I've added new utilties to my utilities download page.

COLOR_CONV - it changes prompt display colors on the fly

1. it uses real names instead of codes - easy to debug

1. source only

PROMPT_ACTION

 This routine allows you to change one, some or all prompts in a window, setting a particular attribute.  You can use prompt numbers or DICT IDs (really handy!) to delineate the prompts.  The attributes that are modifiable are:

 Entry type - O, R, RP, P, VP, etc.

 Hide or unhide a prompt and it's label

 Change a label - show a different label depending on whatever you 

     need.

 Change prompt entry length - really handy, especially when used 

     with a label change.

   (hmm... I haven't put in changing the ICONV or OCONV, but it

     would be easy since you get source)

 ! Set row limit !  really handy for MV fields.

I've also included $SSPEEK (let's you know if you're in a window by counting the number of common - only usable in 3.x systems). I'm not sure where I got it - could have been Steve Smith.

DOS2REV and REV2DOS are 2 DOS programs to do exactly as they imply. Really fast. Again, not sure where I got them.

I'm going to be putting up a number of my other utilities, including a DES encryption routine I wrote in C. If you have any particular needs, let me know and I'll see if I have a routine to fill it. After 17 years of Rev, I've got a few hanging around.

Finally, I'm writing an AREV-ACCESS conversion system - so if you'd be interested in possibly purchasing one in the future, please let me know. Yes, it will be inexpensive and source will come with it.

I'm also available for short term contracts, either on site or telecommuting. Very reasonable rates.

I have a new feature on my website that allows you to click on an icon and chat realtime. Since I'm online 24/7, you can almost always reach me. No charge.

Thanks, Larry, for generously sharing your code. I'm looking forward to making good use of it.

Could you also share the contents of the InWin$, wc%, wconst, and PrintConstants records in your tinclude file referenced in COLOR_CONV?

Thanks again.

InWin$ is:

declare function SSPEEK

InWin$=(SSPEEK(1160)=135)

SSPEEK is on the my website I will upload the other includes. Sorry about that. </QUOTE> —- === At 05 MAY 2000 03:45PM Larry Wilson - TARDIS Systems, Inc. wrote: === <QUOTE>InWin$ is: declare function SSPEEK InWin$=(SSPEEK(1160)=135) SSPEEK is on the my website

wc% is just window_common%

wconst is just window_constants% with this line added at the bottom

equ MAX_AMV$ to wc_amv_vars%

I will upload PrintContstants to my website.

Nice work, Larry. If everyone shared just a few lines of code via their websites then the Revelation world would be a better place.

It would be a lot easier if RTI had upload/download area as they had on CompuServe. Can't be too difficult to create a FTP site.

While Tripod doesn't have a public upload capability, if anyone emails me their code with a description, I'll put it on a new upload/download page on my AREV site.

It still would be simpler if RTI maintained a centralized repository for user/third party programs and utilities rather than having to hunt around for urls.

The Developer Network section of this web site contains just such a repository under "3rd Party Products and Tools." This section lists Revelation-based applications and tools upon request, and includes a form for submitting an inclusion request.

I inquired about this a year ago or so, and was told it was only available to developers that 'joined' and paid the fee. Is this no longer the case?

Larry,

There is no change to the policy. There has never been a requirement to be a Works member to have information posted to the Developer Network section of the Revelation Web site.

Thanks for pointing this out. I rarely visit the Developer's Network Page and the line about the submission form is just below the cutoff of the screen area on my browser. Would help to scroll down once in a while.

they are all on my website - wc% is just shorthand for Window_common%

wconst% is available (one of the messages in the question about colors show the extra line I have) and InWin$ is on my site - you need SSPEEK
