Yes, "var = NIL" does nothing (or actually clears the global "var" variable). You must declare all local variables with the "Local" statement, otherwise they become global (with an exception of function parameters which are local too). So, you should do it like this to get a local "var" variable: fu...

MorphOS hasn't reqtools.library

Yes it does, look in the SYS:MorphOS/Libs/, and I also noticed this bug once.. should report to the MorphOS team.

No, SFTP and FTPS are for quite different purposes. The sites/servers I access to transfer files are pretty much 50% FTP(S) and 50% SFTP. Some of the FTP sites also support FTPS, but none of the SFTP servers I happen to use support FTP(S). FTPS is just an extension to FTP protocol, but SFTP is its o...

I'm trying to use SFTP with hURL under MorphOS, but I get an "Unsupported protocol!" error. It seems that this protocol isn't enabled at all when listing the supported protocols with versioninfo. Is there a reason why it isn't enabled or should it be? This code... @REQUIRE "hurl" t=hurl.Versioninfo(...

is it possible to have more than one display with RappaGUI in a window? Yes. I am getting an error that "Error in line 31 (DispTest.hws): Could not find display 2!" I can't see that you'd created the display 2 there in your example code (.hws), that's why you can't select it. By default Hollywood c...

Hmpf... seems that something in my installed system triggers it. I tried to boot from live ISO image and it doesn't happen there, it's not about MorphOS versions. And I noticed one more detail on my installed system, if I have rebooted the machine, then it works with the very first try, but if I ico...

Interesting that StringToFile does work like that, copying the content of the info file and creates a new file with the same content. I though that stringtofile only worked with textfiles, but apearently it does more than that. Strings can also store binary data in Hollywood, there aren't any other...

I guess something like this should work in the most cases: @FILE 1, "my_drawer.info" Function p_MakeDir(path$, newdir$) newdir$ = TrimStr(newdir$, "/", True) Local fullpath$ = FullPath(path$, newdir$) If (HaveVolume(path$) Or Exists(path$)) And Not Exists(fullpath$) MakeDirectory(fullpath$) If Exist...

This is generally a bit problematic, because if you link your own drawer icons, then they won't be consistent with other icons in each system... To preserve consistency on users' system, you could try to copy a drawer icon from system's deficons, but that location might be different on different pla...

Hmm yea... it seems that Windows and Mac can't do menus in fullscreen mode. A bit shame because RNOPDF relies on menu usage... I made a small fix for that and re-uploaded Win/Mac archives. Didn't bother to re-implement everything in other ways, so fullscreen mode only has very basic controls now, yo...
