Re: External processes under MCL

There are many ways to do this. One very flexible one is to use an 
AppleScript/Unix script combination (do shell script, and do script). 
With these two guys you can do pretty much anything. The script below 
shows the man page of unix command including OpenGL functions. The 
Apple/Unix script combo allows you to not only launch apps but also to 
control running apps.

Thanks to Tiger's Automator there is much more apple script available 
to developers.

(in-package :ccl)

(defun UNIX-MAN-PAGE (Command)
   ;; http://developer.apple.com/technotes/tn2002/tn2065.html
   (eval-apple-script  ;; 
http://agentsheets.com/lisp/eval-apple-script.lisp
    (format
     nil
     "tell application \"Terminal\"
   do script \"man ~A\"
end tell"
     Command)))

(unix-man-page "glBegin")

Sequence-dialog-item mouse-tracking

Now that I know I can get messages from myself through info-mcl, can I 
get one from you?

I'm working on a time clock program, in which employees (approx. 75) 
must be able to choose their names from a scrolling list. I assume that 
a sequence-dialog-item should work for this, and to an extent it does.

The problem is that there is no visual feedback when you do a 
mouse-down and drag in the content area of the scrolling list. Click on 
Abe and drag down to Zeb, and sure enough, Zeb will get selected, but 
there's no visual feedback in between, not even highlighting, even if 
automatic scrolling is triggered. When auto-scroll happens, you can 
select a name that isn't even displayed in the content area until you 
lift up the mouse.

Is there another way I should expect to do this? Is there a fix? I've 
dabbled very little in LispWorks, but it seems to work just fine there. 
I'd rather not switch to another Lisp or to another language, but this 
is a deal-buster for me.

Laughing Water

P.S. Thanks to Alexander Repenning for providing a patch that gives 
"immediate" (but slow) refreshes when the thumb part of the scrollbar 
is dragged. This is a different problem.

MCL 5.0 on Tiger report - minor problem.

Although I've not had a chance to do much with it, I can report that MCL 5.0
does work with Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger. The only problem I've found is with
"char-upcase-etal-patch.lisp" which when loaded and saved with in an image,
causes the new image to fail to load leaving the following message on the
console:

Bug in MCL-PPC system code:
Error reporting error

Has anybody else had any positive Tiger experiences.

Re: MCL 5.0 on Tiger report - minor problem.

I have not run into many issues using MCL5 on Tiger yet. While I am  
able to load the "char-upcase-etal-patch.lisp" patch without the  
problem you are describing, I did need to load the unofficial patch:

Without this patch, you cannot move windows using the title bar  
unless playing a game of chase the window of the screen appeals to you.

Sorry I wasn't very clear on that one. I can load the patch into MCL fine, 
but I can't then save that  image with the patch in (via save-application), 
and then try to open the new image. This is when I get the problems.

trouble using long filenames

Hi, all!

Creating pathnames using make-pathname gives me strange results when  
using a name string of length 32. One name string is converted to  
uppercase if (and only if!) using a specific directory. Is there a  
patch for MCL 5.0 available which I missed?

? (make-pathname :directory "Macintosh  
HD:Users:diedrich:Documents:Programmierung:Apfelerkennung:data" :name  
"GestreifterWinterErdbeerapfel002" :type "svg")
#P"Macintosh  
HD:Users:diedrich:Documents:Programmierung:Apfelerkennung:data:GESTREIFT 
ERWINTERERDBEERAPFEL002.svg"

* surprise *

? (make-pathname :directory "Macintosh  
HD:Users:diedrich:Documents:Programmierung:Apfelerkennung:stuff" :name  
"GestreifterWinterErdbeerapfel002" :type "svg")
#P"Macintosh  
HD:Users:diedrich:Documents:Programmierung:Apfelerkennung:stuff:Gestreif 
terWinterErdbeerapfel002.svg"

Just renaming my directory from "data" to "stuff" doesn't fix the  
problem, MCL just can't open the existing file (probe-file returns nil).

Best wishes
