Re: [Ql-Users] TURBO and testing it exists

Hi, If I understand the circumstances correctly, I would handle the chicken and egg problem differently. The circumstances are that you're trying to develop a BOOT program, which loads a certain set of extensions. You want to avoid loading the extensions again if the BOOT program is run

Hi Michael, I dont know why it doesnt work for you. I just clicked on the link now and it works for me. Try copying the link and pasting it in your browser. The article is about searching for specific keywords in SuperBASIC, SBASIC and compiled BASIC without the use of an external toolkit. Per PS

Re: [Ql-Users] TURBO and testing it exists

Your approach is commendable as an option for those who dont load a Turbo toolkit by default, but for the rest of us it doesnt do much good. Presumably, the REM version is based on the generic version which is somewhat less optimal under SMSQ/E? And Turbo-compiled tasks will use the incorporated

Re: [Ql-Users] TURBO and testing it exists

Simply load one of the thousand "is there that toolkit name" extensions like "ISIT" (Disassembler from DP) or similar and you are happy. Even Dilwyn has one on his site. There is also a very old little toolkit from Steve Jones (Sidewinder), which can put every resident Procedure into an

George, the question is relevant if you write programs intended for other people: You cant be sure THEY will load Turbo. However, IMHO, any serious Tinkerer should load Turbo as a matter of course. Per On 18 August 2017 at 16:54, gdgqler--- via Ql-Users < ql-users@lists.q-v-d.com> wrote: > > >

Lee, in case your question is really only Turbo Toolkit specific, you can very well do away with a much simpler solution than WHEN ERRor clauses: 1000 IF TK_VER$ <> "" 1010 REM do whatever you want to do when Turbo Toolkit is loaded 1020 ELSE 1030 REM Do whatever you want to do if it is not

After I sent this, I realised a bit of explanation might be in order, as WHEN ERRor is not so well-known: When the interpreter passes a WHEN ERRor/END WHEN pair during normal program execution, it doesn't do anything with the commands inside the clause but remembering "I should do this in case

Lee, there are a number of toolkits that allow you to check for specific other toolkit commands loaded or not - But this is a bit useless as it leaves you with a chicken-and-egg problem: How to check whether the checking toolkit is loaded? Your best bet on SMSQ/E would be a WHEN ERRor clause
