Hi All,

I received an invitiation to join so i thought I'd pop in. I'm based
in Sydney and run a forensic technology practice where we analyse
electronic data (computer, enterprise networks, email systems,
databases etc.) to either find out what somebody has done, such as
theft of electronic IP, or to find information supporting litigation
so that it can be produced in court.

RealStudio is one of the tools we use to develop applications to help
us do this. For example, we may need to search a fileserver for every
Word and Excel document and extract the metadata from the documents
into a CSV for later analysis. Or we may need to develop an
application to analyse unstructured binary data on a hard disk drive
looking for deleted HTML web pages. It's a real advantage being able
to put together a GUI and semi-working application fast.

We also use other languages such as Delphi, C++ and C# as well as some
database specific languages such as SQL. I also study Astronomy in my
spare time and I intend to use RealStudio to develop a graphical model
of the solar system (I can't wait to start this!).

Cheers

Mark

Hi all

seems that there is only the five of us.
We seem to be from all parts of Sydney, all doing different things.
This means, that potentially we can learn a lot from each other.

I suggest we get together for an initial meeting over a pizza and take it from there.

I am available during the day as well as evenings, but I leave next Wednesday for about
16 days.

I suggest Coffee Warehouse and Deli


in North Strathfield, but I am open to all suggestions.

Let me know what you think and suggest a date

Cheers

Gerd

Once you have a date, I can email that to my australian clients :-)

Hi, although I mainly use Objective-C, I use RealBasic for utility
projects, and hope to use it for a website in the new year.
I've been using it since Matt Neuberg put his first RealBasic book
out, which I guess is around 10 years ago now.
I'm fairly flexible as far as meeting times and places (I'm located in
Paddington) are concerned, but would prefer to avoid Tuesday nights
and Sunday mornings if possible.
Regards,
Raoul Moore.

Hi everyone,

I'm new to RB, but I've been programming for 15 years, mostly VFP and
VB and since I made the
switch to Mac, I've been working in FileMaker.
It is good to see a local group here in Sydney.
I'm based in Newington and I work in Homebush.

Cheers,

Martin

Hi,
how do I remove this post? I was a noob and I didn't know that this group is publicised and freely searchable on Google.

Please remove my posts if you are the owner of the group or moderator.

Regards.

Hi all,

I'm not in Sydney but actually in Adelaide and I know there's probably not enough RB users to form an Adelaide group. Just to introduce myself, my name is Yin, I'm a developer for Institute of Medicine and Veterinary Science.  I only have commercial experience for 5 years but have been programming since i was 10. My programming background is mostly Java and .NET and only programmed in RB/Realstudio for 1 year.

Just in a bit of a problem and in need of some suggestion(s)/ solutions/ help. I'll give a brief background what my RB/S program does.

Purpose:  The RB client connects to our EDI (electronic data interchange) to allow external medical clinics/ labs to download secure pathology results. Version 1.00 was developed as a single client that allows a single doctor to download results straight to his/her PC. This was a problem later that it is based on clinical sites not by doctor so there is a one to many relationship - i.e one site has multiple doctors who wants to receive multiple results for each doctor.  The single user client would not work for each doctor as the client uses GPG to decrypt pathology results. (secret key stored in our IMVS key server). This can only be setup for ONE clinical site (with multiple doctors). So installing this single client on each doctor's PC will overwrite each others' GPG key pairs.

Solution: Version 2.00 - i have rebuilt the single client into a client-server framework software. This allows the 'server' (service for windows and daemon for mac/linux) that will only generate the GPG keys once and will receive all pathology results on all doctors' behalf based on one single clinical site setup. So the client is installed on every doctors' PC which then connects to the Server (via autodiscovery UDP and then connect via TCP).

The above works perfect.

Problem:  There are roughly over 1000 clinical sites (clinics / hospitals) around SA who uses this and 1 in 5  uses Windows 2008 R2 or Small Business Server 2008 have had problems installing.  I have figured that it was due to security reasons. Since the service uses an external program (GPG.exe) to generate the keys on first install, Windows 2008/SBS detects this as some kind of worm or malware (I assume) then it won't allow to execute it.  Basically, you can launch a program with UAC access or under Admin, but the program itself cannot use the "shell" class to launch another exe with no errors generate.  I can launch the exe by itself but not through the RB shell inside the service.

I was unsuccessful in replicating this problem on my own setup of Windows 2008.  I've tried disabling the client's antivirus setup, and could not think of what might be the cause.I'm hinting at Active Directory/ Domain services setup that may cause this issue.

Possible Fix: I was considering using a Windows API call with a method called "CreateProcess" or "CreateUserProcess" - this will create the process to call the actual gpg.exe so that it's called under the user instead of being launched via a function call from a RB application.

Can anybody else suggest anything or know what the real/main cause of problem is?


Thanks for reading.

Cheers,

Yin.
