ScriptBasic Users,

If your currently using ScriptBasic for any of your applications, utilities or hobby projects, please reply to this post. I really need to get an idea of the user base ScriptBasic currently has.

Based on this number of posts made by the forum members, I'm starting to wonder if I'm the only developer using the language.

This is important and please take the time to respond if you want to see ScriptBasic continue to evolve.

This means joining the forum if you haven't done so already.

Projects I'm willing to share what I've learned if there is interest in the language:

ScriptBasic Application Server - setup and application programming

GUI programming with ScriptBasic using the GTK-server extension module

I was able to get the GTK-Server ScriptBasic extension module running under CentOS 5 (Red Hat recompile) and it works great. If you convert your application to a standalone executable with the scriba -K option, there is no console interaction and the program runs just like any other binary executable. I was also successful at getting GTK-server to work with ScriptBasic under Windows as well. (same scripts run on both OS's)

I'm still confused why others are are not using ScriptBasic for their application development. Maybe it's a job security thing and the more code they write the more valuable the application must be.

I'm available for conversions of old legacy applications to either a browser or desktop environment. The result is that it won't cost you an arm and a leg and you will be able to maintain and enhance your application with in-house resources.

ScriptBasic is a mature / stable offering. It has 10 years of hard work invested by the author. I use it exclusively for all my utility scripting and web projects.

I think you will be very happy with ScriptBasic.


John

You could try using the CentOS  (Red Hat recompile) binaries I posted to the forum. I will try them on my Ubuntu VM and see if they work in the next few days.

SBHTTPD Users,

I'm having a issue with virtual directories under Windows 2003 server using Apache as the front end web server.

Under XP SP2 it works great. I proxy a directory and call it home in the scriba.conf file and define the sub-directories as virtual directories. Under Win2003, SB complains that it can't find code in the virtual directories.

Has anyone else seen this problem running under Win2003 server?

John

Norm,

I wonder if converting the array to a simple null string would release the memory.

John

P.S.

Sorry for the delayed response.  

I use ScriptBasic scripts on my Linux box to talk to a real estate (MLS) web service to get listing and photo data.

I'm currently working on a Aestiva HTMLOS conversion to the ScriptBasic Application Server. (sbhttpd w/Apache interface)

You might try to get your hands on VS7 and try the compile as that is what the make files are setup for.

BTW: The 2.1 release has everything compiled and ready to run for Windows. Unless you need to enhance the Basic, compiling the source isn't a requirement.

John

I assume your trying to compile under Windows XP?

Peter (author) compiled the distribution under VS7 if I remember correctly.

try setup --NT on your command line.
