Lutz, Now I found another issue but I also found the cause. It seems that your change in (ends-with) crashes newlisp when calling this line from a program: (ends-with "newlisp" "LISP" nil) However, running in interactive mode, this line work well. But running from a program with shebang "#!/usr/bin/...

Thanks, this works now! The (rand) function is surviving the test. One remarks though:

1) There is still a redefinition in 'newlisp.h' of RAND_MAX at line 99-101, can you remove it?

Thanks!

Peter

Well I am not using it yet, but I find this idea really useful! In the past I did a lot of things with VBscript, it is cool that it can be embedded in newLisp now.

In the headerfile 'stdlib.h' on Tru64Unix I see this: #ifdef _BSD #define RAND_MAX 2147483647 /* max value returned by rand */ #else #define RAND_MAX 32767 /* max value returned by rand */ #endif Now, if I add -D_BSD to the makefile, and recompile, I get this: [peter@olga]# make ./build Discovered T...

Thanks, please make sure the redefinition occurs AFTER the '#include <stdio>' statement. Compilation becomes very ugly but it works correct now: cc -ieee -pedantic -c -O3 -DSOLARIS -DTRU64 -DNEWLISP64 -D_POSIX_PII_SOCKET newlisp.c cc: Warning: newlisp.h, line 478: The redefinition of the macro "RAND...

Hi Lutz, Thanks for the reply. This is the result of your code: [peter@olga]# ./newlisp newLISP v.9.2.10 64-bit on Tru64Unix, execute 'newlisp -h' for more info. > (rand 2) scale=2.000000 testRand=2078917053 RAND_MAX=32767 scale * testRand=4157834106.000000 8747 Hope it helps...? Maybe the variable ...

Phew found the cause. The value of RAND_MAX is different in Linux and Tru64Unix.

Linux:
RAND_MAX = 2147483647

Tru64Unix:
RAND_MAX = 32767


Therefore the result of the calculation ((scale * random())/(RAND_MAX - 1)) is much higher. And the test for (rand) fails.

Hi, In the release notes of 9.2.10 I see the following: On Win32 function 'directory?' now will accept training slahes '\' or '/' before it would always fails on trailing slashes If I test it: c:\Scripts>newlisp newLISP v.9.2.10 on Win32, execute 'newlisp -h' for more info. > (directory? "c:\\temp")...

The (rand) test fails because of this: newLISP v.9.2.10 64-bit on Tru64Unix, execute 'newlisp -h' for more info. > (set 'sum 0) 0 > (dotimes (x 1000)(inc 'sum (rand 2))) 65385830 > (and (<sum> sum 400)(list?

This release compiles fine in Tru64 5.x but on 4.x I see the following (minor) issues: Discovered Tru64 Unix, please read doc/TRU64BUILD cc -ieee -pedantic -c -O3 -DSOLARIS -DTRU64 -DNEWLISP64 -D_POSIX_PII_SOCKET newlisp.c cc -ieee -pedantic -c -O3 -DSOLARIS -DTRU64 -DNEWLISP64 -D_POSIX_PII_SOCKET n...

You are right, and if it is not a bug, at least it is inconcistent:

> (starts-with "12345" "1|2" 1)
true
> (starts-with "12345" "2|1" 1)
true
> (ends-with "12345" "5|4" 1)
true
> (ends-with "12345" "4|5" 1)
nil

So indeed (starts-with) is working correctly.

Hi, The other day I was stumbling into this problem (and newdep: yes I've read the manual now :-) ) newLISP v.9.2.10 on Linux, execute 'newlisp -h' for more info. > (set 'S "abc.def.ghi") "abc.def.ghi" > (ends-with S "ghi" 1) true > (ends-with S "def|ghi" 1) nil > As is visible from above, I try to ...

For Win32 users I made a ZIP package with the full application. Installation: 1) Install a GTK Runtime Environment from here or here (either one will do). 2) Unzip the ZIP file in a directory of your choice. It is assumed you have the newlisp binary in your PATH, and if not, copy it to the same dire...

You have to admit that's the best "something's wrong" post ever, no matter what the problem is... That's true! I fully agree :-) Lets just hope then one day GTK offers binaries for OS X, just like they do for Windows. Indeed, I hope so too... as soon as it happens I'll support MacOSX as well. Cheer...

Runs in Unix/Linux/Win32. I do not own a Mac so I cannot support MacOSX.... sorry! If you want me to support MacOSX, please donate €600,= so I can buy one :-) From your error it seems newLisp is unable to load the GTK-server DLL. Did you compile it from scratch? It should be possible to run GTK on ...

Folks, It's time for my contribution: a comicbook reader. It is able to handle .cbr, .cbz and .rar formats, reads JPG, PNG and GIF files. Written with GTK-server because I am porting the newlisp code to another language as well. Runs in Unix/Linux/Win32. Users of the infamous Win32 platform need to ...

Thanks, but unfortunately it is not that easy in my program :-(

...which is my contribution for the contest, by the way ;-)

Oops I overlooked that... creating my sources in Linux, and after that running in Windows, but never looking into the manual again because it is working in Linux, right? ;-) Anyway, this situation causes the code to be less portable. So in a Win32 situation, you always have to explicitly add a "/" b...

Your examples do not use actual directories...

c:\Scripts>newlisp
newLISP v.9.2.0 on Win32, execute 'newlisp -h' for more info.

> (directory? "c:/")
true
> (directory? "c:/temp")
true
> (directory? "c:/temp/")
nil
>

Why?

Hi, In Linux, this code works: newLISP v.9.2.0 on Linux, execute 'newlisp -h' for more info. > (directory? "/tmp") true > (directory? "/tmp/") true However, in Win32 we see this: newLISP v.9.2.0 on Win32, execute 'newlisp -h' for more info. > (directory? "C:\\Temp") true > (directory? "C:\\Temp\\") ...

...but the wildcard is more easy.

Hi,

It seems that this code is not working:

> (delete-file "somedir/*.*")
nil

Why not? Do I first have to setup a list of files in that directory, and then walk through that list to delete them one-by-one...? :-(

For all language geeks

Well, I am such a geek... interesting book! Thanks!

Hi gloodnc, Well, by default gVim for Windows uses an external CMD window to run a newLisp program. I guess you need to recompile gVim in Windows to get a different functionality, if this is possible at all. Unfortunately I do all my work in Unix- and Linux based environments, so I cannot check it f...

It took some time but it is here: the SETLD installpackage of newLisp 9.2 for Tru64Unix.

I have left out all guiserver stuff, as Tru64Unix 4.0f uses Java 1.1.7b and Tru64Unix 5.1 uses Java 1.3.1.

It can be downloaded from here:
