Re: [U2] BASIC code - upper, lower, CamelCase, what say you?

Hi Doug,

Re the Eclipse thing, do you have any pointers or links etc for setting up 
eclipse in a Linux workstation environment please?
Most of the stuff I've seen for U2 seems to all be windows based and I'm only 
knew to Eclipse as well having been a vi fan for ages.
My colleague has recently introduced me to the joys of Emacs but am struggling 
to un-learn vi.

Cheers
Peter

BFIND are your really serious.  Is this one of those, we must us only use
UniBasic code?  Because if it is, we U2 programmers are really dinosaurs
not knowing the comet already has changed the world.

We have been using Eclipse since 2004.  The search engine is so fast and
will search my local machine, not the database, in seconds.  The Eclipse
search engine shows not only the program but the entire line that matches.
You can click on the line in the search window and the editor start up and
loads the program focusing on the line in question.

Gee, you should wonder how Eclipse compares to a single telnet window
driven program written UniBasic?

 First off - Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all.

 I'm starting to write a lot of new BASIC (Universe 11.1) subroutines for
 our
 DesignBais application, and since I'll be starting with a blank code
 template instead of modifying existing code, and I thought 'hey why not
 join
 the 21st century' and make the code look more mainstream, and readable.
 (falling back on our last TEXMUG presentation by Clif Oliver on
 refactoring).

 And considering Universe 11.2 now supports local subroutines and functions,
 I should make the code look and behave more object-like.

 Does anyone know of a set of rules or guidelines on how to do this?Just
 experimenting briefly, Universe BASIC compiler will allow any mix of cases
 for keywords, but variables are case sensitive.  Example:

 ED BP TEST
 ABC=1
 Abc=2
 abc=3
 PRINT ABC
 Print Abc
 pRiNt abc
 stop
 end

 RUN TEST
 1
 2
 3

 So, how are developers mixed case in their code these day? Do keywords,
 local variables, common variable, equates follow a standard method?

 thanks in advance,

Hi Peter:

When millions of programmers are using a tool like Eclipse, there is always
help on the internet.  Here is what I found:

1) Eclipse for Linux instructions:
https://developer.atlassian.com/display/DOCS/Set+Up+the+Eclipse+IDE+for+Linux
  a) The current release is Kepler
  b) You don't need to install Maven
  c) Make sure you have Java installed first and version 1.7.

2) U2logic's XLr8 Tools plugin instructions:
http://www.u2logic.com/pdfs/XLr8Installation.pdf

3) Email your install id and we will send you a trial license.

Regards,
Doug
