You know this is very close to the question I'd proposed in the first post. So it does seem good. I also recently saw some article about mathematica's awesome image processing capabilities so maybe this is a worthwhile tool to have around... i'll have to check it out. Thanks for the info, and let me know if you come across the calendar output.OK, I will.-vixay (December 25, 2008, 09:53 PM)
I checked it out, mathematica retails for $1,750, so it's not a good idea unless you already have access to it . However it does have a Free Mathematica player, maybe if you create a "notebook" we can play with it in the player? I don't know how it really works. But apparently you can publish apps in it.Yes, unfortunately it's not among the cheapest software. If you saw it somewhere for $1,750, that's still not bad since in their own online store it would be $2,495... (Fortunately I manged to get it few years before for the fraction of the original price, and since I just keep it upgraded as I use it for work.)-vixay (December 25, 2008, 09:53 PM)
Hmmm... that sounds great... how did you propose the question to mathematica? Will i have to learn a specialized syntax? Can you show the example above...The syntax would be easy: you want to have the first Sats from each month, you can use SelectDays[2009, {Saturday}, 1] or the one before the last one then SelectDays[2009, {Saturday}, -2] (as such -1 means the last one). The calendar output can also be solvable as my time permits. But I see iZeist could better be your choice.
also can it output a calendar with the dates highlighted?-vixay (December 25, 2008, 12:09 AM)
That depends on how many minutes they have sold.
Yes, I certainly do have UTF-8 support on the to-do list.Hahaa, it's there, really. Will give another try.-Boxer Software (January 07, 2008, 12:10 PM)
Programming languages should only accept US-ASCII for variable names etc., and imho shouldn't support any of UTF/UCS even for literal strings. It's plain evil. If you want internationalization, do the proper thing and use external files.Consider that the so-called 'internationalization' is interesting if your native/target language does not need any extra characters and to support other languages is an extra. But for those who develop software primarily not for English area (and for them to support e.g. English is an extra if they add it at all) then they do need UTF/Unicode. Of course, not for variables (even for me it seems useless) but for strings for sure. If you write some special stuff for a local company where everybody prefers one language only (and if it's not English) then you maybe don't want to be bothered by external resources.-f0dder (January 07, 2008, 06:37 PM)

So it's coming, but it's not "imminent."-Boxer Software (January 07, 2008, 12:10 PM)
Python does as well though, doesn't it?Yes, it does support (but does not require, of course).-tranglos (January 07, 2008, 11:57 AM)
Right... there's no UTF/Unicode support in Boxer at this time. Sorry.-Boxer Software (July 03, 2007, 10:10 AM)
I use Notepad++ too on Windows, but I would be lost without TextMate on OS X and I'd pay for it on Windows if it was available...-nontroppo (January 01, 2008, 06:08 AM)
