PluriBASIC

PluriBASIC is now generating perfect code for o2!

Hi Brian,

Will you be making a product announcement on the Oxygen Basic forum?

I was thinking about your financial dilemma and maybe offering PluriBASIC on a subscription basis might be a way to go. You can offer à La Carte targets or a Pro subscription that covers all the targets.

Do you have a demo version I could take for a spin?

 Hello John, PluriBASIC is now making perfect team with Oxygen, but there is
still a long way to go, i need to create a way in which a community creates the
stock code for all the DDT statements and native functions.

 Under PluriBASIC, Oxygen now can even do what it does not do natively, like
creating BYVAL parameters, it can even generate debugging code so that the IDE
follows the execution path, but a little more work is required to make it fully
functional and useful for everyone.

 With some help, i would say maybe a month... by myself, maybe a year.

Hi Brian,

You should give your new PARSE$ function a spin with the EXTRACT code challenge on All BASIC.

[Brian Alvarez]

What do you mean John?

[JRS]

Check out the LIKE + code challenge on www.AllBASIC.info and see if your PARSE$ function would apply.

Brian,

Are you stil seeing any action from the PowerBasic community?

[Brian Alvarez]

I have not been paying much attention. I have been busy. Why? Anything worth seeing?

[JRS]

I thought you were still selling into that market. (PB2PHP, ...)

[Brian Alvarez]

I am. I just havent promoted it lately.

Your O2 direction sounds exciting and giving Charles the feedback he needs to mature the BASIC.

[Brian Alvarez]

 I agree. What is slowing me down is that i dont know much about Oxygen yet,
i am learning on the go, and im struggling with other areas.

 Id you have examples for using SDK on Oxygen, i am needing them now.

DLLC SB extension module written in O2 might be a good resouce to tap. A lot of goodies in there.

I think PluriBASIC is a much smarter way to go to end up with O2 binaries. High level includes only take you so far.


Your BASIC compiler pre-processor reminds me of the C BASIC gcc define pre-processor I did.

I was hoping Chris would come alive with EZGUI for O2 but a compiler scripting front end tells a better story.

[Brian Alvarez]

Perhaps when im done, Chris will be able to re-compile EZGUI to 64 bit.
