- Thanks Barry,
-
- The graphics question was jus a curiosity. I realize that the apps won't run
- without an 8087 if I use the FP87 library but since I do not let them in the
- door without a co-processor that doesn't matter. (Like I said in the first
- message 80x87 is not an OPTION.) I use 43 line mode most of the time (even in
- DOS) but I can probably live without it to get a compile and link.

- I think this is more of a system problem rather than a PB problem. I am
- ttrying to write a PB routine to dial a phone number on an internal modem card.
- I use the card configured as COM2: all the time with PROCOMM. However when I
- try to open COM2: from PB I get an error 68 - device un available. When I open
- COM1: I get a device timeout (which I would expect as there is nothing on that
- port).
-
- Maybe this problem is unique to my 80386 machine. However, I don't under
- sstand why PROCOMM can "see" COM2: and PB can't.
-
- Anybody have any ideas?

- Harry,
- you don't have a NEC machine, do you? Reason I ask is I found that it has a
- non true com port.
- The device timeout can be gotten around with
- Open "Com1:9600,N,7,1,rs,cs0,ds0,cd0" as #32 len 1
- Then, there is not need for a on error for the com port.
- As far as your com port 2 goes... using procom, select Alt-S and ComPort. Then
- Port Addresses... Tell us what the address for port 2 is..It should be 2F8

- Bob,
-
- Can you give me a little more info on returning values that require use of the
- 80x87 top of stack register from an .asm program when no 80x87 is present? Can
- it currently be done? Will we be able to do it sometime in the future? Will I

- Brett--
- If you are compiling for an 8087, it poses no problem at all. However,
- without one, it's much tougher. While PowerBASIC will recognize and execute
- emulated 8087 opcodes just fine, the linker does not supply the "fixup"
- constants required to "fixup" the emulation codes expected by some assemblers
- (notably TASM/MASM). For now, there are two possibilities: 1. Hard code the
- emulation opcodes in your assembler code (using db's) or 2. return the floating
- point value in a parameter to the SUB/FUNCTION. We will be adding these fixup
- constants in the next version of PowerBASIC. As to the lottery, I've heard it's
- a sure thing when you promise to share the winnings with the folks around here

- Barry, Thanks for the reply. I don't have a NEC machine-- I have a Micronics
- motherboard in a clone-like machine.
-
- Procomm indeed shows that COM2: is at base address 0x2F8 with IRQ3. COM1: is
- shown at 0x3F8 with IRQ4.
-
- I use PROCOMM on COM2: to communicate with this BB. I've tried my code with
- various permutations but always get an error 68 when attempting to open COM2:
-
- If no one else has seen this, I'll try my modem card in another machine.
-
- Thanks again, Harry

- Harry,
- Com2 should not be a problem for you since 2f8 and irq3 are the standards and
- that is exactuly what mine is. I do a Open "Com2:9600,n,8,1,rs,cs0,ds0,cd0" as
- ComNum Len = 1" I two program I use.
- Could you double check this again... you are using 2.00b, aren't you?

- Sb: #DELKEY problem
- Fm: George Green 70565,276
- To: Sysop/all (X)
-
- Barry, Bob, Tim, Anyone...
-
- Here's a liitle problem I can't seem to get past involving Barry's
- FINDFILE/FINDNEXT unit and DELKEY.BOX from the TBASIC database toolkit:
-
- I originally wrote a program in TB that reads-in all files with a certain
- extension to upgrade a large data-base. Barry's Find...Next routine is
- used to fetch the source files. Sometimes the source files are
- ment to delete the data they contain from within the data-base. This
- option is selected at run-time. The delete option works fine in its
- original TURBO BASIC form but crashes in DELKEY.BOX, Sub Deletekey at
- line 132 (below)...
-
- dbCurBf(DataSet) = dbCurBf
-
-
- ...with error 9, subscript out of range.
-
- The only difference between the TB and PV versions is I've converted
- the findfile/findnext functions that were in the TB sig to the unit
- version that is in this sig. I've used Barry's unit file in other programs
- with no problems ('tho none use the delete key sub).
-
- If I'm not deleting something from the data-base, such as adding or
- checking for files, there's no problem. I've applied the toolkit
- patches from Tim, and both the fix files for the compiler.
-
- Any ideas?...George Green

- George,
- Is DBCurBf DIMmed AND Either Shared (if not passed between units) or PUBLIC(in
- the main) AND EXTERNAL (in a unit) if used within a Unit? That should be the
- only readon for this and also check for the right type... dbCurBf%(dataSet%)
- should be used IF you do not have a DEFINT a-z statement in there. If you do
- have a Defint a-z, make sure it is before anything else that may need it.
