+Stephen Posted April 15, 2020 Share Posted April 15, 2020 Excellent! The more VBXE support, the better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+JAC! Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 The idea of having VBXE as a 2nd S: device is great. Maybe there could also be error handling in/after the OPEN like "Cannot open device", if VBXE is not active. Because that's the first thing I ran into ?. Compiled as a separate device driver it could make VBXE accessible in other language like Basic or Turbobasic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not unprecedented, since VBXE is already implemented as "S2:" by SDX display drivers. I believe it is possible to load the S_VBXE.SYS driver under other disk operating systems as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So does MP now contain a relocatable loader for the SDX format? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gury Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 Waw, that's great. This is great news for new version. It provides a way for easier reading and writing to device channels, for example writing to device number 6 in text modes 1 and 2. No need for extra code as it was till now. Btw, I would suggest to rename some routines to more meaningful names, more specifically for routines opn and cls. I understand it is necessary to distinguish from actual Pascal command (f.e. close => cls), but this routine sounds more like a clear screen routine. So, I would suggest a different name, such as CloseDevice or CloseD. The same would apply to opn function => OpenDevice or OpenD. And thanks for XIO command, that's new. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bocianu Posted June 14, 2020 Share Posted June 14, 2020 3 new libraries were added to my blibs, all related to new #FujiNet interface: SIO - Serial Input/Ouput interface library. FN_SIO - SIO library for #FujiNet interface. FN_TCP - #FujiNet interface TCP communication library. and two new examples how to use it here. I hope you will find it useful. 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gury Posted June 18, 2020 Share Posted June 18, 2020 New version has many new improvements and speed-ups which are very important for future development. For me, most important is device manipulation using CIO unit, which, besides other things, speeds up get and put operations on bytes. This unit does not require the use of file handling variables and block reads/writes using BlockRead and BlockWrite. You can open device and use Get, BGet, Put and BPut routines for direct device manipulation. Only thing I am missing is EOF handling similar to file variable handling (f.e. EOF(f)). I wonder if there will be any non-VBXE examples using {$define ROMOFF} directive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
