VelVet 2008 - Breeding/growing free Software

velvetine · #1 04-19-2008, 05:03 AM

So i'm posting here about my software VelVet

The first was done in 2002, and it was mainly a grow-diary, but was not perfect to my mind. Anyway i recorded 20.000 downloads.

I've just did a new version, especially for people wanting to make a complete follow-up of its selections, its crosses, its plants, its stems, seeds and the other plants mothers , clones or cuttings.

The files are saved as a .str or a png image, this file can be shared/exchanged with friends, or with other growers/farmers, when sending them a strain for testing as new variety/plant.

VelVet2008 is coded in Rebol, the code source is thus completely and fully legible, and he can be used under 40 different OS (windows, linux, mac, ...).

the link !
it's here --> V e l V e t 2 0 0 8 - Home

French and English version are available actually, and it's, of course, freeware ^^

i hope u will enjoy my tool

Thanx to my sponsor : Bluehemp seeds , Darwin seeds , and Sensi Seeds

Cheers ^^

the most thing i'd be worried about is if it's a virus or somethin

well, i downloaded it, looks interesting. will check it out in further detail later on. im very unorganized, so hopefully this will help a little.

in velvet 2002 it was an .EXE so a virus was possible, sadly ...

But this time it's impossible, because it's a script file, fully readable, it's not compiled.
Just download the zip file, take the velvet2008.r (u can read it in a notepad), and run it using rebview (available freely on rebol website).

and you are done, no virus because it's a 'open source script', and it can be run on 40 different OS.

i'm not a fucker

just a breeder/coder ^^

you should do a sort of tutorial showing what all the program can do and kinda explain how to use it some

I have used this and it is fantastic! No virus or spyware, just a great program. It is very powerful, and I don't even make full use of all the features.

Try it folks!

Thanks Velvetine. People here are using your program as it occasionally is mentioned in threads.

a tutorial ... why not

but people knowing how to grow and to breed will know how to use the software, and i'm here for answering if problems

Picasso345 i'm happy to see a velvet2008 user so enthusiast

My idea was to make a sort of universal "strain-file-exchange" format. And so it becomes easy to share strains and clones, and in the same time sending by email.
A great job will be a website with many .str files.

cheers
