Odd. I started out that way, returning only the numerical reference. The

Are Apps created for Windows using Rev 5.5.5 32 bit or 64 bit? If apps are 32
bit, what does the user do if he is running a 64 bit Windows operating system?
And, what stable version of LiveCode do I need to use to create a 64 bit app?

Richard:
This sounds very attractive. I hadn’t thought of just opening the app directly
from the server and running it in memory.
Thanks for the encouragement. I think it’s a good idea.
Best,

Version 6.6.2, your "by position" method is by FAR the fastest 26 millisec
for 80k lines. repeat takes almost 9 seconds. The sort function method
not passing text back and forth, takes 102 millisec which isn't slouchy by
any means.
Jump to version 7.0.1 and the by position method needs some maj

Indeed. Jerry was (as usual) correct - if the engine can do it, then the
engine will normally be faster.
BUT sorting a list requires moving the data around quite a lot, AND
sorting something that actually reverses it can be a pathologically bad
case (e.g. if the engine uses any variant of qu

Where do you put the executables? On the Mac, in the Applications folder there

The Documents folder? The Application Support folder inside the user’s Library
folder?

This sounds like a great way to go!

Ok, last part and I'll shut up. On 100k lines, not passing the text itself

Just curious.. How does this compare?
local scount
on mouseUp
put the number of lines in field 1 + 1 into scount
sort lines of field 1 by getCount()
end mouseUp
function getCount
subtract 1 from sCount

Just tinkering around on a lazy Sunday, and I thought I'd come up with a
neat way to reverse a list without using the traditional clunky method:
function reverseSort pList
repeat for each line l in pList
put l & cr before tList
end repeat
return tList
end reverseSort
One of the best t

Thanks, Mike. It helped to see your approach. I was using keydown and
mousedown handlers and that was not detecting events outside of the LC app
itself. So I adapted your method using the keys down and mouseloc, and it
works nicely. Thanks!

Graham,
I think that you should think in terms of “licenses” rather than apps
downloaded when trying to enforce limits. Education, nowadays is less
centralized and students want to be able to access resources from multiple
places. School, home, mobile phones, tablets. Then, if there is too much

Graham,
I've had a lot of experience doing this for a 300seat oceanography class. I
used my own server to store student work. Students downloaded the software in
this instance. They were identified by a 7 digit number. I used a combination
of files uploaded and downloaded to a local temp folder,
