Wanted - "Updater" software, standalone, open source
« on: January 06, 2017, 10:13:26 AM »
Who can recommend an "Updater-software" for Lisp / OpenDCL / DosLIB apps which should to what an Updater does:
  • The users starts the software / app
  • It checks the PC and a web-server
  • It does the update, if necessary

It should be Standalone and open-source.
I'm sure there a some apps for it, but also good experience with AutoCAD / Lisp would be fine.

Have a fine weekend!

I am basing this on a Autocad solution, you can open a remote server and do normal file stuff so you could check versions on pc and download / replace. I will try to find an example for you, it was posted at Cadtutor as the poster wanted to do the same thing.

Hi @BIGAL

the software works fine, but the code (see entire code in the link above)

Code: [Select]
(foreach byte tbl
    (vlax-invoke fic 'write (vl-list->string (list byte))) ; Bits to String
)

is rather slow. It is not really urgent, but any ideas to increase the speed?

Thanks and regards

Peter

What is the reason for not using vla-getremotefile?

No specific reason - I started with the linked code, this area is new for me ...
Every good / better / faster solution is appreciated.
(Interesting: there are no postings with vla-getremotefile here, except of this thread)
