[NF] Looking for Alpha 5 (Alpha Anywhere) users
by Mike Copeland 08 Sep '16

08 Sep '16

I know I've seen posts on here from at least one user of Alpha XBasic software. I'm now on day 15 of my 30 day trial and have a few generic questions... Stuff like: Is Alpha Anywhere mostly about Javascript/HTML5 and brings along the XBasic and Alpha5 infrastructure as a freebie? Or is the Alpha5 XBasic more integral and important than it seems to be. (It seems most tasks are accomplished with Javascript.) Is the Client/Server version ($2500 year) worth the extra $1k over the basic package, or can the server functions be accomplished in other ways? I have a copy of and have used FoxWeb, which has always seemed clunky, but it works. Could that be used in place of the Alpha Anywhere Client/Server or is that a false savings? Is the Alpha Anywhere documentation as bad as I think it is? Or am I just acting my age ("You kids! Get off my lawn!") And a few other tidbits. I'd be happy to take this off-list if it produces too much noise for everyone, but then maybe some others would find the info useful...I dunno. Thanks for any responses. Mike Copeland

[NF] Getting Outlook 365/win10 to talk to GMail
by Ted Roche 08 Sep '16

08 Sep '16

Stupid computers. Stupid competing software companies. Trying to get a client's Outlook to talk with GMail. I've done this a hundred times before on various versions of Outlook, T-Bird, and real mail clients, but this one's kicking my butt. Email: clientsname(a)clientsdomain.com PW: XXXXXXXXX - confirmed via the web interface to GMail. IMAP enabled on the gmail settings page. In Outlook, add an account imap.gmail.com, port 993, SSL smtp.gmail.com, port 587 or 465, SSL or TLS or Auto, tried all six combos. clientsname(a)clientsdomain.com, password retyped 100 times or so. SPA Authentication tried on and off, no joy. Always presented with a login dialog, and Outlook reports it cannot connect. I remember there is always a weird tweak to the combination of settings to get this to work. IIRC there's a trick to where you are supposed to add the account credentials and where you don't, and I think I've tried all the combos, although it does approach an m^n problem... Lots of cheatsheets dated 2013 and earlier, which I suspect are out of date. Any suggestions on what else to try? -- Ted Roche Ted Roche & Associates, LLC http://www.tedroche.com

Dear List Members: Nothing since the 2nd. 1) The list could be down. Possibly. 2) The list members could be a bunch of slackers. Possibly, but not likely. 3) Labour Day weekend. A mild form of #2. Could be. Let's find out. I enjoyed mine quietly. So did you, or at least, you did not post about it here. Sincerely, Gene Wirchenko

Profox stats?
by Ted Roche 02 Sep '16

02 Sep '16

We usually see Profox stats on the 1st of the month. I saw ProPython, but not ProLinux nor ProFox. Checked the spam filters, and the online archives. Problem? -- Ted Roche Ted Roche & Associates, LLC http://www.tedroche.com

>MS has some of the best software testing processes in the software >world, but the increasing complexity of their environment is making it >harder and harder to get it 100% right. Right. This isn't the B&D Apple environment, or the relatively limited range of cell phones and tablets. This is the open "PC clone" environment, where many, many combinations of issues are possible and cannot all be tested. This is the primary reason why the forced/cumulative update approach cannot be used with Windows. People don't complain about having updates shoved down their throats for iPhones and such because it works there. It doesn't work here, and it can never work here. It's not because MS are a bunch of screw-ups; it's because the task is far more complex in this setting. I think they're in serious danger of completely trashing the good will and, for lack of a better term, "trust", that they've built up among most of their non-techie customers if they don't reverse this soon.
