Just wondering if there is a way to have an sdk app run in admin 
mode (without the user doing it)? For syncing purposes I had offered 
to auto correct time nad it worked for XP but windows 7 needs the 
app to run in admin mode ... I know it goes against the whole idea 
of security but just in case I'm missing something....

Not that I know of. Figuring out how to trigger the UAC prompt is 
on the list of things to do for the new installer though.

Yes that would work.... (Promt)

I'm lost with SDK builds for Linux. What is the difference between 
4.2 (Libc6) and 4.3 (Fedora)? Is 4.3 really Fedora-only specific?

It's just the build platform, but it may determine on what other 
systems it does and doesn't work

4.2 Should be an older Ubuntu. In theory, that should produce good 
compatibility, but View is unreliable on Fedora and other newer systems, 
hence the Fedora build

I think my own graphical Syllable Server currently needs the Fedora 
build to have reliable graphics

Do you think that it also has something to do with kernel version 
(2.4 vs 2.6)?

2.4 Is ancient now; that shouldn't play a role anymore

Ok, thanks. I think I'll stick with 4.2 for now.

Usually, versions of the GLibC C library and X11 graphics are much 
more critical than the kernel

Be sure to test the graphics parts, then

It's for Cheyenne, shouldn't matter.

Oh, right, the popup is Windows only

The older Ubuntu build is indeed best for Core compatibility

It's a tray icon ... I don't think there is a popup now in windows 
.. at least I hope not.

that caused issues for cheyenne running under core

The R3 downloads page recently got more precise about the differences 
between the various Linux versions:

4.2 - libc6 2.3
4.3 - libc6 2.5
4.4 - libc6 2.11

Graham: no more View popups.

Andreas, thanks.

Here is a code snippet 
works in the console, 
fails after compile:
version 2.7.6
--------------------------
REBOL [ ]

   errorMailHeader: make system/standard/email [subject: "test error"]
   errorText: "this is an error"
   emailAddress: "[ben-:-someplace-:-com]"
   emailAddress: to-email emailAddress

   send/header emailAddress errorText errorMailHeader
--------------------------
after compile says:
** Script Error: send has no value
** Near: send/header [ben-:-someplace-:-com]" errorText errorMailHeader

any thoughts???

The SEND function is defined in the %prot-send.r file, so I guess, 
that you did not include that file when building the program

(you should probably include the %prot.r file to have all the protocols 
you might need)

Did you read the SDK documentation how to do it?

don't know where the SDK docs are.  I ususally just use the viewtop 
to do most everything

found prot-send.r

You get the docs with the SDK

know the path?

I doubt it is so large you don't find it

The SDK docs are online here too: http://www.rebol.com/docs/sdkug.html

Yes, that is an alternative way

http://www.rebol.com/docs/sdk/sdkintro.html

The standard REBOL SDK includes these files.

how funny - wasn't looking high enough in the tree.  I've been using 
that tree structure for so long that it became transparent over the 
past couple of years.

there is no rebol/command version for mac?

Can anyone help me with this. I am using Ubuntu. I would like to 
use SSL & TLS.


I thought Rebol could use SSL & TLS. I have SDK for Linux & Windows 
(with licenses). But when I try the following on rebcmdview or rebcmd:

>> port: open/direct tls://myhost.example.com:5555

followed by

>> set-modes port [secure: true]

I get the this:

>> port: open/direct tls://myhost.example.com:5555
>> set-modes port [secure: true]
** Script Error: Feature not available in this REBOL
** Where: halt-view
** Near: set-modes port [secure: true]

Any help would be appleciated?

I am using rebcmdview 2.7.6.4.2

tls is not available

use ssl

Thanks Graham. Do you have a copy of send-gmail.r laying around by 
any chance? I am trying to get Rebol to make an SSL connection.

Dunno why the VM is so slow ...it's not loaded

Is there an easy way to read a parameter from the command line?  
I want to display the build history if a person types something like: 
 my.exe -version
thanks in advance

Ironically, all it seems I have to do is post a question somewhere 
and then I find the answer on the internet.  I've been trying to 
figure that out for several days off and on.  Post the question, 
go back to the internet and then find the answer.  
Here it is:  system/script/args
its a string.
hope this helps someone else.

solution to this is to ask the question and then not go search the 
internet :)

system/script/args is a string. system/options/args is a block (or 
none).

hahah I didn't even know about   system/options/args

Hi guys, I have a question. I'm trying to use the Windows SDK with 
Wine on a linux computer. I get the following error message: "***ERROR 
(enter-data.r): File not found: /home/lat/r/sdk-w/mezz.r".  But that 
is the correct path to the file. So what is wrong?

That's a Linux path, so it probably doesn't work in the WINE environment

Kaj, thanks! I should have realized that obvious fact.

Kaj, thanks again. With your help I got it to work.
