World: r4wp

Need to clean up and properly re-integrate a few bits.

We might even get basic /View building with the open source mainline 
at the moment. Needs someone to investigate.

Ok, I just hope we weren't waiting for Carl to upload his old sources

No, certainly not.

Graham, do you see the fourth line on for example this page?

http://archives.esperconsultancy.nl/Red-test/artifact/0220fff5fad7661ca4108fc820cd09c1a6078e7d

It says "download" and "Hex". 
(had the same experience as you)

No, never noticed those.  Expected to see it below the menus.

Still doesn't help much.

Looking for a direct link that I can give someone to download the 
latest red and red/system windows binaries

It works here (MacOSX Safari). Does this link work?  

http://archives.esperconsultancy.nl/Red-test/raw/Windows/RedSystem/6502.exe?name=0220fff5fad7661ca4108fc820cd09c1a6078e7d

Yes, but that's a 6502 emulator ... not really what I want!  And 
the other thing was called "empty.exe" which doesn't seem to do anything

The Red fibonacci exe for Windows:

The other one is the empty.red that is not really exciting indeed 
:)

Fosil web interface is one of the most confusing things I've ever 
seen.

Even the Fossil itself seems upside down ;)

Maybe that's why it's called Fossil

Graham, the following might work:

Looking for a direct link that I can give someone to download the 
latest red and red/system windows binaries

People, these are all specific versions of an executable, identified 
by its hash value. One update and its not the latest anymore, so 
I never link to specific versions

The latest files (tip) are always here:

http://red.esperconsultancy.nl/Red-test/dir?ci=tip

The Windows executables are here:

http://red.esperconsultancy.nl/Red-test/dir?ci=tip&name=MSDOS

The console-pro is here:

http://red.esperconsultancy.nl/Red-test/dir?ci=tip&name=MSDOS/Red

But you need the SQLite library from the Red/System directory:

http://red.esperconsultancy.nl/Red-test/dir?ci=tip&name=MSDOS/RedSystem

Anyway, as I've announced many times, if you don't want to deal with 
the versioning system, you should just download everything in one 
package:

The following might be stable for the "latest" version of e.g. non-pro 
Win32 console:


http://red.esperconsultancy.nl/Red-test/raw/MSDOS/Red/console.exe?name=tip

That's a manifest, not an executable

Pity.

red>> print "testing"
testing"

The console is just an early version I recall

It is just a minor bug already referenced: https://github.com/dockimbel/Red/issues/383

Graham, I see you made it :-)

Yeah ... managed to download something that worked :)

Thanks for all your work on Red, Kaj!

I will have a look at this CGI capability of Red soon!

Kaj: I'm looking at your %console-pro.red script and it's really 
enjoyable for me to see all the pieces of Red programming stack put 
together and working well, at this point of the project. Kudos for 
having add script file loading to the console! :-)

Yeah, it's brilliant, the way Red blurs the lines between high level 
and low level programming, and compiling and interpreting, bringing 
them much closer together

Sorry that I continued with the primitive marshalling. I couldn't 
stop myself ;-)

Andreas, thanks for doing the rebolsource.net site. It is quite convenient.

Thanks. I'm glad you find it useful.

having implemented R3 RANDOM (D.Knuth's algorithm adapted for R3) 
I am curious how are you implementing it in Red

I'm just using the standard functions in the C library, so the details 
are up to the operating system

Most systems seem to generate 31 random bits

I'm just using the standard functions in the C library, so the details 
are up to the operating system

 - aha, so different interpreters will yield different random numbers?

Not really different interpreters; different operating systems

OK, thanks

Perhaps Arnold will come up with a custom standard generator

Sqlab, you're probably using the Red console. The interpreter doesn't 
recognise paths yet, so it can't execute functions with refinements
