Documentation

[JRS]

Hi Charles,

I have the Script BASIC Development repository available in the All BASIC Sandbox. This might give you an idea how the Oxygen Basic Development project might look if you decide to use the resource. I plan to clone the development repo to GitLab in a release format.

GitLab is very kind to open source projects. (FREE)

Thanks John.

We used to think of programs as 'listings' but today, your typical program is more like a database.

The top two reasons to use a Git repository is for source control and documentation.

Charles,

Is your plan to release self compile and José's requests at one time? What is your ETA?

[Charles Pegge]

Yes, it's easier to keep it all together, and we might need to discuss implementation details before release. They are not cast in stone. (Each of the OXSC zips contain a working oxygen.dll)

[JRS]

Would it be of any help setting up the O2 sandbox repository using the latest OXSC zip?

[Charles Pegge]

One day I hope to be able to hand over for open-source management.

But the most useful tool at the moment is FindEd which sits in the tools folder, and is accessible from Oxide (ctrl-F7). It is very efficient at tracking keywords over files in multiple folders, and doing simple editing. I find it is possible to code far more accurately with this tool than with a conventional IDE, or notepad .

I'm include a compiled copy of FindEd in each OXSC file.

The sandbox isn't an IDE but a blockchain like source control system. The past is always a previous commit away.

Enabling Visual Styles

I thought this might be of interest to you Roland.

Hi John,

thank you for the link. Visual styles are probably of general interest. In Oxygenbasic .res files with a manifest can be created with tools\GoRC.exe and linked to an .exe or .dll file with \tools\LinkRes2exe.exe. A simple example can be found in \examples\WinDynDialogs\ExeWithRes.

I setup an Oxygen Basic project in the All BASIC sandbox.

I have already added you Charles as a maintainer. If anyone else would like to contribute to the O2 documentation project, send me a PM and I'll setup an account for you. (serious inquires only)

If you find something you would like to add to the docs but don't want to commit to much more, download the .md markdown file, edit it and post it as an attachment. PLEASE follow José Roca's formatting standards.

The plan is to get markdown syntax highlighting for both O2 and Script BASIC working in the sandbox.

@Charles - This will gve you a way to enhance / correct the docs that José contributed. It will probably be best to not upload source until you release the self compile version.

I have replaced the link to the O2 documentation project to the O2-DEV sandbox.

Here is the Archive Link - José Roca WinPBX O2 Documentation

I have Sticky enabled this thread for future reference.

Hi Brian,

You are welcome to setup a project in the O2 sandbox to document your BASIC to O2 translator syntax and resulting O2 code. Something like what your doing on the JRS forum.

[Brian Alvarez]

Thanks John. Right now im very busy to do it, but maybe later this month. At least i have been successfully compiling applications using portions of Jose Roca's includes. Thats gonna be a very nice thing to write about.

Sounds exciting!

Let me know when you are ready.
