John is getting threatning with his pocket knife in the downtown corpus christi burger king.. Not only does he do the usual bit of showing his knife all around the kitchen area he has started making threats about hurting me. I was mentioning this at waterburger that it isn't worth getting stabbed by john plus you have profit sharing.

I am looking at superedit and it appears it isn't very portable .. http://www.wolosoft.com/cgi-bin/mb/mb.pl?BoardID=6 seems like a little work would make it second to none.. there is a portable install instruction that I am going to look at..

unautorised bcx basic manual

NOTE THIS IS JUST THE FIRST EDIT OF THIS PAGE AND WILL CONTAIN ERRORS



To use superedit with bcx basic you will want to create two new directories. You will want a bcx basic directory in both the clips and another one for clips directory.



Syntax File



After looking in super edit it doesn't appear to be portable so everyone who would want to use it would have to set it up from scratch but it maybe in the future it will be less of a pain the url is link



If there are any questions they can be directed here Board

To compile a bcx basic file to an exe you would start with the bc command as described in the updated manual on yahoo groups then use pcal from the command line to compile a pelles console program. I haven't tested this but it was mentioned that if you are trying to compile a windows program with a gui you would need to use the pw.bat file instead.. If you are using a different c compiler you would need to check what is in the bcxolr data base or if you are using bcxdevsuite or another ide you would need to check thier docs.

types of variables

$ .. string variable ex a$
% .. numeric example a%
! .. numeric example a!
# .. numeric pounds I think example a#

example dim x as dword. The variable is then &x (apparently anyway). GLOBAL can also be used

dword :Double word
LPWORD : long pointer word?
LDOUBLE : long double
integer :integer
DOUBLE :double
string :string
ULONG
STRARRAY :string array
handle :this is a windows handle
LPSTR :32 bit string POINTER variable
COORD :x,y coordinates
WIN32_FIND_DATA
SYSTEMTIME :System Time
OSVERSIONINFO :Operating version info

QWERTY :querty keyboard
example

GLOBAL h AS QWERTY
h.a = 3

HWND :Windows handle
MSG
WNDCLASSEX
RECT :rectangle (I would guess)

FARPROC : far procedure??
HMODULE

dim A$

declares A$ to be global usualy is declared at the top of a program

GLOBAL h AS QWERTY

this does pretty much the same thing as dim

Local X!

Declares X! To be loace to the function or subroutine

TYPE is used to create a custom data type. It works a lot like many versions of pascal.

TYPE Zzz
DIM x
DIM y
DIM z
DIM p AS RECT
END TYPE

You can now use the TYPE just like any other basic var..

LOCAL cb AS Zzz

You would then access the various members by using the type name and then a period followed by the name of the variable such as the simple example below

cb.x = 1

DIM SHARED i, j, a$, Stak$[41]

I am not realy sure of the purpose of the shared keyword it appears that you can use it like the global keyword and then use it also in the subroutines


DATA

This is traditionally at the end of the program in basic..

example

Dim i


While data$ [i] <> "EndOfData"
Print data$ [i]
Incr i
Wend


DATA "111","222","333","444"
DATA "555","666","777","888"
DATA "999","EndOfData"

set ... end set.. this looks a little like a combination of the DATA keyword and type

SET A[] AS DOUBLE
1,5,9,3,10,4 ' Small Set Of Sample Data
END SET

DIM DYNAMIC
DIM STATIC
DIM RAW

you can define your variables as static or dynamic

redim probily works simular to other basic languages i.e. No docs

redim preserve a$[20]
redim a$[20]

example

i = MsgBox ( "This is a message", "BCX Demo", 3+64) ' 3=YNC, 64=Info Icon

usage options (after the parentieses)

example

Panel X1,Y1,X2,Y2,Fg,Bg,32,1

SYSTEM INFORMATION


GetEnvironmentVariable

example

GetEnvironmentVariable (A$,Result$,255)

possible values for A$ are


"COMSPEC"
"PROMPT”
"TEMP"
"winbootdir"
"windir"
"PATH"

GetDriveType

example

k = GetDriveType(a$)

possible values for A$ are

DRIVE_REMOVABLE
DRIVE_FIXED
DRIVE_REMOTE
DRIVE_CDROM
DRIVE_RAMDISK

SetFileAttributes

example

SetFileAttributes(t$,a)

possible values for a are

FILE_ATTRIBUTE_ARCHIVE -- The file is an archive file
FILE_ATTRIBUTE_HIDDEN -- The file is hidden
FILE_ATTRIBUTE_NORMAL -- The file has no other attributes set
FILE_ATTRIBUTE_OFFLINE -- The data of the file is not immediately available
FILE_ATTRIBUTE_READONLY -- The file is read-only
FILE_ATTRIBUTE_SYSTEM -- The file is part of the operating system
FILE_ATTRIBUTE_TEMPORARY -- The file is being used for temporary storage

ExitWindowsEx ( EWX_LOGOFF, 0 )

possible arguments for ExitWindowsEx are

EWX_FORCE Forces processes to terminate. When this flag is set,
Windows doesn't send WM_QUERYENDSESSION and WM_ENDSESSION messages to
running applications in the system. This can cause the applications to
lose data. Therefore, you should only use this flag in an emergency.

EWX_LOGOFF Shuts down all processes running in the security context of the
process that called the ExitWindowsEx function and logs the user off.

EWX_POWEROFF Shuts down the system and turns off the power, if supported.

EWX_REBOOT Shuts down the system and then restarts the system.

EWX_SHUTDOWN Shuts down the system to a point at which it is safe to
turn off the power. All file buffers have been flushed to disk, and
all running processes have stopped

I was looking at 2415 coleman street in corpus christi texas ( tx ).. This is two units offered by island reality (This is from memory so adress and realitor may be slightly different).. The house next door (the one closer to 18th street) has an agressive dog that is pregnant, It is possible (because I have delt with this breed befour near the county library downtown) that the dog won't back off and bite someone when she has her pups.. As far as owner ocupied it looks like someone who walks may have a problem and I even heard the comment he is likely to get shot.. I went through era and they realy didn't seem that helpfull and he said he was there exactly on time and I had went there and didn't see him three minutes befour the apointment at 10:00 am and decided to back off... There would be no way I would owner occupy (as a white person) in a anti-white mexican neiborhood (at least enough so where I would have more problems with people than usual).. They don't realy suggest anything such as owner finance or a management agreement (it would have to be managed by someone to be feasable))... Island reality has also made some errors in how they listed it.. they listed one unit when they calculated square footage and didn't mention the number of units in the mls.. It should have also been listed as multi-family and that suggests circumstansly that there may be an effort to manipulate the price or play devils advocate.. the dog also suggests it could be happening (not that it is but someone could do that to manipulate the price). There is circumstansial stuff at play that may be worth looking into.. the property itself looks like it might be insurable.. At least the roof looks good enough on first glance to get the insurance.. the neiborhood suggests that alot of people will be late and not pay thier rent.. Alot of 40's style mobile home looking strictures on piers...

( 4514 evelyn street corpus christi texas tx )This is listed with dick myers.. The remax people say it is not thier remax it is a remax out of portland and they would know more about the shape that it is in and that she is friends with his wife... (didn't get the name).... Dick says there is problems with the title and that a title company will not insure it the first agent says it is listed as cash only.. dick says that it was done through an atourny.. he also says the foundation is cracked and that the roof needs repaired..

This has bad news written all over it you want me to give you 20k and then not have title insurance... I will give the agent and the seller the benifit of the dout and not say it is fraudulent but this is the sort of thing that can screw you and I don't understand why it is listed, It's is kinda a waste of everyones time..

Something happened where the adress's stopped coming up on coldwell bankers website followed by coldwell banker losing it's search engine ranking for "corpus christi" + "real estate"... They seem to have more listings than some of the free ones... There is yahoo and a few others... The bad think about it is you can't look up an adress such as 133 edwards street in corpus christi and then find the inspection report like you could a few weeks ago or find out that the price as listed on craigs minus the 10% suggested as a usual down payment came out to 666 plus some zero's.. The sellers agent is a different company though.. pyscopaths will leave clues sometimes so something that may seem or maybe it is coincidental is worth a closer look... hopefully it is nothing.. I take that back the adress's for multi-family are up there but the adress's for single family are not... doesn't seem that usefull except for a small number of people. (revised and extended)

One of the major banks bank of america has just dropped it's rates for credit cards.. looks like there should be another drop next month... Should give card holders a delayed rate cut and some balance dropping stuff...
