To all,

I came back from the roadshow and was pumped to try some of the neato things I saw. Anycase, for the moment, I have a very simple questions which has stumped me.

1) Because I prefer the AREV blist function to printing my programs instead of the OI way, I copied via the COPY_ROW_TO_OS command a program, KB_ENTRY_SUB, to a directory on a Novell server, e.g., run COPY_ROW_TO_OS "SYSPROCS","KB_ENTRY_SUB","M:\TEMP\KES.PRG",'','1'. Sofar okay. Then I do a record copy to AREV. However, when I "blist" this program, things are really messed up. For example, when I look at the program via EDIT (under AREV), I see little "o" on certain lines (they look like "o", but are probably some special characters.) I have copied the program many times and have even done a "verify" and nothing changes for the better. When I print the program, it doesn't print the program correctly.

Has anyone encounter this problem and if so, how did you work around it?

Are most developers satisfied with the way programs are printed under OI?

Thanks,

Ray

You're seeing TAB characters - replace char(9) with spaces and you should be OK.

I'm sure I have a copy of it somewhere. Having the source would allow you to do a couple of things: Convert tabs to spaces, handle CR/LF sequences (if any) and to control your printing in a much better way than the OI print provides.

Ray,

Hey .. how is everything over in Tenn ..

You should be able to do just about anything available as HTML code in your replies here (or anywhere that supports it .. email etc)

Example .. let's say you wan a cool signature like mine .. (put your mouse over the dsig and see need message on bottom of your browser).

All one contiguous line (even if it wraps ..)

raychan@raychan_guru.com onmouseover=window.status= just a fly by of my emailname!';return(true)"

As you can see this is just a basic HTML command. The trick to making it work is to simply enclose this statement in .

[email protected] onmouseover=window.status=when you doubt yourself .. you doubt the creator. just relax and and see the wonder!;return(true)"

David,

Aren't you a sight for sore eyes (rub-rub-rub). So this is where you are hiding? I don't want to sound like a broken record, but I almost missed your reply. On Compuserve, you knew when you got mail, but here you have to clumsily look for it. It's a lot of work.

Anycase, I will be visiting this place more frequently. I recently attended the RTI roadshow held in Atlanta. In short, it kind of pumped me up and got me going in the OI direction again. Although I must say that it would be easier to get support and learn on the old but now extinct Revelation forum.

Well I certainly am glad to see you here even if some aren't . For sure, when I make my first zillion, I will create a "Revelation Chair for Dave Sigafoos." Thank you so much for your tip. I will show it to my kid and he will interpret it for me. Gads I'm getting old…er.

We must meet again and have dinner together for sure!

Ray

Andrew,

Do you have some sort of total recall? Heck I can hardly remember what I read last week let along something back in 1996!

Please don't get me wrong, but you're amazing! It's too bad there's not a radio show called: "RevTalk" or "RevHash". You would be a great moderator. For sure, make sure you invite people like Dave Sigafoos to keep it lively and provocative. Thanks for the references.

Maybe someday should jRev become mainstream, there may be such an opportunity – first radio, then television, then the net .

The printing is fine now that I got rid of all those nasty tabs.

I wish <g>. The site has a cool search feature. I just searched on "embedded HTML" and there we were!
