This is the first time I've ever downloaded code samples in rtf.
- cessor 12y agoI was confused by this, too. Also there are absolutely no imports. This leaves me really confused, wondering why why why anyone would ever do such a thing. I have two benevolent, understanding and sympathetic explanations: The author is from yesteryear and hasn't worked with other people in a while. The other one is: He is a genious hacker and knows how to social engineer most of hn. Since Most links point to the same rtf document it might just be a way to spread a very delicate RTF reader exploit..

- phpnode 12y agoopening the .rtf as text indicates the former, unless he's a super, super genius who can hide exploit code in plain sight.
- anateus 12y agoHe probably copy pasted the code from within NodeBox, which is what he's using.
- mpweiher 12y agoBack in the 90ies there was a version of NeXT's gcc that allowed RTF input. Quite neat, and I pretty sure I "downloaded" some sample code for it (probably via FTP...)
