Just a FWIW.
I have been using wine with Ubuntu for many years for my CCTV clients ( Synology Surveillance Station) and has always worked quite well. wine 6.0.2 was as close to prefect as I could have ever asked for. But after all these years, they bring out wine 7.0 and it has broken my CCTV ...

I used DTMF with skypeIN so I could do a few things from the phone with button pushes and activate voice recognition for more specific things. It only became a problem when the telco doing the actual crossover from landline to voip literally clipped out the DTMF tones. I surmised it was to stop ...

@ kenmo,
Thanks for your input. It is really the sound creation / encoding and decoding that has me a little stumped atm. The mapping and everything else should be relatively easy even for a bloke as rusty as me.
@Idle, I will take a good look at your DTMF code as I was actually thinking along those ...

Hi all,
Long long time since I have fired up PB and am now so far away from coding, I feel like a complete beginner again..... :(
I am thinking of starting into a little project to programmatically create sound tones and decode them again.
The idea pretty much being able to take say the ansii ...

Thanks Mk-soft.
Seems to have been quite a few of these with the 20.04 iteration.
A lot them do seem to have work arounds that I have run into so far.
E.g. python-is-python3
No doubt it will all fall into place over time and as I say, I do very little coding these days, so am in no rush.

Hi All,
Been years since I have posted on these forums......
Just updated my laptop with a nice little nvme drive and installed dual boot win10 and Ubuntu 20.04.
I have PB 5.73 LTS (Linux - x64) installed now and all seems to be working fine. I did encounter from the install check script 4 x ...

Dunno much about rasberry pi, but I recently bought 1 of these. Currently have it running ubuntu 18.04 alongside win10.
Never use w10 and in fact kinda got my calculations a bit wrong re-partitioning the emmc drive on it which leaves me only about 2GB for W10 data...... (yeah ok, fixable, but why ...

Many thanks for this tip Oma! has worked, so again thank you.
Much I have to learn about Linux, especially now that I very rarely ever do any programming these years.

As the topic says, I am a little confused as to why I need "su" privileges to access a serial port on /dev/ttyUSB0 with my machine running PB 5.44LTS, but on my other machine running 5.22LTS I can access the serial device no problem at all from my normal user (administrator) priveleges.
Both ...

It's ok, just worked out I need to run purebasic its'self as sudo...

Hi, been a long long time since I have done any programming at all now, so a stupid question........ :oops:
I am wanting to do some serial port work but find in Linux it appears I need sudo access or else the device access is just simply denied.
How do I do that from my source so i can run in debug ...

hi again Michael,
Took me a little bit to work out why you had the anding in your procedure "&FFFFFFFF", then it dawned on me it was because your were passing the value into it as a standard PB signed long 32 bit where the Bin function takes & returns as a quad, so feeding a long with a negative ...

Excellent suggestion Michael.
I have ended up using a "." to make it a sort of Dotted Binary Notation which matches the ddn & it really does make it easier to read for these guys. nice pick up!
I will update the code in the 1st post once I have tested on windows.

Thanks michael,
I will look at doing that.
Your little sample codes are actually quite similar to my way using the bit shifting, etc & when I get back up to speed I might redo in that format as I just like that way much better personally. I was planning on doing it this way, but it is just ...

Thanks huys, I have actually picked up on what it was. I missed a parameter, so by changing: net2$=RemoveString(netadd$,"0",#PB_String_NoCase,netlength) to net2$=RemoveString(netadd$,"0",#PB_String_NoCase,netlength,hostlength) all fixed.
still seems odd to me though as the missed parameter is ...
