Caffeine

[C. W. Y. <ch...@su...>]

Maybe Travis has the right idea?

Why a cup of tea can ease the pain
By Robert Matthews, Science Correspondent

THE British habit of dealing with life's ills by
putting the kettle on now has some solid scientific
backing. New research has revealed that the caffeine
in tea and coffee can relieve bad headaches faster
than standard pain-killers.

Caffeine has long been known to provide an energising
effect, but evidence that it also has pain-relieving
properties has recently emerged. A scientific
investigation has found that caffeine alone is a
surprisingly potent pain-killer.

The results emerged during a trial involving hundreds
of people who regularly suffer tension headaches.
Patients were given a standard pain-killer - ibuprofen
- either alone or in combination with caffeine, and
the change in their condition compared with those who
received just caffeine or a placebo.

The results confirmed claims that caffeine boosts the
effectiveness of standard pain-killers, with 71 per
cent of the patients taking the combination reporting
complete relief, compared to only 58 per cent of those
who took ibuprofen alone.

The researchers were amazed to find, however, that
patients given just caffeine did just as well as those
given only ibuprofen: 58 per cent reported complete
pain relief, and they typically felt better up to half
an hour faster than those taking standard pain relief.


The results could not be dismissed as mere placebo
effect either: less than half of patients given only a
placebo reported complete pain relief.

Reporting their findings in the latest issue of
Current Pain and Headache Reports, the researchers at
the Diamond Headache Clinic in Chicago conclude:
"Caffeine alone provides a low but very real level of
effectiveness in treating tension-type headaches."

The results follow growing evidence of health benefits
from regular tea drinking. Studies suggest that the
antioxidants in tea may be linked to a reduced risk of
coronary heart disease, and also have a beneficial
effect on cholesterol and high blood pressure.

Hmmm... not sure. What about "piping" the option to manually enter the code to execute like some
input lines that take the word under cursor and make it take the "code under cursor".
The returned value should go to the message window with any other diagnostic thing.
Opinions?

Evaluate selection

[Thiago F.G. A. <tf...@za...>]

Hi, SET,

I saw the new "Evaluate selection" command. It's cool, but I'd like to make some suggestions. 
This is what I have in mind:

You don't need to select.

You position the cursor under the first character of the expression to be evaluated (or before). 
If the first non-blank character is '(', then read up to the matching ')'. Otherwise, this must 
be a variable name. So, read the next identifier and print it's value or "Variable unbound" in 
the status line (or the message window).

In both cases, the value of the expression is printed in a new line. So, to evaluate 

(not 1)

you move the cursor to '(' and run the command. Then you get

(not 1)
-2

--------------------------------------------------------------

One other thing: what sLisp calls "eval" is called "progn" in LISP. How about changing the name? 
So that users that have a LISP background don't get confused.

This doesn't work, because this 'not' is bitwise. So (not 1) returns -2, which is also true.

There is a bug in CommentUnindent. If you select lines 1, 2 and 3, it will act upon lines 1, 2, 3

0.4.51 is out

[salvador <sal...@in...>]

Hi All!

  I finished uploading 0.4.51.
  Currently we have:

DJGPP: Sources, Binaries and Installer (edi0451i.zip)
Win32: A binary exe just to test functionality, I need volunteers to help
with it.
Linux: Sources, Statically linked file (gpm 1.17.8) and Debian Potato
package.
I'm also looking for people to help in the non-Intel platforms (Alpha, PPC
and SPARC as example) and other UNIX (FreeBSD and Solaris as examples).
A Solaris user is helping to make T.V. compile for it. Usable versions for
FreeBSD and Linux/PPC can be compiled. Linux/Alpha have some memory
corruption problem, maybe related to the fact that ints are 32 bits and
pointers 64 bits wide. Linux/SPARC have some aligment problems, data not
aligned generates a SIGBUS signal.

SPARC64 now ;-)

[salvador <sal...@in...>]

Hi All!

  Trying to compile the editor for Linux/SPARC64 I found a SIGBUS error.
I was able to fix it but didn't commit it to the CVS because I want to solve
it in a cleaner way.
  BTW it was funny to edit the editor source with the PPC and compile it
with the SPARC (in a separated Eterm) to get the editor working for SPARC
(build the tool using it but mixing platforms).

Power PC news

[salvador <sal...@in...>]

Hi All!

  After killing some endian bugs the editor became usable under Power PC
(IBM RS/6000). I'm sure we'll find more problems but now it can start, open
files, you can edit them, exit and enter again loading the desktop file
without problems.

I guess you have installed the editor and InfView with different prefixes
or hierarchies. Please look in the tarball, it should have just one copy.

That's nice, but assumes three things:
1) Eterm is installed.
2) The setedit theme is installed.
3)  Eterm have the right patch or the support included.

But if that's created by the configuration script with an option like you say I think
that's ok.
I'll think about it.

Setedit partially working for Alpha

[salvador <sal...@in...>]

Hi All!

  I compiled stedit 0.4.50 in the Alpha server of Source Forge.
 After a small fix (I was casting a pointer to an int truncating the upper
32 bits ;-) it started to work.
 Something isn't ok because the editor is somehow corrupting memory, that's
exposed at exit when I use to free all the allocated objects. While doing it
the editor crashed in libc's free function (delete[] in fact).
 So if somebody have a Linux/Alpha at hand can experiment with it.

It works in my systems, what exactly do you have configured?
Did the editor create ~/.setedit directory?

Ok, is in the extra section with the AlCon tarball.
I think it have all the needed files, I used TV 1.1.1 to test it, I don't know
if the hacked files will work with 1.1.3.
If somebody gets it compiled just tell me.

Currently TV code that deals with screen and mouse is a mess.
I could easily do "just another dirty hack" and put the code there, but I
think is time to make things better and not follow with the current mess.
JASC did a nice work to solve it but lamentably he did it without real
knowledge about important details of TV and RHIDE so their code is mostly
useless. So I'm trying to extract ideas from JASC's code and TV 2.0 (Robert
based the initial port in TV 1.03 and 2.0 added some support for Windows and
flat memory models).
As the changes are big I want to first have an stable release of TV. The
1.1.3 is intended for it, but I got reports about compilation problems that
I must fix. I plan to fix them and perhaps even change release number to
1.1.4 (not sure).
After it I'll be free to break TV a little bit ;-), the idea is to make
various TScreen members to be pointers to functions. These members are
static so they can be replaced by any simple function. Something like a
"virtual static" stuff. The good thing is that is quite easy to replace some
of the members like this and even do it on the fly. The result will be that
TScreen constructor will call some functions to detect what is available,
lets say "test X", if not available try next "driver", etc.
The first driver that is detected to work will fill the pointers with
suitable functions.
All of this needs work. Even when my first aproach will be to just do this
replacement without too much code cleaning it will take some time.
As this will most probably generate some inestabilities I want to release a
new version of the editor linked with the stable TV.
So, currently my main goals are to release stable TV and Setedit, *after* it
I'll put all the effort in the new big things.
The AlCon and XText support will be added during this process. XText is
something like AlCon but that just uses Xlib, the result is much less
portable but works much nicer.
I also plan to finally merge my tags browser with the editor, it will open
some interesting features.
Too much things for only one developer ;-)
I'll try to upload the files I patched to get the editor working with AlCon,
but this is just a dirty hack that replaces the Linux code by AlCon calls, a
dynamic TV created with it will just kill the editor's console
functionallity. When I did the test I installed it with another soname to
avoid conflicts.

More about the "drivers" stuff:
I want to clean the Linux code, currently is a mess that supports VCSA,
Linux terminals, Xterm, Patched Eterm and generic UNIX terminals. I want to
split it at least a couple of drivers with clearly separated modules for
each case. One thing I want to do during this process is to move ncurses
away and let it only for generic UNIX terminals. NCurses is quite limited
and tricky, programs like mc just uses slang and slang just assumes the
terminal is some VT* terminal. I want to do it for Linux and xterm terminal
which *are* VT2xx terminals.
For this I must get code for an escape sequences parser, perhaps the code
from slang, not sure.

It is a problem with glibc 2.2.x and wrong information in the libc.info documentation.
Replace DECIMAL_POINT by RADIXCHAR
According to documentation RADIXCHAR is deprecated so I used DECIMAL_POINT, it works for 2.1.3
but in 2.2.x needs the definition of _GNU_SOURCE to compile because DECIMAL_POINT isn't standard.

Is not important, replace the things like I describe above and remove the Uses_CLY_nl_langinfo,
Linux have it, is just an error in libc's docs that made me use the wrong parameter.

new version build results (0.4.50 beta)

[Martijn V. <m.v...@hc...>]

Hi all,

I got the new setedit beta version  and here are the first bugreports about the build process
(nothing yet about the editor itself)


- First I got a message that xgettext was not installed, while I was quite sure it was.
turned out to be a different xgettext program and a wrong order in PATH. After I fixed
my path configure was fine.

- The  the build itself: I got this error msg form the linker:

 [large error message which turned out to be unimportaned skipped]

First try to install the newly downloaded tvision.

-> build error in tvision:

make -C linux
make[1]: Entering directory `/home/martijn/progs/tvision/linux'
make -C ../compat/ -f compat.mak
make[2]: Entering directory `/home/martijn/progs/tvision/compat'
make[2]: Nothing to be done for `all'.
make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/martijn/progs/tvision/compat'
gcc  -I../include           -O2 -gstabs+3 -pipe    -c ../classes/calcdisp.cc -o obj/calcdisp.o
../classes/calcdisp.cc: In method `void TCalcDisplay::calcKey(unsigned char, unsigned int)':
../classes/calcdisp.cc:158: `DECIMAL_POINT' undeclared (first use this function)
../classes/calcdisp.cc:158: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once
../classes/calcdisp.cc:158: for each function it appears in.)
make[1]: *** [obj/calcdisp.o] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/martijn/progs/tvision/linux'
make: *** [static-lib] Error 2

It turns out Uses_CLY_nl_langinfo is not defined in tv/configtv.h
If I #define it I get a few warnings about compatlayer.h redefining
things from /usr/include/langinfo.h.

But it looks like it builds ok.

Back to the editor. -> editor builds ok but now I get (ofcourse) a linker error:
undefined reference to CLY_nl_langinfo. I don't think I actually have a dutch
language pack installed.

I don't know anything about the gettext internationalisation stuff so
I'm a bit lost here about what to do now...

Debian Users

[Ivan B. <lu...@ad...>]

	Hello.
	This is to announce that there is a preliminary APT repository waiting
for you to test it.
	In the future, this repository will hold the latest *stable* releases
of SETEdit, INFView and RHTVision for both Potato 2.2 (stable) and Sid
(unstable) for your downloading, installing and upgrading pleasures.
	Though, at the moment there are only binaries for Debian Sid and the
only thing that is stable is RHTVision 1.1.3, SETEdit is unstable
version 0.4.50 and INFView is unstable version 0.2.7, thats because I
would like to know if the repository works ok and because I don't want
to break Potato machines (yet).
	To access the repository, just add the following line to your
/etc/apt/sources.list:
		deb http://setedit.sourceforge.net/debian unstable main
	If you have Potato, you can specify "stable", the repository for stable
is there, but since it doesn't contain packages it will work, though it
won't download anything yet... but when I upload the packages there,
then you will be able to download them.
	Please, send comments for the packages personally to me or to this
list, I would like to hear from you, at least to know that I am not
doing an useless work.
	Bugs specific to Debian packaging should be reported to me and not to
Salvador AND PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE!!!, DONT USE THE DEBIAN BUG TRACKING
SYSTEM.

	You may notice some Debian packages in the download section of the
SETEdit SourceForge Project place, this are packages made by Salvador of
unstable versions for Potato, you are encouraged to download and install
that packages to test new unstable versions of the editor, but if you
don't want to test unstable versions, then download the packages from
the APT repository.

	Greetings to everyone.

P.s: only i386 is supported.
P.s.2: I don't support woody/testing since I don't have it.
P.s.3: if you have good knowledge of Debian and packaging, I appreciate
if you could check the packages and comment on them, I know some things

Of course documentation is welcome.
If possible you should use the format used for the rest of the documentation.
That's basically the format used by Texinfo, plus some macros. I based it in
Robert's macros that he wrote based in Eli macros that he based ....
This is quite simple to write. Look at the files located in the doc directory.
They have .tx extension. The first 75 lines (aprox.) will look messy because they
define some details of the document.
If you want to write a chapter in the editor documentation just edit editor.tx,
skip the first 75 lines and take a look at the text structure.
It is divided in chapters, sections, subsections, etc. Line break is indicated
with @* and paragraphs like this:

Text.
@p{}

Another paragraph.

There are macros for tables and lists (@itemize @bullet). You can mark text as
bold @b{text} and italic @i{text}. But is better to use @code{} and similar
macros (more abstract).
If you need more information just ask, most of the macros used by Texinfo works
ok.

Wow, that's cool!

Enough for reformatting things. BTW, here's the first script I've
used with the RunProgramRedir to reformat email messages so they keep
identation levels and don't get out of the screen. The nice thing is
that it's very small since it sits on top of the fmt command. In fact,
this email is reformatted with it...

SET, I think I could write a little document about using this or adding
more external tools and I remember you always say documentation is
welcome. In what format should I write it? ._tx, .sgml, .pod, etc?

Fixed, it also wasn't listed in the default global options based on the
syntax highlight.

Fixed, moved to `o'.

P.S. I put it in the CVS.

I guess you installed InfView 0.2.7 and still using setedit 0.4.41. The new version of the editor
deprecates the use of editor.info as help file, that's a generic name and can clash with other
packages. Again: install the last version of the editor.

I'll check it.
