WISP (Whole Instruction Serial Processor) Version 3.0 A new INTERPRETER For IBM and compatible computers. (C) 1990 Sitting Duck Software POBox 130 Veneta, OR 97487 All rights reserved. WISP (Whole Instruction Serial Processor) Version 3.0 An INTERPRETER by Sitting Duck Software WISP, as does any interpreter, loads a text file containing commands which it can recognize and act upon. The loaded text file will be a PROGRAM which you will write. WISP is similar to the BASIC interpreter but has a command structure which has been specifically designed to eliminate most of the coding needed to accomplish certain tasks and the goals of the programmer. WISP is also similar in some respects to PILOT but has a more intuitive syntax and many commands not available with PILOT. WISP.EXE is only about 25K in size (before compression) and is designed to be distributed, along with a program file, on a floppy disc. For an interpreter to be of such diminutive size requires a limited command set. Given the below described uses of the program allowed us to forego many of the commands found in other languages. For example, WISP will not perform any math, not even 2+2. Neither are there any graphics, looping, data, printing and, hold on to your hat, there is no error checking whatsoever. When WISP acts upon a line of code, it presumes it to be PERFECT! Because of the limited instruction set, opportunities are provided to SHELL from WISP and run other programs or batch files. Proper use of WISP will allow you to perform a number of different tasks with a minimum of programming effort and a relatively short learning curve. The following represent some of the tasks that WISP was designed to do: - CATALOGS - MENUING SYSTEMS - INSTALLATION PROGRAMS - SLIDE SHOWS - INSTRUCTION - INTERACTIVE TUTORIALS - DEMONSTRATIONS - MENU DRIVEN, MULTIPLE CHOICE TESTING - MENU DRIVEN, TRUE-FALSE TESTING - BATCH FILES PROCESSING The WISP command set does not allow for the execution of normal DOS batch file commands although WISP does provide it's own implementation of some of DOS's features such as clearing the screen and changing drives or directories. Any DOS command that WISP cannot handle can be performed by SHELLing from WISP. The command for loading and running a WISP program is: WISP FILENAME Where FILENAME is the name of a program file (which you write) with the .WSP extension. The extension .WSP is not used when running WISP. For one of the demonstration programs on the accompanying disc, the program file is -MAIN.WSP. To run the demo, type: WISP -MAIN WISP loads itself then loads the program -MAIN.WSP into memory. WISP will then process the commands within the program file IF it recognizes the command. From within WISP and it's loaded file, you can run other programs, display text in a number of different ways, create single or nested menuing systems, control the screen colors, draw boxes, load a previously saved screen, change drives and directories, and retain desirable control over these activities by way of the GOTO and MENU commands. WISP.EXE is less than 10K in size and will, thereby, take up little of your disk space and load rapidly. You may locate WISP anywhere, including a RAM disk, and establish a path to it. WISP and the required program file are generally small enough to be used with 360K floppy diskettes. You should make hard copies of all the .WSP files; they will be helpful in explaining the structure and syntax of WISP commands. THE WISP EDITOR AND ENVIRONMENT In order to make it easy to write and test your WISP programs, you can run WISPED. WISPED is an editing environment from which you can compose, save and test run your WISP programs. WISPED is also an interpreter and is almost identical to WISP except that it contains a line editor and provides a limited amount of syntax checking. After you are sure that your program functions perfectly and needs no further editing, use WISP rather than WISPED to run the file. Typing: WISPED TESTFILE from the DOS command line, runs WISPED and loads in the file TESTFILE. If TESTFILE does not yet exist you will be presented with a blank screen. If the file already exists, it will be loaded in, ready for editing. You will probably want to load -MAIN.WSP into the editor a play around with it; make sure you have a backup copy. Currently, WISPED does enough syntax checking to keep your programs from locking up your machine. An upcoming enhancement will provide for more extensive syntax checking. The maximum number of lines in any WISP program file is limited to 1990; more than enough to accomplish the purposes for which WISP has been designed. The first line of the file is reserved for use of the editor. You may put the cursor on this line and press <ENTER> in order to insert a new line at the top of your program file. Each line of the program can contain one, and only one, command. The line you wish to edit is selected with the up and down cursor keys. The HOME, END, INSERT, BACKSPACE and DELETE keys allow you to navigate and edit the highlit line. PageUp and PageDown move you forward or backward in the file, in 15 line increments. EDITOR COMMANDS <ALT><1> Copies the highlit line into a holding area. <ALT><2> Copies the contents of the holding area to the highlit line. <F1> Displays the proper syntax of the available WISP commands at the bottom of the screen. Use the up and down cursor keys to scroll through the syntax list. You may transfer the entire syntax line into your program by pressing <F1> or you can type the line in manually. If you transfer the command, you will have to edit it in order to insert your parameters. Press <ESC> to exit the syntax display. Along with the syntax of existing commands, the syntax list contains probable commands for enhancements which are being considered. <F2> Displays the amount of character space remaining in your program. Generally, you will run out of lines before running out of character space. <F3> Save to disc the program you are working on. After you edit a program file, you SHOULD save it to disc before running it. If the program crashes and you have not saved your work, you may have to do it all over. <F4> Helps you locate words or groups of words in your file. Just follow the displayed prompts. ^<F5> Sends the program file to your printer via port #1. <F6> RUNS the program. <F7> Toggles the INSERT/OVERSTRIKE mode for the line editor. This may be temporarily over-ridden by pressing the INSERT key. <F8> Deletes the highlit line and moves the following lines up one place. <F9> Toggles syntax checking on and off. <F10> Displays a handy chart of the extended ASCII characters and all of the 255 possible color combinations available to use with the the program statements requiring requiring a COLOR value. <ESC> Exits WISPED. You must manually save a modified file before exiting if you wish to keep the changes. No warning is given if you have not saved your work. <ENTER> Inserts a line below the highlit line and moves the following lines down one place. The following is a summary of the rules and commands recognized by WISP. INDENTATION- Any command or text may be intended for readability and style. Line numbers or labels may not be indented. CASE - All commands may be in either upper or lower case. Text is displayed in the case in which it is written. SEPARATORS - 1. The ONLY legal command separator is the slash (/). 2. Text for BLOCKPRINT must not contain a /. 3. Text for a MENU choice must not contain a /. REMARKS & - 1. A { left brace indicates a remark. THE LEFT 2. A { must not precede a command. BRACE 3. A { must precede a remark. 4. A remark must not contain a / (slash). 5. Text within a command must not contain a { or a / . PRINT/5/9/{Hello/31 is not allowed. WISPED loads in the entire program file, including remarks. WISP, having no use for remarks, does not load in any file line characters which follow the left brace. FILE SIZE - The file which WISP loads may contain as many as 1990 lines of text, which is more than adequate for the intended use. EDITING - You do not have to compose your programs with WISPED. Any word processor able to save in ASCII format is suitable. However, you should test your programs with WISPED to find any syntax errors. RESIDENCY - WISP is not a TSR program and will not cause any of the problems that TSRs often do. ANSI - WISP does NOT require the loading of ANSI.SYS to make full use of color. COMPILATION- Text files written for use with WISP do not require compiling. ERRORS - In order to keep WISP.EXE small and as fast as possible, no error checking is performed on the program file which it loads. It will be up to YOU to ensure the proper syntax and usage of the WISP commands. ECHO - Proper use of WISP commands will allow you to avoid the pesky DOS ECHO command if you plan to do a lot of SHELLing. SHELL - Shelling is not altogether reliable in DOS Versions 2.xx and you should avoid shelling unless you have V3.0 or later. SCREEN MODE - WISP currently supports only 25 line, 80 column text screens. LINE NUMBERS- Line numbers must be placed flush left. Line numbers that are not flush left will be placed so during syntax checking. LINE LABELS - Line labels must begin with :: (a pair of colons) and cannot contain a "/" or a "{". Line labels, if not flush left, will be placed so during syntax checking. BLANK LINES - There are no blank lines in a WISP program. Blank lines are purged during syntax checking and again when the file is saved. EXITING - Exiting a WISP program cannot be accomplished unless you allow for it by either; providing a menu choice as we did in the -MAIN demonstration program OR, using the BREAK command described in the syntax section on the following pages. STRUCTURE - A WISP program can be structured in a number of different ways and the method you select should be based on personal preference. There are two basic structural forms, INLINE and SUB-PROCEDURE. INLINE * Program code may be completely INLINE. The following is an example of INLINE coding: ::Main Menu {comments OK on this line MENU/ TITLE /4/1/1/112/78/78/0/S Choice A= Choice B= Choice C= Choice D= {an escape route! 1 Perform all the activities Choice A requires (may be many lines of code) GOTO/Main Menu 2 Perform all the activities Choice B requires (may be many lines of code) GOTO/Main Menu 3 Perform all the activities Choice C requires (may be many lines of code) GOTO/Main Menu {comments are NOT OK on this line! 4 CLS/7 CURSORON LEAVE SUBS * Sub procedures can make the program easier to read as in the following example: ::Main Menu MENU/ TITLE /4/1/1/112/78/78/0/S Choice A= Choice B= Choice C= Choice D= 1 GOTO/Choice A 2 GOTO/Choice B 3 GOTO/Choice C 4 CLS/7 CURSORON LEAVE ::Choice A Perform all the activities Choice A requires GOTO/Main Menu ::Choice B Perform all the activities Choice B requires GOTO/Main Menu ::Choice C Perform all the activities Choice C requires GOTO/Main Menu For a simple, one menu program, the INLINE code would probably be preferable. With multiple menus, the SUBS format might be easier. 1 FILE Using a single file for an entire program ensures the fastest execution speed at the possible expense of program readibility. If your program needs to be very large, the single file method will be of little value. 2+ FILES There are two alternatives to having a single large program; have several smaller programs that can run each other via the L-RUN command. This is illustrated in the program series -FILE1/FILE2/FILE3 which is started by typing: WISP -FILE1. The second alternative is to have separate files for each page of text and use the DSPF command to display them. This is illustrated in the -MAIN.WSP program and is our preferred choice unless there is a compelling reason to do otherwise. WISPED is not suitable for writing these text files; use a Word Processor or text editor, saving in ASCII. -----------------Command syntax, examples and descriptions-------------------- NOTE: Only one command per line! BOX/BR/BC/ER/EC/CHR/COLOR/C/S Draws a BOX where BR is the beginning row, BC the beginning column, ER the ending row, and EC the ending column where BR<ER and BC<EC. CHR is either a 1 or 2 indicating a single or double line box. COLOR is a single value representing the foreground and background colors. See the Single Color Chart elsewhere in the documentation. Appending a /C to the argument clears the inside of the box to the color specified by COLOR. Append a /S if you wish the box to cast a shadow. *CAPTION/F/ROW/COLUMN/COLOR A probable future enhancement. Will control captioning. Captioning would be a line of text that would always be displayed on all screens when the F flag is set; useful for having a company name or message always visible without continuously re-printing it. CURSOROFF Turns the cursor off. If you find yourself at the DOS prompt without a cursor, simply type: WISPED CURSORON CURSORON Turns the cursor on. If you turn the cursor off, remember to turn it back on before leaving WISP. DSPF/FILENAME/ROW/COLUMN/COLOR Displays the text file FILENAME at Row, Column in color COLOR. The file must be an ASCII text file, 22 lines maximum. If the file is shorter than 22 lines it will display that which is available, if longer it will be truncated to 22 lines. The EOF marker will not be displayed. Text files are smaller than BLOADable files but are confined to one color combination. FILENAME may contain a drive and path. Example: DSPF/C:\BUSINESS\FILEA.WSP/2/2/31 FILLSCRN/BR/BC/ER/EC/COLOR/ASCII Fills a screen area defined by BR, BC, ER and EC with the character ASCII in the color COLOR. To clear the screen use 32 for ASCII. Example: FILLSCRN/10/10/15/75/31/43 Fills an area of the screen bounded by row 10 column 10 and row 15 column 75 with bright white on blue, plus signs. *GOSUB/LINELABEL A probable future enhancement. *RETURN A matching return statement. Gosubs will not be nestable. IFKEYHIT/ASCII/LINE# Compares the ASCII value of the key pressed in response to the WAIT statement against ASCII. If the values match program control is transferred to LINE#. You must create a loop to handle non-matching variables. 1 . . Example: 10 WAIT IFKEYHIT/27/99 IFKEYHIT/-71/1 GOTO/10 . . 99 WAIT waits for a keypress. If the key pressed was <ESC> the program transfers to line 99. If the key pressed was <HOME> the program transfers to line 1. If any other key was pressed, the program will go to line 10 and wait for another keypress. A chart showing the ASCII values of keypresses is included in this documentation. The target LINE# must exist in the program. BRIGHT Trades blinking for high intensity colors. Color selections above 127 are normally blinking. Calling BRIGHT trades this blink- ing for high intensity background colors. DIM Restores blinking characteristics for colors above 127. Exiting the program by way of LEAVE, SHELL or L-RUN automatically restores colors to blinking. LOCATE/ROW/COLUMN Locates the cursor at ROW and COLUMN. PAINT/BR/BC/ER/EC/COLOR Paints the screen area defined by BR, BC, ER and EC with COLOR. PRINT/ROW/COLUMN/TEXT/COLOR Print TEXT in color COLOR beginning at the specified row and column location. *RUNFILE/FILENAME A probable future enhancement. Will load into WISPED or WISP, FILENAME. This will allow you to run another WISP program without re-loading WISP or WISPED. The RETURN pointer for GOSUB will be erased and CAPTIONing will be turned off. SHELL/XXXX Shells and runs the program XXXX, returning when done. XXXX may contain a drive and path. If you save the screen prior to shelling and restore it just after the shell command, you can use GOTO to place you where you left off. Example: Shell/C:\WORDPROC\GALAXY GOTO/101 Leaves WISP under a new command shell and runs the GALAXY program located on drive C in the directory WORDPROC. SHELL is useful for running DOS commands which WISP does not provide for. Use SHELL only with DOS versions 3.0 or later. SHELL Shells. Leaves WISP under a new command shell. You must type EXIT at the DOS command line to return. Be careful with both uses of the SHELL command; a poorly written program could leave you with many copies of the command environment. Use SHELL only with DOS versions 3.0 or later. *SAVESCRN A probable future enhancement. Saves the current screen. This will be useful before using the SHELL command. *RESTSCRN A probable future enhancement. Restores the screen to it's condition when the last SAVESCRN command was used. If the screen is saved prior to shelling and then restored after returning from the shell, a GOTO can return you to the exact place of departure. DO NOT use RESTSCRN unless a previous SAVESCRN has been used. Example: SAVESCRN save it. CLS/0 clear the screen. SHELL/PROGRAM run a program. RESTSCRN restore the screen. GOTO/WHEREEVER return to where you left off. LEAVE Exits the program and returns you to DOS. To ensure that you have not inadvertently terminated your program while in a second environment, type EXIT at the DOS prompt. If you return to WISP, your program needs some work! L-RUN/XXXX Exits and runs the program XXXX. XXXX is limited to 14 characters. XXXX may be a .BAT, .COM or .EXE program. Example: L-RUN/GALAXY Exits WISP and runs the GALAXY program. Since XXXX is limited to 14 characters, you would have to change the directory and drive, if necessary, before using L-RUN. Lines in the program might, then, look like: CDRV/C CDIR/WORDPROC L-RUN/GALAXY GOTO/LINE# Where LINE# is any flush left, 3 digit integer within the program. Only comments may be placed to the right and on the same line as the number. The range of GOTO target lines is 1-999 and need not be sequential in the program file. Do not confuse the line number you provide your program with the file line numbers displayed by the editor; they are not related. Example: GOTO/250 . 250 {This is the target line. GOTO/LINELABEL Where LINELABEL is the name of a target line beginning with :: (a pair of colons). Line labels MAY NOT contain a "/" or "{". There may not be any remarks or other text on the same line as the GOTO call. Line labels are case insensitive. Goto Example: GOTO/HOME SWEET HOME Target Examples: ::HOME SWEET HOME OK ::any text HOME SWEET HOME NO ::Home Sweet Home any text OK GOTO/THIS LINE some remarks is illegal unless you have a target line which is identical, ie. ::THIS LINE some remarks Endless loops may be established if you are not careful with the GOTO command! MENU/TITLE/NOI/R/C/HLC/NC/TC/GTO/S Where: TITLE is the title of the menu which will appear inside the box. NOI is the number of selectable menu items. R/C is the ROW and COLUMN in which the upper left corner of the surrounding box will appear. The lower right box corner will be calculated by the program based on the length of the title and number of menu items. HLC is the color of the moving highlight. NC is the color of the menu items and surrounding box. TC is the color of the menu title. GTO (Go To Offset) is a pointer. The line number the menu selection will take you to is the menu choice + the GTO. /S provides a shadow. There must be a target line # for each menu choice. Items in the menu list must immediately follow the call to MENU and each must be on a separate line. The items in the menu list must be no greater nor less than NOI. The menu list should not be longer than there is room for on the screen minus the space taken for the box, title and dividing line. All menu choices MUST be the same length, end in a equal sign and be the same length as the title. The equal sign serves the WISPED syntax checker and helps to ensure equal lengths. WISP will remove the = so it will not be visible in the menu. MENU CHOICES MAY NOT BEGIN WITH A NUMBER. Example: MENU/ MY MENU /5/4/3/78/31/78/10 Choice 1 = Choice #2 = Choice Three= Choice #4 = Choice 5 = This will present you with a 5 item menu, with the UL corner of the box at row 4, column 3. The highlight bar will be yellow on red, the box and menu choices will be white on blue and the title will be yellow on red. If the third item in the menu list is selected, you will GOTO line number 13 which is the menu item choice (3) plus the GTO (10). If you have several menus in a program file, the GTO of each one must be sufficiently different in order to avoid overlapping. The spacing on either side of the menu title can be adjusted to center the title within the box. Options while menu is displayed: <F1> Blanks the screen until any key is pressed. You may want to display this option as is done in the demo. <F2> Sends a form feed to printer port 1. Note: For the editor, WISPED, a <F3> keypress stops program operation and returns you to the editing environment. Menu items may be selected in two ways; by placing the highlight bar on the desired selection and pressing <ENTER> or, by pressing a letter key which corresponds to the desired selection. The A key will select item 1, the B key item 2, etc. If HLC and NC are the same, causing the highlight bar to be invisible, the <ENTER> key is disabled and menu selections may be made only by letter selections. This is done in the example program MCTEST.WSP. BLOCKPRINT/NOI/CLR/ROW/COL Where: NOI is the number of line of text that follow which are to be displayed. CLR is the color in which the text will be displayed. ROW is the first row for the text block. COL is the first column for the text block. The line length of text is limited to 76 characters. Example: BLOCKPRINT/4/95/5/10 Now is the time for all good men to come to the aid of their party. This will print the 4 lines of text shown, with line 1 on row 5 starting at column 10, in bright white on magenta. BREAK/ASCII/LINE# Placing BREAK at the beginning of a program will allow you to break out of the program while waiting for a response due to a WAIT instruction. If the value of the key press is equal to ASCII, program control will transfer to line number LINE#. This is not needed with WISPED because <F3> puts you into the editor mode. However, the feature is in WISPED so you can test it with your programs. Example: BREAK/-117/999 While waiting for a key press in response to WAIT, if the key press is CTRL-END, program control transfers to line 999. The target LINE# must exist in the program. CDRV/DRIVE Changes active drive specification. Example: CDRV/D Changes to drive D CDIR/DIR Changes directories. Example: CDIR/D:\WORDPROC Changes to the directory WORDPROC on drive D. If you want to change the drives and directory, before shelling for example, the sequence of commands would be as follows: CDRV/D CDIR/D:\WORDPROC SHELL/GALAXY The CDRV and CDIR commands are useful only in conjunction with the L-RUN and SHELL commands. WAIT/ROW/COLUMN/COLOR/TEXT Prints TEXT at ROW and COLUMN in COLOR then waits for a keypress. WAIT without arguments simply waits for a keypress. Example: WAIT/5/16/78/Press any key Prints "Press any key" in row 5, starting at column 16 in yellow on red, waits for a key press. If any key press will do, then WAIT is sufficient. If you need to control the program direction and limit the key press response, the command IFKEYHIT should be used on the following line. Note: For the editor, WISPED, a <F3> keypress stops program operation and returns you to the editing environment. CLS/COLOR Clears the screen to COLOR. BLOAD/FILENAME$ Loads a complete text screen file from disc into video memory. The memory area into which the file is loaded is automatically determined by the monitor in use. The screen file must be in the proper format. BLOAD brings in screen files with colors intact. BLOADable files are about 4K in size and may be created with BASIC. *BSAVE/FILENAME$ A probable enhancement. Saves a screen in BLOADable format. This feature will allow you to predesign screens for your programs. BSAVE will be availabe only in WISPED, where it is useful. *XSCROLL/BR/BC/ER/EC/TIMES/S A probable future enhancement. Where X is replaced by either U, D, L or R to scroll Up, Down, Left or Right. The area of the screen defined by BR, BC, ER and EC is scrolled TIMES times at speed S. Speed values of 0 to 5 are useful; 0 being the fastest. Example: USCROLL/5/5/10/15/3/0 Scrolls the area bounded by row 5, column 5 and row 10, column 15, upwards 3 times as fast as possible. *VPCX/FILENAME A probable future enhancement. Display a graphics PCX file on any monitor. VPRINT/ROW/COLUMN/TEXT/COLOR Will display TEXT vertically beginning at ROW and COLUMN in COLOR. Example: VPRINT/5/10/abcd/31 Displays: a b c d YNKP/TEXT/R/C/COLOR/GTY/GYN Waits for either a Yes or No answer. Displays TEXT at row R and column C in COLOR. Waits for either a Y, y, N or n keypress. If Y or y (YES) then the GOTO target line is GTY otherwise the target line is GTN. Other key presses are invalid. Example: YNKP/Are you sure?/10/20/12/101/201 If answer is yes then the program transfers control to line 101, if no control is transfered to line 201. YNKP is similar to IFKEYHIT except that only YyNn are legal responses. YNKP eliminates the loop required by IFKEYHIT should a simple Yes-No response be sufficient. The target lines GTY and GTN must exist in your program. Note: For the editor, WISPED, a <F3> keypress stops program operation and returns you to the editing environment. *COUNTERUP Adds 1 to the value of an internal counter. *COUNTERDOWN Subtracts 1 from the value of the counter. *COUNTERCLEAR Sets the counter to zero. *DISPLAYCOUNTER/ROW/COLUMN/COLOR Displays the current value of the counter at row, column in color. *BEEP Makes a beep through the speaker. *FUTURE ENHANCEMENTS: We were working on the enhancements when this version of the program was released. Considering the delay between release and eventual distribution, most of the work is likely done. --------------------------------Color Chart----------------------------------- Use the values in this chart for the COLOR argument in all routines. --------------------------Background------------------------- Black Blue Green Cyan Red Magenta Brown White Foreground Black 0 16 32 48 64 80 96 112 Blue 1 17 33 49 65 81 97 113 Green 2 18 34 50 66 82 98 114 Cyan 3 19 35 51 67 83 99 115 Red 4 20 36 52 68 84 100 116 Magenta 5 21 37 53 69 85 101 117 Brown 6 22 38 54 70 86 102 118 White 7 23 39 55 71 87 103 119 Gray 8 24 40 56 72 88 104 120 Bright Blue 9 25 41 57 73 89 105 121 Bright Green 10 26 42 58 74 90 105 122 Bright Cyan 11 27 43 59 75 91 107 123 Bright Red 12 28 44 60 76 92 108 124 Bright Magenta 13 29 45 61 77 93 109 125 Bright Brown 14 30 46 62 78 94 110 126 Bright White 15 31 47 63 79 95 111 127 For a blinking foreground add 128 to the above values.
