Quoting LAWRENCE GORDON to BRANDON CARNAHAN: LG>How far along is the port over to PB? Maybe you can interest some LG>people in this echo? Chris Adams, for instance. The Basic code has been changed over and all we need really is the ASM stuff changed over. Then the problem of too many segments or over the 64k barrier has to be addressed. We could use the Q-Basic ASM stuff but PB creates a new segment for each OBJ file. So with 10+ Obj's and 8 Large *.BAS files that were the snag comes in. So in a nutshell we need to create just one segment from all the ASM/OBJ files and then probably 9 or 10 segments from the BAS ones. Due to the size of the BAS files a few have to be segmented or we run into the 64k barrier. That's were I run out of ability and have to rely on someone else to help. Dave N. Was going to look at the ASM stuff, which I sent him a while ago, but haven't heard back.

Is there any possibility of JT> coding a MAC version of a database program using PB v3.1 ? The only BASIC compiler I'm aware of for the MAC is QuickBASIC and Microsoft no longer supports it. In any event, QB/MAC probably won't work on the System 7 operating system. PB does not have a compiler compatible with the MAC (but maybe if there is a demand, BZ will consider doing one, especially now that the PowerPC\MAC looks like it will be a reality). * WCE 2.1G1/2081 * --- WILDMAIL!/WC v4.12 * Origin: Toast House * (314) 994-0312 * (1:100/560.0) --------------- FIDO MESSAGE AREA==> TOPIC: 214 POWER BASIC Ref: CAS00001 Date: 06/21/95 From: CHRIS ADAMS Time: 06:07pm \/To: LAWRENCE GORDON (Read 4 times) Subj: Example Code...

Supposedly calling int 28h in your polling loop will give up the time slice and speed things up. no registers to set just say call interrupt &h28. I'd be interested in knowing if that works as i don't have os/2 set up anywhere and no way to test it. eric --- QM v1.00 * Origin: Creekside Manor (805) 484-8016 CdCom Support BBS (1:206/2512.0)
