ABOUT ADDLINE
=============
AddLine adds line numbers to BASIC, or other language(s), source code
files. When using Microsoft's BASIC, QuickBASIC, or compatible compilers,
added line numbers allow use of the ERL function on programs developed without
line numbers. The ERL function is an excellent way to pinpoint error
locations, especially when they are generated by users at remote sites.
===============
RUNNING ADDLINE
===============
AddLine's launch syntax is:
ADDLINE [d:][path]filename[.ext]
AddLine will read the input file, add line numbers, and create an
output file with an ".ADL" extension.
For example, to add lines to a file named FOO.BAS (stored in the
current directory), the launch syntax would be:
ADDLINE FOO.BAS
AddLine's output file would be named FOO.ADL, and the original FOO.BAS
file would be unchanged.
AddLine will not add line numbers to lines which contain the
underscore ("_") character. This allows the use of extended-line DIM, FIELD,
and other statements within BASIC source code.
AddLine will not add a line number to the first CASE statement that
appears after a SELECT statement, or to any line which contains an AS
statement. This compensates for a bug in Microsoft's QuickBASIC 4.0 and BASIC
6.0 whereby using line numbers in SELECT CASE or TYPE/END TYPE constructs
causes compile-time errors.
========================================
PROGRAMMING AND COMPILING, ADDLINE-STYLE
========================================
Develop your unnumbered BASIC programs as you usually do, taking the
following steps into consideration:
1. Use labels as the targets of all GOTO's, GOSUB's, etc.
2.
