World: r3wp

Of course, if that's all you really need, then just write a do-clip 
function.

But, I suspect people want some other features, no?

who cares what others want .. this is Graham's group :)

Current OSes have console libs, but they're different depending on 
the platform

So the issue is whether to standardise or diversify

The windows console in Windows 7 is very odd ... if you maximize 
it , it shifts to the left hand side of the screen.  Try and move 
it and is shrinks back again :(

I think that is the role of the host.  people with experience in 
OS specific console code should adapt their host code to use it.

the dos shell does the same

ah, so no progress there from win95.

Amazing how multibillion dollar companies don't maintain basic utilities.

so, if you want to read the examples on a web page ( usuaally placed 
on the left ) and have an maximized console open .. you can't see 
both

As long as there's no meaningful competition...

Luckily my secondary LCD screen has arrived now ...

Rich organisations and people are rich, for one reason, by not spending 
it

Well, no one will reject it outright for bad console.

Graham... did you try the screen? mine works its really cool.

Yes .. I have tried it

Needs 10 points of touch to set it up corectly

Anway, we can go the custom route on the console.  But, we'll need 
help with that on Linux (whatever desktop) and OS X, etc.

yes... the basic code is there, which anyone can improve.

Carl, did you get lib loading to work properly on OSX ?

Now back to basic documentation ...  have you allocated any spare 
cycles to this?

G: yes... and more than spare cycles. But, the list is long.

note to self .. update rebolweek to say that Carl is restoring the 
1998 r1 console to R3alpha ....

Not r1. R2!

schemes would be a nice place to start .... we need to get smtp, 
and pop done.

G, that's what you just requested, wasn't it?

Ok, r2 then .. but that wasn't 1998.

true.

M: ran into holiday schedule on OS X libs.

Graham, perfect for a third party to do (and has been for about a 
year).

Bingo. Keep in mind that Gab wrote HTTP based on those wiki docs 
for scheme.

I stopped working on my C compiler during the holidays... I actually 
took real vacations this year.

And we're not Gabriele ...

Gab succeeded, but came up with a few questions on buffering.

Who's not Gabriele?

No one has written any more schemes since 2007 ... the logical conclusion 
is that the docs are lacking :)

Or, we are all lazy buggers

Ok... well... here's the plan on that.

I need to move them into the R3 docs... so I'll polish them up during 
that.

Throw in a few example schemes like finger or whois.

So mean Graham, i wrote the virtual-block scheme but it"s not a protocol

Yes, some sample simple network schemes

We will need FTP. That is going to be a pain, but someone has to 
do it.

Well, as Newton said .. got to start somewhere

Sterling Newton said that?

Man, I miss that guy.

No,  Isaac Newton

I think he phrased it .. something about standing on the shoulders 
of giants or something

Anyway, I agree with this as a priority because it allows greater 
concurrent contribution to R3 base code.
