Folks,

Within the limits of a personal Curl license, I have started testing some Curl pages over at my www.LogiqueWerks.com

I'll try to keep y'all posted here at this blog of progress and hiccups at that site.

The next page up will be a TocDocument to supplement the index of one of the available books on Curl.

In the past my Curl blogs were at www.eclectic-pencil.com and www.eclectic-pencil.blogspot.com but very likely now they will be home to my related interests in Smalltalk, Rebol, Icon, Unicon, Converge, Oz, Jython and such while my Curl blogging moves to this address.

There are two open source modules for Python that I intend to port to Curl, so their progress should also track from this blog.

Cheers

Hi Robert,

Thanks for taking the time to set up what I'm sure will be another great resource for our community!

I had to make several changes to accommodate the web host, YAHOO.

Once I get the project PCurl'd it should load more quickly.

It does demonstrate a serious memory leak as soon as you start monitoring it ( footprint is tiny until you use a menu item; close that MDI child; open another of the same and you see the memory double as there is effectively no GC )

I'll get all that looked after before I post a more public blog note ...

"Enterprise Curl" PCurl's deployed and loading fine. Now for the garbage collection and MDI display issues and splash screen and some progress bars and ...
Fortunately an old musician pal owns some dealerships so he may have some suggestions for this car dealer example (out as demo; out on temp plate; reserved; sale-pending; on-order; hail damaged; clearance; showroom-only)
I have made some changes to make it easier to deploy another example using RSS and some JSON etc.
And then there is the little HTML page in which the <OBJECT> tag is embedded.. that has to go ..
