A previous mail described how the bootSerialTrace for NO workED. For my ver: 2001-beta; only the 'trace to own screen' worked - for me. ----------- Date: Tue, 5 Feb 2002 10:50:13 +0100 (MET) From: fischer(a)inf.ethz.ch Subject: Problems with Trace setting stored permanently (Native Alpha 11-Oct-2001) .. Ran these tests with 2 machines attached via null-modem cable. <etc. everything confirmed OK.> ============= For A2 from a CD the bootSerialTraces with 3 different IDEs are given below, as being possibley usefull for other collaborators. I'll try to debug them later, since the documentation seems quite substantial.

Babel and Regul do not impose the line limitation. You should install Grard's latest release. At least a few details critical to End-of-line were added after 2003-01-05; ie. after the last Alpha NO. Installation and learning take some time but are certainly a good investment. Regards, ... Peter -- http://members.shaw.ca/peasthope/ http://carnot.yi.org/ = http://carnot.pathology.ubc.ca/

RX.SetSearch ~ "g" hangs N-O
by Chris Glur 20 Mar '09

20 Mar '09

Apparently [ because I didn't save 'it' before it crashed] RX.SetSearch ~ ("g") and/or RX.SetSearch ~ "g" hangs linux, running ETH-Oberon: aka LEO; to the extent that I had to remove power to reset, which is quite an achievement ! <An interesting observation of the sub-consious mind is that when we install a new system, we can crash it the first day, but after using it for 1000 hours, we don't *know how* to crash it - because we have subconsiously learned 'where not to go' ? > Since it's time consuming to boot & setup LEO, I checked on my NO box and logged my actions:--------- RX.SetSearch ~ ("g") == TRAP -14 Stack overflow ( 00103FFCH ) (PC Native 11.10.2001) RXA.Term PC = 2029 lh = @ np = 00000023H ptr = 00000000H tv = 16 .. By John Drake's: RXEnhanced.GrepAll RX.Tool ~ ("g") == TRAP -14 Stack overflow ( 00103FFCH ) (PC Native 11.10.2001) RXAx.Term PC = 2046 lh = 00000000X np = 00000000H ptr = 00000000H tv = 0 ----------- Perhaps RX.SetSearch ( ~ ("g")) is 'better' but that's not the topic of investigation now ? Can some one *ELSE* look into this ? I've commented-on/criticised RX before - repeatedly ! That 'sed' is massively used in Linux - especially inside scripts, demonstrates how essential this utility is. What I was trying to do was: Mark text stretch to = remove leading space/tabs = remove all char ">" = merge & line-break all lines @ < LenMax = insert leading "> " to each line. With little knowledge of linux, I acheived this, by stringing some existing filters together. How is A2 for sed-ing ? ------------ AFAICS RX has a fundamental flaw: there's no way to specify "starting from the line-start", because this would normally be defined as 'after <cr>' [except for the first line], and since matching stops at <cr>, by definition there's nothing after <cr>. How else do you delete the 'line-leading white-chars' ? I.e. you can delete 'the first occurance of a string, but not 'only if it's the first-substring of the line'. ==Chris Glur.
