@ anonymous1337 & @ badmrbox I cannot get UBYTE & USHORT to work as expected: Could you tell me what must be done to get the expected results? ALL of the variable types, except ubyte & ushort, work as expected. I have tried several routes, but it will not do what I want, so I worked aro...

yetifoot stated: I am not sure what you mean by "base 256 division" Neither do I, since your formula is multiplication. I have never seen a number system (any BASE) that does not have zero as a valid remainder. Please, explain how you are using this. The subject is "256 base" how...

Your cited source states this: m2 = (float)1e+10; // close enough to infinity yours should probably use the equivalent m2 = 1e+10 /' close enough to infinity '/ Also, your source has this comment: // use Kramers rule to compute xi and yi old Gabe Cramer, a brilliant swiss math man, sometime around 1...

I'm trying to make a function that given k and n it will generate a sequence k elements long and return the nth term. The rules for the sequence are simple: The summation of all of the elements in the sequence must equal 100. Assume k and n are real integers and that k > 0 and 0 < n <= k. for: k=4 ...

The code for the loop counter has this: Dim front As Integer Dim Shared front As Integer 'counter for alien explosion Dim front As Integer When using fbc v.18 this occurs: Compiler output: error 4: Duplicated definition, front in 'Dim Shared front As Integer 'counter for alien explosion' error 4: Du...

Do anyone know of a dictionary that is available for download? Several years back, I found a reference to a list, but it stated something to the effect that the only dictionary available & free from serious copyright restrictions was published around 1915, or during WWI. I have found several onl...

The following is part of some routines that I use. Most of the code has been borrowed, but, from whom I cannot say. I would be glad to attribute it to the originators, but my documentation is not adequate to the task. (I do not keep detail notes). #include "windows.bi" sub GetAvailableDriv...

From the xp desktop, when I double click the FreeBasic icon, I get a full screen console text 80 char x 50 lines. However, I am unable to get that resolution when using freebasic's screen mode, screen res. screen MODE 17 (from the Help tab) indicates a resolution of 80x25 or 80x50 is available. When...

THANKS TO ALL.

I declared the subs and I created the SUB,
and placed them in my library.

BUT
the multi-line comment feature caused all of my brilliant work to be ignored.

There ought to be a law against inattentiveness.
I feel terrible about making such a blunder.

I do not know what the compiler output actually means. Command executed: "C:\FreeBasic\fbc.exe" "C:\FB37\May25.bas" -ex Compiler output: C:\FB37\May25.o:fake:(.text+0x1351): undefined reference to `STATIONOFFSET@40' C:\FB37\May25.o:fake:(.text+0x560e): undefined reference to `STA...

Thanks D.J.

Removal of the fixed length prints a blank field.
If I define the variable: HexNum = " "
just before the RSET then it works perfectly.

Why would the fixed length (dim hexnum as string * 6) definition
cause a problem. It just doesn't make sense.

again, thanks.

On my system this will compile and run: ''RSET-ERR.bas DIM mpf AS INTEGER DIM nn AS INTEGER DIM i AS INTEGER DIM TabLeft AS INTEGER DIM TabRight AS INTEGER DIM ByteCount AS INTEGER DIM ab AS STRING * 16 DIM HexAdr AS STRING * 6 DIM gx AS STRING DIM hx AS STRING DIM cc AS STRING mpf = FREEFILE OPEN &...

nevermind.
