 old passwords format.

See http://www.softinnov.org/rebol/mysql.shtml

That's amazing.  Thanks Dockimbel.
