I only use Windows and Linux at the moment. Trying to get my mind around Xtalk might just drive me over the edge! Monte Goulding wrote > Yeah... I think you just want a library???

For instance, I use R (a statistical programming language) a fair bit. There are a number of GUIs for it but none that are straightforward for student users (my main base). It would be incredibly easy to develop a GUI using Livecode. I could then access R functionality using shell or process (I think) calls. But, my fantasy (imagining I can actually understand how to write calls to dll's) would be to access the R engine directly. In my other fantasy (you can see that I don't have much else to fantasise about) I could write an easy interface to the most powerful open source statistical engine in the Universe so that students are not dependent on having to buy in to SPSS or some other proprietary stats program. I have other crazy thoughts like this to do with other libraries (python has some excellent mathematics and statistical libraries) but I really don't have the level of code knowledge to write the glue to the external libraries. cheers Alistair -- View this message in context: http://runtime-revolution.278305.n4.nabble.com/1001-things-to-do-with-LiveCode-only-400-page-views-per-day-tp4660715p4660848.html Sent from the Revolution - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
