Had my first go at trying PBCC to see what it takes to convert my simple
IO-DEMO program, samples of what I do to get formatted and controlled by
my I/O procedures Data Input from users.
You can download the PB-DOS 3.5 source code and IO-DEMO.EXE from: www.ottowipfel.btinternet.co.uk
Seems that PBCC can not display Extended Keyboard Codes such as BOX lines
in the Editor and therefore can not compile them to show on screen either ?
After checking imcompatibilites first and removing a few signicant ones
I compiled it. This is how it went:
And that was just the first few lines !
There is no way I am going to try to convert well tried and tested PB-DOS
Source Code of my programmes, containing millions of lines, to anything
else.
I shall continue to fight to preserve the use of DOS for as long as live
