Re: Livecode Standard Plan

I signed up for a trial version on the website.

Then Heather informed me there was no trial.

The website still offers a trial.

So, why should we expect any demo?

Re: Livecode Standard Plan

continue using it as the workshop where Create is worked on
The company may do that: but whether they are going to continue licensing it to others is another question.

Re: Livecode Standard Plan

the most cost-effective path A path which shows no evidence of having been trodden in the past. Personally, if I hadn't found what I feel is a viable alternative , I'd be stumping up the money to climb completely into bed with Create at the point it stops being in beta, and presupposing I had had a...

Re: Devawriter Pro

The fact that I was able to carry my extremely complex Devawriter stack from 11 years of development in LiveCode directly over to OpenXTalk without any modification and continue development without any hiccups should be extremely instructive.

Re: Livecode Standard Plan

Here's what one of the admins over there has to say: I wasn't going to touch the computer this weekend, but I find myself on here organising. What email address or username did he choose? Can you find out please? Trawling through the spambots, I kind of need to know what genuine users to let through...

Re: Livecode Standard Plan

Writing as a child of the late 1970s British Rockabilly revival there is no obvious indication that with Create we can get away with antiseptic cream in our hair because we cannot afford Brylcreem. :lol: But there is always the risk of 'Rockabilly' being swept away by Punk Rock, so no more worries a...

Re: Livecode Standard Plan

There's a language history thing at the heart of why xTalks gave way to conventions common among newer scripting languages Not much different, I suppose, than why flared jeans were fashionable in the 1970s, and they are not at the moment. But I still enjoy New Order's music Indeed: although it soun...

Re: Adventures into matchChunk and regex

As a qualified Linguist (M.A. Applied Linguistics, SIUC) I would like to point out (echoing FourthWorld's point) that what this discussion really comes down to is that the human mind is not a binary computer, and concepts such as 'sentence' and 'paragraph' are products of the human mind, and they ar...

Re: Adventures into matchChunk and regex

One of the salient things I notice about this: El Banco Nacional de México, S.A. ("Banamex"), Teléfonos de México, S.A.B. de C.V. ("TELMEX"), Operadora de Cinemas, S.A. de C.V. ("Cinemex"). That is O.K. and e.g. no simple K.O. is that, apart from 'e.g.' all the full stops that are NOT sentence delim...

Re: Livecode Standard Plan

No, Craig, I don't think you are wrong. But I do think a few other things: 1. LiveCode (which started our being called Runtime Revolution) was, at one time, revolutionary insofar as it vastly improved on MetaCard, which was, in turn, a UNIX clone of HyperCard. 2. As in the case of all revolutions ev...

Re: Adventures into matchChunk and regex

How do you resolve this?
If you could explain to me what you mean by 'resolve' I may have a chance.

Re: Livecode Community on Apple Silicon

One of the 'other jollifications' about LC 963 Open Source is that it does not work on MacOS 15.7.5 on an Intel Mac.

Not that that matters very much when OpenXTalk works there.
