Can you say more?
Does 4D standalone tolerate "transported" split resource forks/files,  
but 4D Server & Client do not?

RE: 4D iNUG down?

Perhaps you are right - yahoo groups is essentially a free host for mailing lists that use mail and/or
(depending on user choice) web interface. Plus its not M/S and does NOT require a yahoo account - any email
address will do!

Unexpected Quitting - Crash Log

Hi guys,

I have a client whose 4D database started "unexpectedly quitting" after 
over a year of problem free running on 4D Server/Client v2003.5. It 
happened immediately after he took it upon himself to upgrade to 4D 
Server/Client v2003.7. It started quitting, so he then tried to go back 
to v2003.5 but, in the process, he opened it up with several mixed 
Server and Client versions, .res and .rex all over the place, etc...

Anyway, it's quitting frequently now, particularly in one area of the 
database. The code has not changed in a year, and like I said, it has 
been running fine. I "rejuvenated" the structure and datafile (Tools, 
export/import data into new fresh unindexed datafile, opened with 
indexed structure to rebuild indexes and relations, SanityCheck, 
DataCheck, trash .res and .rex, new versions of Server and Client, 
blah, blah), and none of that had any effect.

We found a 4D Client Crash Log, which has been logging the crashes, but 
I don't know what to make of it. I'm wondering if someone can lend some 
insight as to the cause of the quitting and/or what the crash log is 
pointing to.

Here is one of the crashes, from the log. What's it mean?

Mac OS 10.2.8

TIA,

Sam

styled text and Marketblast

I have a need to put styled text onto a form within 4D. There appears  
to be approximately one plugin that will allow me to do this:  
MarketBlast.

* does anyone know of any other choices? All I need is bold, italic,  
etc. I don't want a full blown 4D Write area since I just need to  
display some simple (non-editable) text areas on a form.

* The MarketBlast plugin is in its first version and I've heard of a  
few bugs (like not working properly on multiple page forms). Has  
anyone here used it successfully?

* Given its reliance on Gecko (which is a pretty huge library), does  
it make loading and displaying the form very slow? I only want to use  
it to style a couple of words in large blocks of text.

* If I put a hyperlink into the text area, can I control what happens  
when the user clicks on it? Is it going to just open a web browser or  
can I control the effect to run a piece of 4D code?

Thanks for any info on this intriguing and little publicised plugin.

Re: Need Help with QFree and a Regular Expression

I've been testing this a bit and found some odd quirks in Martin's  
approach with some specific types of emails. In particular headers  
attached by a particular spam filter look like this:

     X-Spam-Score:     0.2 (/)
     X-Spam-Report:     Spam detection software, running on the  
system "fish.ish.com.au", has identified this incoming email as  
possible spam.  The original message has been attached to this so you  
can view it (if it isn't spam) or label similar future email.  If you  
have any questions, see the administrator of that system for details.  
Content preview:  Hi, This works in BBedit: ([^:\r\n]+): ([^\r\n]+[\r 
\n]?(?:[\t ][^\r\n]+[\r\n]?)*) [...]  Content analysis details:    
(0.2 points, 5.0 required) pts rule name              description  
---- ----------------------  
-------------------------------------------------- 0.2  
NO_REAL_NAME           From: does not include a real name 0.1  
FORGED_RCVD_HELO       Received: contains a forged HELO

All of that is just two headers, but the original regex was splitting  
it up at the "BBedit", "From", etc.

So I modified the regex just a little and got this:

$RawHeaders:=$RawHeaders+"\r\n"  `this makes the next regex easier  
and more bulletproof

   `http://cr.yp.to/immhf/header.html
$RegexPattern:="([^\\x00-\\x1f\\x7f-\\xff :]+)"  `matches keyword  
field (group 1)
$RegexPattern:=$RegexPattern+":[\\t ]+"  `  :  space/tab

Set the automatic action in the menu bar editor to "Preferences."

Re: ITK Replacement

I will also be taking over my chuch application in 4D. Would you care  
to share the routines, as my church does not have the funds for ITK  
and its licenses.

Thanks in advance.
