I recently upgraded to PB3.5 and am still learning the in's & out's
of some of the new capabilities. Couple of questions have cropped
up.
1. Apparently, 3.5 can flesh out binary strings to (x) places with
a single function. For example, T$ = BIN$(REG(1)). Well, invariably,
T$ < 16 places where I need it to be. In 2.1f, I used a Do/Loop to
flesh it out to 16 places but if 3.5 can handle it internally....
2. (Too) frequently, when compiling a program, I will get an error
message on a particular line. Close examination of the line reveals
no mistakes but looking 2 or 3 lines up, I see a mistake. Correcting
that mistake causes the compile to proceed????
How can I make use of question 1 and does anyone have any idea as
to what's up with question 2?
Cheers
