the "for the impatient" Squat demo on MacOSX
by Craig Latta 27 Mar '04

27 Mar '04

Hi-- Getting the web demo of Squat working on MacOSX is turning out to be tricky. Security is arguably better, and certainly different than on win32. :) On win32 I can rely (at least for the moment) on a request for an .exe file resulting in a choice for the user as to whether to run the file. This is how I run the Squat installer on win32, via a page which does an http-equiv refresh. MacOSX seems determined to prevent web browsers (or at least Safari) from running programs "automatically", with or without user confirmation. It seems the user must invoke programs manually from the command line (or a cron job, etc.) or the Finder. I have a small MacOSX disk image that will automatically transfer itself to the user's machine, but I don't know how to run programs in it without manual intervention on the part of the user, which is decidedly less demo-sexy. :) Any ideas? thanks, -C -- Craig Latta improvisational musical informaticist craig(a)netjam.org www.netjam.org [|] Proceed for Truth!

re: making the VM small
by Craig Latta 09 Mar '04

Oh, forgot to mention: at least on win32, I was able to make a 200k VM without any thought at all; I just removed all the plugins except for BitBlt, File, FloatArray, Security, and Misc (and kept those all internal). I'm sure none of those will be needed either... removing them raised some errors that I haven't even bothered to look at yet. -C -- Craig Latta improvisational musical informaticist craig(a)netjam.org www.netjam.org [|] Proceed for Truth!

Hi-- Here are two Squat projects that I won't get to myself for at least a month... - Make the debugger work remotely. - Make the virtual machine as small as possible. I'd be happy to lend advice for anyone who'd like to tackle these. thanks! -C -- Craig Latta improvisational musical informaticist craig(a)netjam.org www.netjam.org [|] Proceed for Truth!

Hi-- Squat 1a7 is available. Now, in the working snapshot, one can load modules. The test I used is Apprentice>>loadAModule. I'd be delighted to hear about bugs and feature suggestions. :) thanks, -C -- Craig Latta improvisational musical informaticist craig(a)netjam.org www.netjam.org [|] Proceed for Truth!
