Subject: Suggestions
Hi,
  I'm kinda thinking out loud here. I'd like your opinions and observations,
please.
  I've had, for some time, a system that will print 'normal' text characters
to SCREEN 12 using 80cols x 30rows and capable of using any of the 256
attributes just like text mode. What I'm thinking about doing is expanding
upon this so I can save/restore the data on the screen in just 4800 bytes per
screen instead of 153,600 if it is stored as graphics.
  The theory is to keep 'copies' of the screens in memory as if they were a
text screens. This would allow quicker(?) and, most definitely, smaller saves
so a windowing system would be very easy on the available memory.
  Other benefits, of course, would be the mouse pointer, more 'room' on the
screen, pictures, graphs, pages, etc.
Watch'a think?
Am I spinning my wheels?
Any ideas on how to get this done easier?
TIA,

Just wondering: is it possible - at all - to include.OBJ's generated by
QuickBasic into a PowerBasic program?
When I try to include one, either by $linking the obj directly or by
creating a .PBL file with it first, I get an error 407 - too many segments.
Is there some way to work around this, or is it a dead end?

Subject: Re: OBJ files
Will not work. QP passed items much differently than PB (thinks everything
is in one segment) and PB allows many so it needs to pass information
differently. If you know exactly how things are passed, if BYVAL can do it,
you can trick PB into it, but it really is not worth it. And string can't be
converted, as PB is much more powerful and needs full addresses to the
string, as it is not just in one 64k area, but can be multiple areas.
 No, QB isn't powerful enough for PowerBASIC.

Subject: many characters on a screen
Hi,
Someone lately wrote he wanted to print many columns on a screen.
Since Powerbasic does not have a standard function to do this, Other
solutions must be found. The only way I know is to call a VESA function
through interrupt &h10
here's the source :
reg 1, &h4f02
reg 2, XXXX
call interrupt (&h10)
def seg = &hb800
poke$ 0,"H e l l o   W o r l d "
def seg
end
XXXX in this program must be substituted by one of the folowing numbers :
XXXX          resolution
108h          80x60 text
109h          132x25 text
10Ah          132x43 text
10Bh          132x50 text
10Ch          132x60 text
there are a few minor troubles though. First of all : not all video cards
allow you to use vesa modes. The second problem is that the Powerbasic
compiler doesn't know we changed the resolution of the screen, so even a
simple print probably won't work.
Whoever asked for it : good luck.
Wiebe.

I am having problem with my program when compiled using PB 3.5.  I compiled
my program using PB 3.5 and it appeared to run ok.  However, the report had
missing information.  Then I received an upgrade disk from PowerBasic Inc. I
installed the upgrade and compiled and now the program hangs up.  I compiled
it using PB 3.2 and it runs perfectly.  I had posted this before to find out
if anybody had experienced similar problem.  From lack of any other response,
I assume that I am the only one having problem.  I think I should stay with
PB 3.2 for a while.
Anyway, I appreciate your explanation for a larger EXE file.

Hi,
I have written a few progs with Qbasic.
Some of them need to lookup data and find an equivalence:
say , in a table with two fields Refno and Title,
lookup the Refno "12345" and retrieve Title  "War and Peace".
I do this using DATA and READ to build a DIM table then
run along down the DIM table till I find the Refno an dthen grab the Title.
This may be a slow way of doing things but I can find any other way.
So ...
Q1. Is there no way to have an Indexed file in Qbasic ?
Q2. Is there any other Basic that woul do the job OK without me having to
re-write my progs?

Seamus BROWNE <partage@wanadoo.fr> wrote:
A fairly straightforward way to do what you want is to maintain a sorted
index into your data file.  The data file would be stored as a RANDOM file,
and the index (also a RANDOM file) would contain the key and the record
number of the data record the key refers to.  As you add records, insert
their keys and record numbers into a sorted memory table of the new keys,
and at EOJ merge the old sorted index file with the sorted memory table,
creating an updated index.  As you delete records, mark their index records
as deleted, or remove them from the memory table as appropriate.  To find
a key do a binary search of the memory table first, then if the key is not
found, do a binary search of the index file.  When the key is found, use
the record number to retrieve the data record.  Except for the few seconds
it takes to merge the memory table with the old index, this is a very fast
and efficient solution.  Because the memory table will be limited in size,
you must force an index update to clear the memory table if so many records
are added that it overflows.
If the data records are not too large you can keep the whole data file in
sequence using this method, but you would have only one search key.  Using
index files, you can have multiple keys.  If the index file is not too
large, you can read the entire index into memory when the file is opened,
maintain the index in memory, and write it out to disk when you close the
file.
