Spread your work out how you want it with sc. There are two views of the main sheet (green), and two sets (yellow and blue) of other sheets. Data enterened into any of the auxilliary sheets gets totaled and sent to the main sheet.

Chris Ahlstrom
Pretty cool. I assume you're using pipes to communicate between the sc's?

Sort of. I use @ext() mostly along with an update script that sends "@" to the window.

Example:

In main.sc, you might have

let F9 = @ston(@ext("sc -Wb16:b16 /home/anon/code/sc/otherin3.sc 2>/dev/null",0))

Then in the update script, there would be:

xdotool type --window <windowid>"@"

where <windowid>is the window id of the xterm running the main.sc

You can get the window id like this (the sleep is usually necessary, and varies with load time for whatever app):

anon@lowtide:~/code/sc$ cat testy #!/bin/bash xterm -title boo & sleep .25 windowid=$(xwininfo -tree -root |grep boo |awk '{print $1}') echo ${windowid} anon@lowtide:~/code/sc$

Here's an interestic fork of sc:

I tried out one fork of sc (not sure if that was it) and it turned out to be really buggy. I do like the idea that people are adding features to this great program.

Chris Ahlstrom
Cool stuff. I wonder if one can use Put function to write data to stdout, redirected to a named pipe (created by mkfifo) that the other instance(s) of sc would read from.

Don't really have time to experiment right now, though.
