QBinux

Hello I've got some bad news, due to the migration to a new laptop... something went wrong and I lost most of the original QBinux source files, so basically, I had to return to the drawing table to rewrite QBinux. Yeah you wonder, why didn't you make a back up? Well, it was the backup that failed me...

QBinux

Hey all I know it's been silent... even the alpha-testers were silent... That's why for the first time in QBinux history, I'm releasing the alpha-release to the public... Also McClouth Software has moved servers. We're now hosted by Zoastertech; http://mcclouth.zoastertech.com . And there you'll be ...

Sorry for not replying before. I meanted to ask how Mac calculated the LEN of his TYPE's.

Nevertheless is your info, Ted, very handy though.

Thx for the replies guys!

Burger, that's really handy! Pats, also handy, and I'll try that one for sure!. Mac could you explain that type thing more? Basicially I do:

Code: Select all

size=sizeof(type.partype):size=size+sizeof(type.partype2)... etc
I'll keep you guys updated on the progress.

Hey Mystic

Well I could do that too, since I've already been working on some, like for example the bitshifting (with help ofcourse). I'll sit for that later today and write a C++ converting series... for PCOPY. Thx for the idea!!

I've fixed this by replacing some with DIM SHARED again. Only gotten a new problem. When I try to recompile the library, which used the same .bi-file... it gives error about all the COMMON SHARED... Any ideas on how to fix this?

I've contributed to QBE... but I think I could do another one for PCOPY. I know a nice one. I'm currently working on converting a C++ operator/function to QB, namely sizeof(). Well before I go storming off and tell the whole damn article down here, I'll do some more work on it, and write an article ...

thx for the reply. Okay basically sizeof() is suppose to return the bytes of the certain input. Now here's the tricky part, the input should either be a defined TYPE, an INTEGER, a LONG, a SINGLE, a DOUBLE, or a STRING. Nicest thing is, sizeof() is a build in OPERATOR/FUNCTION in C, so I can't get a...

sizeof()

I'm working on the sizeof() FUNCTION and I was wondering if you could do a FUNCTION <name> (x AS ANY) where x can really be anything, an integer, a string, etc.

Okay, it works. But now I'm stuck with a 'COMMON in Quick library too small'. I think I know what's causing this, but how to solve it? Does any one know.

Ok I'll give that a try. I do have to say that I have a .bi-file containing the DECLARE's, DIM SHARED's, CONST's, and $INCLUDEd it in all the modules.

I'm using a .mak to load in PDS. That goes all well. I have several things DIM SHARED or CONST, but alls those things aren't passed on somehow. Every file which I have loaded through .mak contains the '$include-thingy, but when running the code everything which has to be loaded into the DIM SHARED o...

My opinion be, keep QBE alive. It's one of the few still living newsletters in the Basic community. From what I've seen, there's not that much on Basic anymore... mostly Visual and all that.
