quote: I never liked the forced limitations of QuickBASIC nor MS Basic Compiler 7.x and earlier flavours. PowerBASIC's windows compilers allows the programmer to choose the error handling options he/she desires. How many times I wanted to be able to check for an error without adding the overhead of ON ERROR. With PBCC/PBWIN - it has been a blessing. The only error "trapping" I do is checking for an error condition after executing code that could encounter an error. Can that be simulated using QuickBASIC/PDS without using ON ERROR and without linking with PDQx.lib or any other run time library supporting error checking without ON ERROR? (I haven't used either since 1996). IP: Logged |

"The only error "trapping" I do is checking for an error condition after executing code that could encounter an error" Quite. This thread is surreal. It strikes me that some folks need to spend a year or two coding in eight-bit assembler. ------------------ [This message has been edited by David J Walker (edited April 01, 2005).] IP: Logged |

quote: I don’t think you was André Breton, the father of surrealism. If you were, it would prove that humans only exist as conspiracy theories. What appears to be surrealism to you is, in fact, an aura of cult following. Humans are born as cult followers. Children worship their parents beginning the earliest stages of life. It’s a law of life — a component of the FearSurvival system. Normal parents discourage normal children to worship parents or cult-follow any human, usually after the first year in school. Now, a (normal) one will see many a case of cult-following kids, even if they have long passed the underage drinking stage. To make it brief, there are FearSurvival reasons behind such pathetic behavior. Say, in the case of cult-following a compiler company. One compelling reason of cult-following is, of course, the hope of getting a compiler for FREE! Not! Non! It might happen in the case of the Girly Man, who does a lot of window(s) shopping and dressing! But it ain’t gonna happen in the bare-bone dressing of PowerBasic! I tell you what! There are accounts. People say that Bitser Zale has never given away anything, not even the paper wastebaskets where he 3-point throws the (erroneous ERL) code of his compilers! He’s never taken home his compilers for free. He has always bought every release of his compilers a dozen times over! He proudly goes home with a dozen copies of the latest release of his compilers. He calls the package the ‘baker’s dozen’. If Bitser, the creator himself, doesn’t get his own compilers for free — how on earth could a distant outsider nourish such an outlandish hope? The problem is not with the hopeless wishy-washing cult followers. The problem stands with guys like Bitser. There is a serious danger in cuddling the cult-followers. They can bamboozle you, Bitser! That would stop your compiler at the age of 32, just one step of that brave new world age of 64! Perhaps the Pope is dying as we speak. This is one reason why I wrote this message. I lived under communism when he was elected Pope. I am no longer religious, but I respect a human who is strong but compassionate in his beliefs. Be strong, but do so for the human good. You might be wrong, but be wrong for the human good. Don’t let spite quench your thirst, crocodililor! Ion Saliu, IP: Logged |

Stop trolling, please. Simply because we don't agree with you it doesn't mean that we are cult followers or tropical parrots, Doctor-in-Bad-Manners. ------------------ IP: Logged |

Apparently, the only object of your posts are to get hated responses, so I will let you alone with your frustrations and pomposity. ------------------ IP: Logged |
