I noticed some differents in memory loads with newlisp on diffrent PC. My XP-office PC running all demo.lsp shows in the taskmanager: newlisp.exe 1.868 KB newlisp-tk.exe 9.060 KB A WIN2K PRO shows newlisp.exe 2.780 KB newlisp-tk.exe 6.880 KB When I remind correctls my home-pc show even different num...

After learning about the new possibilitys I try this: (tk "zvfs::mount Dba.zip /myDba") (tk "zvfs::exists /myDba/test.txt") (tk "zvfs::info /myDba/test.txt") (tk "zvfs::filecopy /myDba/test.txt C:/temp/test1.txt") (tk "zvfs::unmount Dba.zip") It is case-sensitive, so be carefull. Zip with password i...

For me it would be not a problem, because I just start to port larger
sources to newLisp. I only had to know early where it goes. Of cource
consistents sounds always good.

But others will have more to change.

Just my 2 cents.

There comes a question up:

Is the complete wrapped EXE loaded into memory?
When I wrapp a lot of files inside the EXE will the startup slow down?
I think this is worth some tests.

Starting an empty newlisp set up 2 process with 5.75 MB and 1.85 MB.
So lets wrap!

Start thinking with the new possibilitys:

For example file checking:

(tk "file exists /freewrap/lisp/mylisp.lsp")

returns "1" when file is inside wrapped EXE "0" if not.

2 powerfull programming languages in one application combined
with a simple, but effektiv interface is really smart.

Thanks Lutz,

now it works as expected and real smart with the TK-Buffer.
Powerfull function with a lot possibilitys!

Also when I try the first hint:

set Ide(initCommand) "wm withdraw . ; NewlispEvaluate {(load \"/freewrap/lisp/mylisp.lsp\")}"

I get this:

Error sourcing /Freewrap/newlisp-tk.tcl: can not find channel named "0"

Hello Lutz, Thanks for the informations! I think it does not what I want. So look at my try: Content of /freewrap/lisp/mylisp.lsp: (Also wrapped inside a new TK-EXE) (setq hpwtest "9999") newLISP v7.2.2 Copyright (c) 2003 Lutz Mueller. All rights reserved.

Reinstalling the BWidget-dir on my home PC fixes the wrapping. Could be that I have installed the widgets which comes with TCL. The wrapping stuff is sometimes a pain, but once you get it right, its quick. Freewrap its it's own flesystem with root 'freewrap/', this means you also could wrap newLISP ...

Hello Lutz,

Is it possible to access lisp-files packed into the virtual file system
inside the packed EXE?

I know your tip with link.lsp to attach a Lisp-file, but I want to pack a large
number of files (when possible) with a directory-structure inside it and read from there?

Lutz, Thanks for the hints, I tried it on another machine and it works. Now I get 1.999 KB. Can the fresh installed TCL 8.4.4 on my home mashine be the reason for the smaller EXE? But your typo in newlisp_7202.tgz remains in image.txt /freawrap/images/reloadImg.gif should be: /freewrap/images/reload...

Your description missed that I must have an istalled TCL 8.4 and a BWidget-Dir in C:\. When I try your advice I get an error that this image is missing: /freawrap/images/reloadImg.gif It is a typo in the pathname in images.txt! But I end with an working newlisp-tk.exe with 1811KB instead of your 7.2...

Lutz,

Thanks for the quick response and description.
Sounds very promising.
Have to check it as soon as possible.

Note, that the demon mode only works correctly on LINUX and BSD systems. On Win32 based systems newLISP may not be able to reconnect at all times.

Taken from the doc. Seems not so good for Win32 systems! :-((

So the question is: Can we use TCL/TK extensions under newlisp?

If you start newLISP in demon mode with the -d option it will stay in memory with all its data

Have not thought about that. Also interesting. I will give it a try. But direct call would be also nice.

Hello Lutz, I would like to ask if it is possible to make a newlisp.dll where I can call a function "eval" and pass a string containing a lisp-code.(cdecl) This would be similar to newlisp "Direct execution mode". It would return a string to the calling Programm. But the DLL could then stay in memor...

Searching on Tcl/Tk for an embedable browser-object I found optcl for Tcl/Tk from here: http://www2.cmp.uea.ac.uk/~fuzz/optcl/default.html Example on use here: http://mini.net/tcl/newzpoint Is this possible or usable in newlisp?

Hello Lutz, Such a parser/evaluator could be written in half a page of newLISP source. I could do one for the Tips&Tricks section on http://newlisp.org/news , (but not this weekend). Is there any chance that you come back to this infix parser? Of cource not this weekend, but in a near future? :-) I ...

>(Peter from .de are you still here?).

Sure, and I still like it. I do not miss any release of your great newlisp. And I am lurking here often to see what's happening.

Hello gaD, Seems that another one of the autolisp-community find his way to newlip. Since some things are different in newlisp, some can be done by macros. Lutz has provided some compatible functions in the past. (setq, foreach, repeat, defun) The functions cadr, cddr and cdr are not present. For "c...

Hello Lutz,

wellcome in Germany, whish you a good time here.

Do you visit germany private or do you bring all the newLisp to the people here? :-)

To avoid the flicker:

From newlisp-tk help:

In the file newlisp-tk.config include the following line:

set Ide(initCommand) "wm withdraw ."
