This work is a logic extention of author's works on Refal-PHP System developing [1] (http://www.refal.net/~belous/). A grafical interface for Refal is proposed on the base
of popular syntactical editor SciTE.
1. What is SciTE?
It won't be overstatement to say that recently
developed textual editor SciTE (Scintilla Text Editor, http://www.scintilla.org/SciTE.html ) is conquering deserved admission on the basis of its
positive qualities. This Open Source developed Internet-project (author - Neil Hodgson) involved by now in its orbit almost a hundred of
voluntary assistants.
Fundamental advantages of SciTE:
quick-acting and compact (located at one floppy-disk),
cross-platform implementation (Windows+Unix+MAC),
syntactical understanding practically of all well-known programming languages, side by
side with HTML, XML, SQL
and other specific texts,
universal tunings,
font size efficient control (without any unnecessary “crawling”
all over menu).
SciTE has one more important peculiarity, which reduces it to
the integration tool of systems based on quite different languages. Namely, there is
provided the possibility of a command menu to be organize, including calls of that
systems, which you are operating with, and there is provided a window to organize a dialogue
with the system to be called. It's possible to control the form and characteristics of
this window with the help of universal tunings.
2. What is Refal-SciTE?
This is the compact system, including SciTE with built-in Refal-5 System. In spite of universal tunings provided by SciTE, for the full taking into account the specific character
of Refal language and
system a correction of avaliable modules and lexical analyzer programming in C++ had been required.
General view of the appearance of Refal-Scite is given by
followng screenshort with Refal-program at the moment of error message output.
3. Operating with
Refal-SciTE in INTRANET-environment
The Refal-SciTE installation procedure propose variants from minimal configuration (SciTE+Refal) to complete one (SciTE+Refal+PHP+MySQL+Apache). In the last case all necessary means are available to
develop and debug efficiently your programs with web technology use.
For instance, after running Refal-PHP System is documented by interactive manual with embedded
“alive” examples,
and from web technological view this documentation is a site, supported by Apache server. You can edit
web-pages of this site, including
examples, and supervise
immediately the results of this editing in local INTRANET-environment.
There are no any principal restrictions on application of this technology in global
INTERNET-environment also, except the maintenance of intensified security precotions. In
this case the careful tuning of PHP+MySQL+Apache is required, which is done usually by INTERNET-providers
at their server nodes.
Moreover you are not limited by only Refal and PHP
languages in
using of web technologies, as it can come in the first sight. Because of SciTE, you have available all programming languages practically
(about 40 by now). It means, that if you have installed corresponding implementation for
given language and have managed to tune it correctly, then SciTE will provide you with syntax support, compiling errors
processing and a dialog in time of program executing. For example, nobody can prevent you
from working with HTML, XML, SQL, Java, Ada, Pascal, Fortran.
Refal-SciTE System
and its components are free available.
4. Distribution and installation Refal-SciTE System
- Download and run self-extracting archives with installation procedure (Refal-SciTE-<version>-win32-install.exe
). Procedure is usual, asked questions are the same
: consent with license, permittion to locate icons, choice of
directory for installation.
- Start the installed application by
“Run” -> “Programs” -> “Refal-SciTE”
-> “RS-Start” (icon with white letter “R” on red background).
SciTE editor window
will appear with automatically called test example (example112.ref
– palindrome). You can execute it
immediately, pressing F5 (or acting via menu “Service -> Execute” ). The program will be compiled and executed, the results
will be demonstrated in right window, which is closed at first.
- If Refal-program has syntactical errors, then red
colour messages about them are put out in the right window. Pressing on F4 (or acting via
menu "Service -> Next Message") results in colouring yellow both of current
error message and of corresponding line of sourse text in the left window.
Interface is rather usual, intuitively clear and
doesn't require special explanation, but author's purpose includes, exept available full
SciTE documenlation for user, to give the brief description of such opportunities as text
editing and work with Refal-System (Russian and English versions), taking into
consideration Refal language specyfic. This documentation will be called by pressing on F1
key (Help).
