World: r3wp

can add it to the spec

I've updated my effort again ... http://rebol.wik.is/Rebol3/Schemes/Daytime

the data is returned deep inside the port object

weird !

The open function must not return the tcp port, but the fake daytime 
port.

Because if someone try to thing like this. 
>> port: open daytime://...
then 

>> read port ; ==> the wrong actor is called (not the daytime one).

it may work currently, because you didn"t add other behavior in the 
read actor, but it's just fluke

brian: there is no link to wetan, it is in the r3-alpha file share.

(graham's link above is not complete. there are a few pieces missing, 
and they are missing because the code, even tough it works, is crap 
:)

documentation in the code itself using comments

 - that only works in very simple cases. I did the network detective 
 like that...

Maxim: sorry, I don't understand your point. the code is not available 
to us, so only Carl can write the basic docs...

Steve ...good point.

Steeve ...

they can do ..

port: open daytime://
wait port 

:)

I've logged onto r3 chat a few times .. seems dead to me.

dead? it works, but noone is posting, no?

or you mean dead by activity?

dead as in dead quiet

it is dead because all R3 dev. activity is stalled ....

It is also quite hard to cut and paste as the console doesn't support 
it ..except as a dos console

Have to use the clipboard to transfer stuff to and from the r3 alpha 
console

yes, console under Windows is really bad ... also no multiline support 
for REBOL code ...

Is it better under linux?

don't know ...

Not much.

If you want to suggest a plan for better console, please do.

It would not require much on the reblib side to support a console 
-- most of the code is on the host side.

R2 console code is not reusable?

The necessary reblib calls would be for things like word completion, 
since the symbol table is internal to the lib.

ditto

R2 could be used... but, I had "imagined" there were better packages 
that we could use and get a full featured console.

well I don't use word completion ... didn't even know it existed 
for files

Le's be practical and reuse R2

Is that the most practical?  What ever happened to operating systems 
that provide a real console lib?

the most practical is to make it usable for users and optimize later 
on

Certainly, we can use our 1998ish console code to start. But, seems 
a bit backward.

lacking cut and paste as now is somewhat even more backward!

Feels like the original console of 1998 which also lacked cut and 
paste if  I recall correctly

What, you can't write everything in one line?

hehe

uhuh

writing a scheme in one line ... nope

and what about a graphic console (with gobs) ?

You paste schemes?!

you're being silly

S: that was my goal.

I'm responding the same

C: I have, for testing, it worked very well in R2

Actually I was trying to paste in your code samples from the wiki 
...

you need to reformat them all as one liners

lol

Yes, I have same issue on bug testing from curecode.
