Re: [M100] - Text Sweet 2.3 Release

basic is parsable, obviously the interpreter has to do it, but the difference is to parse basic you pretty much need a state machine, pretty much the same way the actual interpreter works. You can't really determine what any given digit or double-quote or almost anything is, except by starting

Well, for ANSI C 99 lex is probably the best way. C doesn't (didn't?) have any regex engine. I don't know what's in modern C, it might have libraries for regex. As you say lex is a "friendly wrapper around regular expressions." But all it really does is make a giant regex/state machine with

127 or 128 so is the limit that the interactive editor can handle, while the interpreter can handle up to 254 or 255 if you're just executing and not editing. bkw On Wed, Mar 1, 2023, 8:15 PM B 9 wrote: > On Wed, Mar 1, 2023 at 6:39 AM Brian K. White b.kenyo...@gmail.com >

You could try CloudT as a tokenizer. But it is probably something very simple happening in the text editor. Extra blankline, encoding or something. -- John.

Thank you! Can't test until later tonight. When I transfer the .do file to my m100 it has some strange line terminators. I use mComm to transfer. I'll check it out more closely later. Steve On Sunday, February 26, 2023, grima...@gmail.com wrote: > Hi Steve, > > I updated it again. I think

Hi Steve, https://github.com/Grimakis/TextSweeper/releases/tag/2.5.1-beta.1 I just put together a pre-release of 2.5.1, which I have tested against the original DVI hardware and it works now in both 40 col and 80 col mode. Feel free to check it out with your DVI Work Alike solution, and let me

Re: [M100] - Text Sweet 2.3 Release

[image: ResizerImage574X765.jpg] yes, I have done a lot of work on making an external 80column video solution that is a "DVI work alike" accessible without actually having a DVI. First you need some driver software on the M100. 1) VT100 driver - found here -->

Re: [M100] - Text Sweet 2.3 Release

I see, when you say your DVI software do you mean the software that emulates the DVI itself? Modifying the print statements is definitely doable, and I can add that to my TODOs. However, as someone who uses the DVI, I personally do like the 40 column mode. Being able to switch between 40 and 80

Re: [M100] - Text Sweet 2.3 Release

Textsweeper was going to be my fun to use test case to make sure my DVI emulator code for windows was working well. Since the only drivers that send video data over serial are my own 2 programs (1 = VT100 driver for M100 or 2 = REX#/REXCPM) and since those adaptations of the Disk Video Interface

Re: [M100] - Text Sweet 2.3 Release

my stuff doesn't support 40 columns. that's why I was asking! To me, 40 column mode on the DVI seems silly, but that's just me. Anyways, if you don't want to adapt the print@ statements, I get it. thanks anyways. On Sun, Feb 26, 2023 at 2:40 PM grima...@gmail.com wrote: > I think the way I

I think the way I would prefer to handle it would be to check the initial setting of 40/80 when the program starts, switch the screen to 40, and then switch back on exit. Do you know is there a way to switch to 40 columns mode without calling WIDTH? I assume if I use any keywords exclusive to

Hi Steve, As of right now, it’s supporting only 40col mode. Currently, the way I am taking advantage of the DVI and T200 larger displays are to have the Controls/Help screen displayed below the game screen (preventing the need to switch between the two) As others have mentioned, I could allow
