- BasiCe Installation Instructions:
-
- A) Unpack files into an empty temporary directory on your PC
- The distribution file is a ZIP file for PC (winzip).
- Some of the files are long file names, so don't use pkunzip!
-
- 1) If you have an SH3 machine - (Casio, HP, Compaq, ...)
- remove the BASICEMIP.EXE file
- rename the BASICESH3.EXE file to BASICE.EXE
- 2) If you have a MIPS machine (Velo, NEC, ...)
- remove the BASICESH3.EXE file
- rename the BASICEMIP.EXE file to BASICE.EXE
-
- B) On the HPC
-
- 1) goto My Handheld PC directory
- 2) Create a folder called basice NOT BASICE!
- 3) go into basice folder
- 4) Create a folder called lib NOT LIB
- 5) Copy all the files ending with .utl to the lib directory
- 6) Copy grtest.bas and basice.exe to the basice directory
- 7) Copy basice.htp to the Windows directory on the HPC
- (this must go here with the other .htp files otherwise
- HELP will not work)
- If you don't put this file here, you will see a message

- Version 1.1a update 31JAN98
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- 1) Added RUN command which acts the same as GO (starts a program)
- 2) Fixed font width problem that showed up on some windows ce 2.0
- machines
- 3) Added capability to exit from basice from inside a program - added
- the EXIT statement
- 4) Added capability to create a load-and-go shortcut so you can create
- "canned" applications with basice.
-
- Create a short cut, open the properties page, select the
- shortcut tab. The Target field should read:
-
- "\basice\basice.exe"
-
- Change this to:
-
- "\basice\basice.exe" GO myprogram
-
- Then place your main program file in the \basice\lib directory
- as the file myprogram.utl
-
- \basice\basice\lib\myprogram.utl
-
- PROCEDURE myprogram
- !! put your program here
- ENDPROC
-
- 5) Added hot-key support to menus
- 6) Added RS232 communications support
-
- (REMEMBER: when you are connected to your desktop - the COM1 port
- is already in use and you will not be able to use it from BASICE!)
-
- !EXAMPLE CODE-- OPEN CHANNEL TO COM1 PORT --------------------
- CREATE "COM1:4800,N,8,1,H",2
-
- !EXAMPLE CODE-- CLOSE CHANNEL --
- CLOSE 2
-
- !EXAMPLE CODE-- COM1 OUTPUT
- PRINT #2, "Hello, World"
-
- !EXAMPLE CODE-- COM1 INPUT
- A%=COMCH(2)
- ! returns 0 if no character is available
-
-
- !------ EXAMPLE SIMPLE TERMINAL PROGRAM ------
- ! put this in the file \basice\lib\terminal.utl
- !
- ! Then, from the command line, you can type:
- ! GO terminal("COM1:9600,N,8,1,H")
- !
- procedure terminal(port$)
- open port$,1
- loop
- ! check input from rs232
- loop
- c%=comch%(1)
- while c%
- print chr$(c%);
- endloop
- ! check input from local kb
- loop
- k$=key$
- while k$ <> chr$(0)
- print #1, k$;
- endloop
- while k$ <> chr$(1) ! ctrl a
- endloop
- endproc
-
- 7) Fixed a bug which caused assignment translations to fail
- (missing routine in WINCE 1.x)
- You can now assign a string expression to a real variable:
-
- A#="1.23"
-
- This provides a simple way to convert from string to real data type.
