Sb: #66663-PB Update
Fm: Bob Zale: PowerBASIC R&D 76304,1303
To: AL MUSELLA 76114,637 (X)
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).
Dan

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.

Sb: #ARRAY SORT QUESTION
Fm: George Green 70565,276
To: [F] Bob Zale 76304,1303 (X)
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.
-George Green

DEFINT A-Z

DIM PAR$(10)
FOR X=71 TO 65 STEP -1 'PUT "G" -> "A" IN ARRAY
INCR PARS
PAR$(PARS)= CHR$(X)
NEXT X
ARRAY SORT PAR$() FOR PARS
FOR X= 1 TO PARS 'THIS LEAVES THE "A" ON BOTTOM, SEEMS LIKE IT
PRINT X;PAR$(X) 'SHOULD BE PLACED ON TOP
NEXT X 'ADDING 1 TO PARS GET IT THO

Sb: #66747-ARRAY SORT QUESTION
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

To: George Green 70565,276
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.

Sb: Turbo DataBase Problem
Fm: ken pon 71307,1171
To: 76304,1303 (X)
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.
