Re: [ql-users] New(er) SourceEdit SuperBasic Language file
Would be nice to hear a bit more about this - just what is SourceEdit (must have missed something somewhere about this)? -- Dilwyn Jones Jimmy and I prepared a newer version of the SuperBasic Language File for SourceEdit.We sent it already to SourceEdit.com (not available yet though). Until it is, contact me or Jimmy for a copy. Among other new things in the newest release is inclusion of ALL operators (some were missing previously), new (previously missing) keywords for the (Super)Gold Card and removal of the FOR...NEXT construct (as Next is not really the formal end of the looping mechanism, just a jumper like RETurn. These two have been moved to the operators section, thus allowing for different colour that will attract your attention. All my best, Phoebus

One of the routines I came up with which has been useful for me is a mode 16 to mode 32 screen converter. It's rather slow, but the need doesn't really arise that often, so it's OK. Simply enter the filename of a 256 colour (mode 16) file, and the filename to save the converted mode 32 file.

Here is the Marcel Method version of the program.
First time I noticed that string coercion doesn't extend to the $
operator:
You can't do LET table$(a)='$':LET value=table$(a)
So I didn't include the $ symbol in the lookup table in the DATA
statements as Marcel suggested.
I used HEX keyword instead.
Would probably be much faster with the data held in a 256 element
integer array instead so as not to have to do so many HEX('abcd')

Funny thing is... I released a similar thing back in March for TextPad (which I quite like - even if I had to pay for it!). It's up on their site (and mine). It isn't very clever and just does the ROM keywords (I only spent a hour or so on it). I wonder if it would be a lot of effort to combine them? (Or really, I gues I'm wondering if you could adapt you one to replace my TextPad one. (I hate changing editors). Send it over and I will give it a shot :-) -Or at least give me your url again :-) (And TextPad's won't be bad either) I haven't tried SourceEdit - free is nice, but I'd like to find a good source file editor for Linux (I know there are millions of them, but I tend to just stick with vi(m)). I liked KEdit... I think btw, that SourceEdit's code is available... just in case :-) Phoebus -- Phoebus Dokos - Undergrad in MIS Eberly College of Business - Indiana U. of PA
