Visited a posting with a similar suggestion had success with *nix systems unfortunately not with Windoze.

I am attempting to access RESTful web services. As suggested in prior postings I am investigating cURL via "open process" due to security concerns I can only address the process via stdin and stdout (passwords/data on the command line would be visible by other users). So, I am currently using “open ...

I would like to alter the theme of basic components removing most of the "chrome". A example would be Microsoft Metro theme or the example URL listed below. I am aware I can create my own controls the problem is I want all the basic control to utilize the theme is this even possible? Can I register ...

Play by play: Most of the usage of my particular application is remote (X secession, VNC) the current server would be considered a antique as would the Linux installation (using Runtime Revolution 2.x). Recently, it has been requested that I add features and upgrade the server consider the multitude...

I have just downloaded the most recent copy of LiveCode authorized it and "recompiled" (version 4.5.2 build 1150). The workbench stack is still producing black rectangles where buttons and etc, should be. I am unable to require users utilize a specific Linux distro especially require they have Compi...

I am running CentOS 5.5 32-bit and Runtime Revolution 4.5. As for having a monologue my many personalities take um-bridge. )
