Write your reply.

assistant: Oh, come on, aren't basic programmers known for spaghetti code <G>.
What would be faster, a large if..else if block?
This makes sense.  All I need to do is look at the output file to see which
speed I have the most connections for and adjust the select case statement
based upon that.
No, that's not needed.  All I need to do is create the file -- my Mailer
program (Intermail) automatically displays the file as it passes control from
it to the BBS software.
I downloaded that from CI$ this morning and will tinker with it later
night.
I have that book so I can always look in there.
Thanks for the tips!

Write your reply.

assistant: Does anyone out there know and understand hashing?
I got a file created by 'c++' that I am tring to read in and to
understand this hashing, but cannot seem to get anywhere with it...
Here are the specifics of the file:
Type UserIdx
  UserName AS STRING * 61
  RecordNumber AS LONG
END TYPE
My total record count 281 records. However, the UserIdx file that was
created with hashing stays at a constant of 4258865 bytes.
I asked the author about this "Hashing" and this was what he sent to
me.
=======================================================================
He Quotes to me:
Here's the source for that:
{
        LONG h;
        for (h = OL; *s; s++)
                h = (h * 256L + toupper(*s)) % 65521L;
        return h;
}
=======================================================================
I hope someone out there can help.. I looked everywhere in my
PowerBasic v3.2 manuals and cannot seem to find anything on this
"Hashing"... I hope this does not mean PowerBasic is limited when it
comes to this... :(
            Thanks in Advance!

essages,
Okay, got it.  Did you capture either ARDAF or LANSI?  I don't suspect
there will have to be another version of LANSI.BAS for a while, but I'm
open to suggestions with ARDAF.  I sped it up a bit already using ON x
GOSUB a, b, c rather than SELECT CASE x, and I'm sure there are other
areas that I could speed it up, so there may yet be a version 1.6.  I'm
also thinking of adding complex numbers, but I don't know if that
version will be public domain.

BTW, I've been thinking about writing a comprehensive FAQ for this echo.
I've written a few before, during my QuickBASIC days.  Would you think

It would cover topics as simple as "I want a better input routine" and
as complicated as "What is hashing" and "What are pointers good for in

        You are right!
        I think I use about 105% of my last upgrade, actually.  ;)
        But I see your point!
        It's funny that you should write this at the exact same time I
        have been considering writing a proposal for an "Advanced
        PowerBASIC Programming" book.
        My question -- how big is the PB programmer base that an
        advanced book will get any sales?  I need to know exactly how
        many registered PowerBASIC programmers there are, in the
        thousands, and then I need to multiply that by about 10% or so
        to get the "advanced" category -- and then I will know if
        writing such a book is worthwhile, since I'm not in this for the
        glory -- just the money.  I don't have the time to be a
        philanthropist any more.
        Just what topics would the intermediate to advanced programmer
        like to see covered?  I loved Ethan Winer's QuickBASIC book, but
        most of it applies to PB as well, so another such book in a PB
        flavor would be redundant.
        I was thinking of a book that walks the programmer through the
        design, analysis, and implementation of a mini pattern
        matching language interpreter, and at each step, the programmer
        learns not only how to program PB to the metal, but some
        computer science theory as well....
        So do I.  I'm a freelance editor and writer as well as a
        programmer, and believe me, the idea has come to me as well.
        As I say, it's just a matter of demographics for me.  I'm not
        going to write such a book on a wish and a dream.  I need to
        know the numbers, cold and hard, before I even write the
        proposal for such a book.

Right away I can tell you that using SELECT CASE will not give you the
best results as concerns speed, since the code skips over each entry in

common speeds on top, the least (300) on the bottom of the list.
Consider this code:

        SELECT CASE i
            CASE 1

Write your reply.

assistant: Some speed hints that I've come up with:
       1. Avoid SELECT CASE.  Use ON GOSUB in time CRITICAL loops.
        SELECT CASE is easier to read, but slower.  If you MUST use
        select case, put the most common hits at the top of the list,
        the less common ones at the bottom.
       2. Fold your constants manually.  Don't put 10*2 when 20 is what
        you mean, since the PB compiler does not fold.  Work long
        expressions out as much as you can to avoid slow code.
        3.Turn off all error handling in the final release.  Error
        checking (BOUNDS, etc) takes time.

I just thought I'd mention that I'll be hooked into the Internet full
force by the time you all get this.
My email addresses will be:
    ams@stage.lionsgate.com   (business related email)
    qjackson@direct.ca        (WWW, ftp, IRC, et cetera, non commercial)
I sure hope to get some use out of support@powerbasic.com!  ;)

    I'm beginning to wonder if anyone is using the code I post or
