Code examples

Hi all, long time no see!
I'm wondering when was the last time anyone, ie a PB developer, went through the coding examples and brought them up-to-date with the latest release and/or the 64-bit version. It's very frustrating when an example fails because of 'old' code.

The same might be asked about the FAQ on these forums:
http://www.purebasic.fr/english/viewtop ... =13&t=4876
There are broken links and much of the information is ten years old.
Anyone looking at the FAQ would think that PB has limited capabilities and is pretty much a dead product.

To both of you:
I hereby nominate you two to do the cleaning: there are 404996 posts to examine and update.
Good luck.

I think Lewis was talking about the examples that are included in PB help,
and the examples that come with PB in 'examples' folder.
They should work with Win/Linux/Mac, x86 and x64, Ascii and Unicode,
and Paths should always be correct (#PB_Compiler_Home + ...), so they
are run-able out-of-the-box (cut & paste).

It should be, if not just fill a bug report in the doc section.

Such sophistry is not useful.
A locked FAQ, intended as a first point of reference for PB neophytes, is part of the product documentation and might reasonably be expected to contain current and accurate information.

Dear BorisTheOld, Danilo, Lewis a.s.f...
Please read the sarcasm and take it for what it is. The vague title, the mention of code examples...No where does it mention the helpfile.
You do not need to be a rocket scientist to figure out, that it wasn't the forum code examples Lewis was talking about..
