## Nachricht vom 24.02.98 weitergeleitet

## Ersteller: Thomas Gohel@2:2410/330.1
Hallo gequ*ltes PowerBASIC folk,
ich habe heute von Kirschbaum das aktuelle Update zum PB/DLL 5.0 Compiler
bekommen, hier die Kurzfassung:
     - PB/DLL v5.0 installiert
     - IDE aufgerufen und WIN32API.INC geladen
     - als WIN32API.H sofort wieder abgespeichert
     - DCC gestartet
     - Datei WIN32API.H.BAS gefunden (erster sinnloser Aufschrei)
     - Datei WIN32API.H.BAS ist wieder nach 64k v*llig zerst*rt
     - Verzeichnis PBDLL50 gel*scht
     - Disketten in den M*lleimer geworfen ...
PS: Ich geb's auf ...

Hello Dave !!

Hello Dave!
I'm really not glad to write this mail to you, but the "editor" of the
PB/DLL v5.00 still contains a real and nasty bug:
   During the SAVE operation the Editor DESTROYS the complete source
   file or most parts of it - and this with nearly each source! It is
   NOT POSSIBLE to work with the Editor and the bug can be demonstrated
   and repeated any time!
Ok Dave, I think the description of the bug isn't new for you. Not to
mention that corresponding error reports had been removed from your
homepage.
And I know the bug since our German PowerBASIC meeting in August '97,
and two people of the this meeting have reported it to you. It makes me
very angry, that the actual PBDLL 5.0 version distributed in Germany still
contains this bug. And this after the long period since August ...
that's all Dave.

I've got pb 3.0a and 3.5. I've been using pbwiz as a library to tinker
with but now under 3.5 this library is useless and pblib cannot read
this library and therefore cannot extract the obj files in order to
recombine them under pblib 3.5. My question is... does anybody have a
way to do this under 3.5 or can somebody e-mail me pblib 3.2 ?

Thomas --
Sometimes you amaze me.  You apparently spend a very large portion of
your life offering nothing but derogatory criticism of PowerBASIC, but
you continue to buy PowerBASIC products (You do actually purchase them,
don't you?).  Regrettably, though, it seems you won't even lift your
finger to do something constructive, instead.  That is very sad.
If you know of a bug/error in the PowerBASIC editor, document it with
exact instructions to reproduce it and send it to us.  In fact, send it
to me personally (bob@powerbasic.com), and I'll review it.  So far, you
have refused to take that normal, logical step.  Thousands of our
customers use PB/DLL without a problem.  If you or your friend have
found some special circumstance, provide me with the exact details and
we'll try to reproduce it.  Then, if it really is a problem, we'll
correct it.  If it isn't, we'll tell you what you're doing wrong.  Up to
today, we have not been able to reproduce any error such as you describe
so vaguely.  Consequently, unless you begin to cooperate, it is not
possible to help you.

Seamus BROWNE wrote:
How many rows do you have in the table? Unless it is large, your method
is pretty good. Reason is that searching a DIM table in memory is very
fast compared with reading a disk file.
You could sort the rows in the table in "refno" order and do a binary
search for a match: that would speed up the program.
Or you could use a "hash" table:
1) DIM the table so it is the next prime number, say aprime, larger than
the amount of data that you have,
2) READ the inputs and store each of them into the row numbered MOD(
refno,  aprime). This will sometimes cause 2 or more refno's to go to
the same row. This is called a "collision". To handle collisions, if a
row is already occuppied, then search forward until an empty row is
found and put the record there.
To search the hash table:
1) compute row = Mod(refno1, aprime)
2) go to that row and get it's refno,
3) if refno=refno1 then you've found the correct row,
4) otherwise search forward looking for a match to refno.
BTW if, when you search forward, you get to the end of the table, you
"wrap around" to the start of the table.
A hash table can be very quick. If "aprime" is large, then the table is
sparsely populated and you usually get a "hit" on the first attempt.

The PBWiz Library must be RECOMPILED under PB 3.5 because PB made some

the reason your old LIBs don't work. When I recompiled PBWiz in PB 3.5
all my problems went away. Of course you need to be sure you're using

1. Has anybody been using DRDOS (formerly OpenDOS) with PB and if so,
are there any caveats? (My own initial testing hasn't turned up any
problems.)
2. Has anybody tried their embedded OS option and how did it work out?
(Can you see the gears turning in my head?)
3. Linux or Unix Certification - how do you get it? (Duh...)
4. Just in case Dave Navarro (or one of his PB associates) sees this,
are there any plans for a Unix or Linux PB? (Is this a stupid question?)
