I'm alive!
There are two distinct modes for scripts, which is set from the program that calls the script (Plus! in this case), to either trusted or not, in one the script is given access to only the COM objects specifically added by Plus!, in the other it is fr...		gingeArchive10-02-2002 at 03:55 PM
I'm alive!
If scripting is just a way of opening the power of Plus! up to the more advanced users then why not just make it open source? (possibly to a small group of people - there aren't that many who can actually do C++) This would also give you people subm...		gingeArchive09-30-2002 at 03:30 PM
I'm alive!
Scripting should [b]NOT[/b] be optional in anyway - it defeats the whole point of doing scripting and moving many functions of Plus! into script. Either have script or don't, but just as a program wide decision. To create a script in VBScript or JSc...		gingeArchive09-30-2002 at 10:34 AM
I'm alive!
Releasing beta copies to a timetable almost guarantees they will be broken and also hampers progress because he would have to fix things on Sunday, whereas when developing its often a lot better break things in the short term to get them working bett...		gingeArchive09-29-2002 at 07:57 PM
Script? did I hear script?
They are all Turing Complete, so none is more powerful than any of the others, and you could write a Perl interpretter in JScript and then use that. In fact I think it may be possible to spawn your own scripting engine from within a script, so you co...		gingeArchive09-28-2002 at 07:53 PM

I agree, even the people who wrote it have given up and started again for version 6!		gingeArchive09-28-2002 at 07:47 PM
Multi-Language Support -- *Who can translate* Plus! into it's own language?
I would strongly recommend against that, as it creates more work for Patchou, more work for the translators, and makes the code less readable (if he's going to do it the way I think he is), and hampers "fun" languages (I don't want a 2Gb DLL with...		gingeGeneral Chit Chat09-28-2002 at 05:58 PM
Multi-Language Support -- *Who can translate* Plus! into it's own language?
How is Patchou going to implement the multilanguage thing? From my experience with both PhatSkinner and Msg++ and reading of the GNU GetText sources I have found that if you let users modify the translations on their machine then it is a lot easier f...		gingeGeneral Chit Chat09-28-2002 at 03:37 PM
Script? did I hear script?
Then don't learn VBS, learn JScript - it looks more like Perl (it has the whole {} thing going on), has regular expressions (not as good as Perl, but useable), and doesn't have annonymous variables passed around the place (you must hate that with P...		gingeArchive09-27-2002 at 09:57 PM
Script? did I hear script?
JScript is JavaScript (or MS's version, with the occasional extra feature), nothing too different - most people use the terms interchangeably, and can't tell the difference between them. VBScript is not in any way like JScript in syntax terms (comp...		gingeArchive09-27-2002 at 09:17 PM
Script? did I hear script?
Having just looked at one of my old VB programs that offers scripting using the Microsoft Scripting thingy, it is as simple as setting object.Language = "VBScript" or similar, being that this is so couldn't you just have the first line of every sc...		gingeArchive09-27-2002 at 07:11 PM
Script? did I hear script?
Windows Scripting Host (or maybe its called ActiveX scripting and is just used by the WSH, not too sure on that point) is just using the MS scripting engine, you give it the script, some bindings (COM objects) and a language ID (VBScript, JScript, .....		gingeArchive09-27-2002 at 05:19 PM
Script? did I hear script?
Will it be pure VB Script or just Windows Scripting Host compatible (i.e. are you going to write your own compiler/runtime, or just use the one Microsoft give out with IE?). If it was Windows Scripting host then people could use JScript (a far superi...		gingeArchive09-27-2002 at 09:11 AM
Plus! 2.01 Beta Leaked!!! (FAKE)
No offense intended if I'm wrong - but I think this is a fake (sadly). If you look at the about about box in Plus! 1.42, the boss shortcut has been replaced by scripting, which means the boss shortcut would have died or been moved - still possible. ...		gingeGeneral Chit Chat09-22-2002 at 09:57 AM
