Too bad about Forth not attracting more interest. I've never understood why. It is so much cleaner and easier to visualize then infix and prefix.

I spent an enjoyable half hour or so, with the demos from this release. The default binary installed without any problems on my XP machine (more on this in a second). What you have done to civilize the Java GUI is phenomenal, Lutz! The image-demo/textrot-demo.lsp code to set up a window, then rotate...

Oh. I knew that!
:-$

FWIW, allfonts-demo.lst, properties-demo.lst, and newdep's '[gag] new lisp' posted here today:

invalid function : (gs:get-screen)

Using guiserver-0.92, newLISP v.9.1.1, under XP.

Maybe I missed a readme?

Good work, m35!

I added a [protected:psilwen] to the page, just in case.

Of course!

In fact, someone has already posted a link there to your posting. http://alh.net/newlisp/wiki/

You can put the actual code there instead. Your password is "psilwen" (Don't tell anyone :-)

I have to change:
after the init on my XP machine.

Update: It works fine, now that I've upgraded to guiserver-0.3. Nevermind.

Both versions work fine on my XP machine, after I comment out the MotifLookAndFeel.

Oops! I keep forgetting that the initial 'n' is not capitalized.

newdep made the suggestion that we have a new forum for the NewLISP Guiserver, and I think it's a great idea! So, here it is.

If any of you want to suggest forum changes, please feel free to do so. We're all fans here!

I am not a fan of Java in the slightest. But I'm certain that this is the right decision, to make Java the GUI for NewLISP. There is so much flexibility just waiting to be used. Don't like the look-and-feel? Load in another! This implementation of Java in NewLISP is a challenge in simplicity and str...

Send the graphic as an email attachment to newlispfanclub at excite.com and I'll put it onto the server for you.

No! Not gzipped, but spread across several hard disks. Like FreeNAS with a JBOD software RAID-Z2. With encryption.

That's a mouthful to say, but I think it would be an eminently-doable, killer app. People would love to use their old hard disks for failure-resistant backup. I sure would!

I think the css for the links, visited, and hover need to be extended to include titles, big titles, bigger titles, etc. Lutz has given us a great model to start from, but I deviated from it, and this is what happens. I can fix it for this Wiki, but a more general solution seems to be in order. How ...

Thanks for the kind words! I think the Wiki can be useful for trading code, and for more permanently posting information that might get lost in a discussion thread. The site says: 'No copyrighted material is to be posted to this site," but you can use it to link to your copyrighted material offsite,...

Ptooie! (Hollywood spit take)

What?!!

Is it here yet? Oh boy! Oh boy! Oh boy! Is it here yet? Oh boy! Oh boy!..

The Wiki is up and running again! Somehow, several files in the /pages directory got deleted, which brought the web page down. I have no idea how this happened, but I did learn a lot bringing the Wiki back up. I should be quicker next time ;-) I think that I recovered all the posts, but if not, plea...

Thanks, Lutz! For some reason Default_Style was deleted from /pages. index.cgi couldn't serve the stylesheet, so it quit. Therefore I couldn't use /index.cgi?restore. I've got it enough of it back to work with now, but I'm going to take a break and calm my nerves first. The Wiki will be down for a c...

Lutz, you got a minute? The /wiki/pages directory has no entries after 5/27, and is missing several files and postings, while the /wiki/backup seems to be complete. Can I simply cp ./backup ./pages to restore, or is there a better way? Looking at the source HTML of the partially-served page, it appe...

Uh oh! We seem to have stripped a gear. The page now shows: <!-- list or string expected in function replace : content called from user defined function I think I know where the problem is, and I'm on it. I understand your comment, cormullion. I'm jealous of my browser's real estate myself. I'll cut...

http://alh.net/newlisp/wiki/ I see this as a place to share code, links, and long-lived information. But you can use it any way you like, because YOU are the ones that write it. What awesome power! Special mention goes to Lutz Mueller for writing the Wiki software, and for making it so easy that eve...

How about something like this, for starters?

The password for editing, and you are all encouraged to edit this, is "psilwen". You might recognize this as the name of a popular computer language, spelled backwards.

ps: to Ryon: DMI's site is online again

Just when I was starting to feel Great and Powerful! ;-)

p.s. to Lutz: Let's see how fast I can get that wiki running! Ready, Set,..

Dmi's site seems to be offline.

I've heard of Slashdotting and Instalanches, this wouldn't be the first instance of a site being nLFClubbed, would it?
