[Pharo-project] Returning an Error Code from a Headless Script
by Rob Rothwell Nov. 21, 2009

Nov. 21, 2009

Can the current Pharo and VM return an error code from a headless script in the same way similar to a VBScript: WScript.Quit(999) Or...will this take some VM hacking? Thanks! Rob

[Pharo-project] Managing images: new files vs. new folder
by Schwab,Wilhelm K Nov. 21, 2009

Nov. 21, 2009

Hello all, How do you handle a new version of Pharo? Obvious choices are to unzip in the same directory with the previous image, and to create an image-specific directory. I have succesfully put various images in one folder in the past, but I worry about MC stepping on itself in the then common package cache. There are some advantages to that approach, but if MC gets into trouble, it's a bad idea. Bill

[Pharo-project] OSProcess - working on gnuplot
by Schwab,Wilhelm K Nov. 21, 2009

Nov. 21, 2009

Dave, I am slowly gathering ideas on how to write an interface to gnuplot. It will probably be enough to use PipeableOSPRocess class>>command: to grab output from it, but it will be inefficient for producing large numbers of graphs. Ideally, I would like to run the program and obtain output without creating so much as a named pipe; it appears to be possible to route output to standard out, so there is a potential for it to work. For a single graph, think I see how to make that go. For large numbers of graphs, one could allow gnuplot to write the files; that might even be preferred in many situations, but right now I appear to be designing that way because I don't know another way - I'm trying to leave Windows behind me :) Is there a clean way to start gnuplot, leave it running, write to its stdin, read from its stdout almost as if it were a TCP server, and then close it when I'm ready to do so? I tried running CommandShell thinking that might let me demo it, but appears to be stuck back in MVC?? Bill

[Pharo-project] Fwd: [squeak-dev] [ANN] Filesystem 1.0
by Lukas Renggli Nov. 21, 2009

---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Colin Putney <cputney(a)wiresong.ca> Date: 2009/11/21 Subject: [squeak-dev] [ANN] Filesystem 1.0 To: The general-purpose Squeak developers list <squeak-dev(a)lists.squeakfoundation.org> Hi folks, I've just made available for download a new project of mine. It's an alternative interface to the filesystem, which grew out of my frustration with trying to use FileDirectory for some particularly file-intensive code. It's built upon the FilePlugin primitives, but all the image-side code is written from scratch. The interface offers: Â Â Â Â - Convenient path manipulation Â Â Â Â - Transparent access to the contents of zip files Â Â Â Â - Late-bound references to files and directories Â Â Â Â - Support for working with entire directory trees A SAR file is available for download here: Â Â Â Â http://www.wiresong.ca/downloads/Filesystem-1.0.0.sar A short tutorial is available here: Â Â Â Â http://www.wiresong.ca/filesystem/ Feedback appreciated!

[Pharo-project] Issue 332: (Arithmetic protocol should be removed from Collections and Strings)
by Simon Denier Nov. 21, 2009

Nov. 21, 2009

Hi there from Pharo sprint We are trying to tackle Issue 332: (Arithmetic protocol should be removed from Collections and Strings) The problem is that the chronology classes in Pharo depend on the arithmetic of Collection to perform time computation. So there is two things. We remove the Collection-arithmetic from Core and we propose: - move the Colllection arithmetic stuff in an extension package, so that if people want to use it, they can - rewrite the Chrono stuff so that they do their computation without Collection arithmetics. -- Simon
