if i am not wrong selling software/shareware(to be software) you MUST own a company, and you MUST declare your sales and stuff ... or i am wrong? In the US (at least in the states I have worked) you do not need to incorporate are create a company. Anyone can say they are a business if the name of t...

There have been several languages built on variants of RPN (more or less) including Forth and a little language I saw once called Mouse, and perhaps even APL. The trick is to use a stack, and to know how many operators are required by an operations. If a parameter is a number, push it on the stack. ...

BUT!! They will not allow mac osx to run on non-apple machines. I think Jobs desire to sell hardware may be his undoing. Regardless, this means that the Mac OSX compiler now has to support two object codes, and probably means the community will need to develop the means to manage both CPU's in sour...

Yes Blade, I agree... however, if you work with evenly divisible numbers (as I discussed above) there is less quality loss. That's my point. You can see this effect when you zoom in and out of a bitmap in photoshop (notice the zoom percentage). As for a smarter algorithm you don't need one if you'r...

Maybe Fred could sell the amiga source to one of the amiga die hards, oh thats right, someone said they had no money

you can't let the user sit there and work with your app for 30 days, then delete all his work, especially if the deleted data is important. What you can and can't do legally really depends on the license that covers your software I suppose. If someone was attempting to crack your software and trigg...

Here is what I did for one my MsgBox Demo. Instead of making it good for 50 uses only, I made the demo version good throw up a nag screen after 25 screen updates (this demo was for a msgbox tool). Everytime you restart the program it restarts the counter, I never save it anywhere. So in effect, if y...

It seems to me, that it's not really the function thats in question, but the parameter. #myconst = "text" + chr(13) + "more text" This example passes a constant 13 to the function, and could be interpreted by the compiler with ease. CR.L = 13 #myconst = "text" + chr(CR)...

If PureBasic (this is just an idle question) rests on the shoulders of one person, what happens if that person becomes bored, decides to take a year off. How do developers cope with the fact that their development tool is not in the hands of a larger company. FredD I use a variety of compilers on a...

could somebody please explain to me what RegExp is? :?: I've heard some talk about it lately and to be honest I'm feelin' a bit out of the loop :oops: http://etext.lib.virginia.edu/helpsheets/regex.html :) Regular Expresions are extremely useful for checking and/or replacing strings. Very quick too...

My MAC won't support OS X, so before I either update or replace, can I get a list of which lib functions are planned for support by Mac version? (Like what we have in help docs that show which libraries are supported by Windows, Amiga and Linux). Most specifically, I'm wondering if the Database func...

I think MD5 has been cracked and is not considered suitable for any serious encryption, but it is CERTAINLY suitable for turning your strings unrecognizable sections of code.

I'm trying to identify which ones are causing the gpf. I've eliminated all non-jpg's at this point. Since the gpf closes all windows immediately, I need to add a log so I can see which files were opened. Then I need to determine if it was the specific file being opened, or the one being closed, or a...

I have a program that displays images from a directory, using loadimage, copyimage etc.

Most images work just fine, but some images cause GPF's. Is there a way to detect a GPF and avoid it, or to detect an image which would not be acceptable to the image libarary included with pure basic?

My guess is that R3D_Engine is defined elsewhere in the program, possibly an active-x component. Public Engine As New R3D_Engine is creating a new instance of that object, and making it global. I don't know if there is a true translation for this, since the first thing you would need would be R3D_En...
