A solution could be to have some package managers/people who deliver to
Lutz for the UNIX/Linux/MAC distribution they work on for the specific stable newlisp compressed package (its a terrible task to maintain this by yourself...)

Norman.

Eddier ;-) You are following the Rebol way ;-)

list based net-select , good news lutz !!! thanks for that, it makes networking
much more flexible ;-)

Hello Lutz, 'Slice is an option I use currently, though its not very charming when using buffers of i.e. 2 MB (raw binary data)..also its 1 step extra. So i though that 'seek and/or 'find could be extended? Parse is not realy an option either because of the index pointer.. So I have to choose curren...

Im not sure if its the same but , The net-select on lists of sockets, Im actualy working on that, if its the same, on a small project of mine. Because for multi server sessions you need to be able to track down the clients connected, thats why i asked for a (net-session) update, which is now working...

Hello Lutz, Is there a quick way to do a repeated find into a buffer with index return? (without converting it into list first exploding it and joining back to buffer) I was thinking of an extention on the current 'seek and 'find. Where seek is also able to seek (with buffer-pointer, indexed) in a b...

I just hope it not a blacklisting :-)

Thanks, Norman.

Hello Lutz,

Your breaking records today ;-) 4 releases on 1 day ;-)
Lucky my update checker keeps up with your speed ;-)

Norman.

Uhum.. No sorry my life started with Assembly 68000 ;-)

Actualy what amazes me the most is that the return from the lib-call 'window
here is directly a pointer, the need for 'get-float 'get-integer is not needed :-)
Norman.

Thanks ;-) great enhancement !

Hello Lutz,

Yes thats what i tested and worked fine, the blocking is no problem for me there
in the UNix scripting its the same case actualy...

Thanks for the reply..

Norman.

Hello All, What is the "best" way to convert a list into a string, silly question perhpas but as it is not a standard function in lisp i can only emagine i.e. as a way to do it: --> (join xxx "") ; where xxx is the list and a string is returned. Any quicker of better way is welcome ;-) Regards, Norm...

Hello all,

Has anyone already played with http://librep.sourceforge.net ?

Im just currious on the experiences of others, it looks very familiar
to newlisp thought the basis is different. librep has some nice parts
pahaps Lutz can borrow some? ;-)

Regards, Norman.

Hello Lutz,

Have you thought about supporting [FIFO] for newlisp?
(mknod -p / mkfifo )

Regards,
Norman.

Oke..tried the -m32 for Tru64 4.0F (dont have 5.1B at hand now) but for GCC that gives problems.. because the GCC on the 4.0F is not enhanced for 32Bits. So tried it with CC on tru64 but then an error came up reagrding an struct that had a failure, i guess its related to a pointer length issue on 64...

So that would make it run on Tru64 then :-)
(if "cc" supports it...dunno actualy..but i guess it should...)

Norman.

Hello Lutz,

Is it possible to have nested contexts (nested objects) ?

example:

>(context 'one)
one>(context 'two)
one'two>(context 'three)
one'two'three>(set 'four "value")
one'two'three>(context 'MAIN)

>one'two'three:four
"value"

Norman.

Thanks Lutz for the 7508 release :)

Little offtopic but slightly related:

Hello Lutz,

I could test the compilation on tru64 4.x and 5.x
Do you know if there are some issue to expect perhpas on tru64 ?

Norman.

Hello Nigel, I understand your concern, the newlisp socket implementation is very straightforward and does not contain, as far as i can see, odd extra's, for basic communication over tcp and from what you can expect from tcp communication, newlisp is good useable. I will trust my applications to it....
