- The PowerBASIC #2.10 upgrade includes disks, and a small "update" manual,
- labeled PowerBASIC "PowerPak". In about twelve pages, it summarizes all of the
- differences from #2.00, which are also enumerated in the help system. If you
- didn't get this book, you're certainly missing something. Of course, it
- appears you got another set of reference manuals instead. They should not have
- been included in the $19 upgrade, but you'll now have extras. If the small
- book is missing, please send an e-mail message to Tim at 71530,2640 and he'll
- see you get one. My apologies!

- Mike,
- That should work, but if you use the SHELL command, you will not have enough
- memory to compile larger files. My MAKE utility creates a batch file, which is
- run at the end of the program with the statement: EXECUTE "x.bat".
- If you have only that 1 project to worry about, with constant filename, but
- occasionally update them, you may want to just create a plain batch file to
- compile them. If they use units, use the MAKE utility in a batch file to
- insure that you only use up to date .pbu files. If you just compilie them at
- random, you might compile an .exe file first, using an old .pbu file.

- Al,
- Thanks for the reply. The system I was trying to compile
- has about a dozen units and 20 .exe modules. I was looking for
- a way to recompile all the .exes when a unit changed. SInce
- I use pbplus96 , I rarely run out of space. I will be
- downloading the MAKE pgm to test over the weekend. It sounds
- like a prettyr good program.
-
- Thanks --- Mike
-
- ps. I shelled to mapmem to see how much memory is lost and shelling
- to pbc loses 74K. There must be a way to make it smaller...
- Anyone..

- Bob,
- I also have ordered the new 2.10 update....but in addition, got something in
- the mail that includes a "library?" which will allow network compatible
- programs to be developed.
- Now.....the questions......the new upgrade include lock/unlock, etc. network
- type calls.....what does this new package offer that the new upgrade does not?
- And, can one get by without the $40 manual (although I know you guys need the
- money).

- Stop the presses! I hope it wasn't too confusing, but it's all one and the
- same thing! There is only ONE upgrade: PowerBASIC #2.10. It includes network
- support, and all of the other "goodies" we've mentioned before. If you are
- currently a PowerBASIC #2.00 user, the upgrade is $19.00. In that case, you
- DON'T need a new doc set, so please don't pay for it! The mailing you received
- went to Turbo Basic customers, as well as PowerBASIC users. An upgrade from
- Turbo Basic (at $59.00) would require a new doc set, but certainly not you.
- I'm very sorry if we didn't make this as clear as we should have. Just to set
- the record straight: If anyone orders the wrong upgrade by mistake, and pays
- $59.00 by mistake, just let us know and we'll arrange a prompt refund.

- Bob, etc..
- This problem came up while trying to rder a large flexstring array, but the
- code below shows the same thing. Shouldn't the output sort the final element?
- When I run this the order is BCDEFGA. However if I add 1 to the variable PARS
- in the ARRAY SORT command, it works fine.

- Fm: Mike Burns 71551,1353
- To: George Green 70565,276

- George,
- You DIM'd the array as 10. This actually gives elements
- 0 thru 11. When you created the array you you assigned
- values to elments 1 thru 7 (but not element zero). Later
- you sorted PARS elements (7 elements). The computer sorted the
- first 7 elements which happen to be elements 0 thru 6.
- (NOT elements 1 thru 7).
-
- To make your example work correctly change the dim to
- DIM PAR$(1:10)
-
- This will eliminate the zero element.
-
- Hope this helps --- Mike

- I think Mike already answered your question correctly, George, but let me
- clarify it a bit further. When you DIM VAR(10), you create an array of eleven
- elements, starting with VAR(0), through VAR(10). If you just alter the lower
- bound to one, as Mike suggested, [DIM VAR(1:10)], your program should run as
- you expect.

- Has anyone experienced the following problem with PowerBasic and the Turbo
- Database Toolboxes:
-
- I have a program that uses the Turbo Database Toolbox to add, edit
- delete and search an information database, however whenver I use the
- dbDelete routine, the program hangs after closing all files. It works
- correctly if I don't leave it or don't use the delete function.
-
- If you've seen this problem, I would appeciate your comments.
