I tried asking Google this, but all I got was the problem CRT had in relation to Screen Burn, which didn't answer my problem question. It relates to a number of American TV shows, I can't remember which network, I call it the NCIS Network because the NCIS franchise of shows have it and I also...

I'm sorry, but the new Members page is useless. I simply cannot look for someone from a list of Members, very disappointed and if I try to find someone from the Find Member box, it will only search for an exact match. Please tell me there's a way of pulling up a List of all the Members.

I'm curious what peoples thoughts are regarding this language, which through the decades has been through many alterations and even through alterations, the language is continued to be called BASIC, even when it's been influenced by other languages. Though when I look at a flow chart of all the...

2 Things I discovered from the Journals: I came across a "Line Drawing Game for your Video Terminal" Oct 1976 page 30, or page 290 on Archive, written for an 8080 based machine, but I don't have much information about what that machine is, it uses a VDM (Video Display Monitor I presume), which...

I was wondering if anyone had any thoughts about how QBasic would deal with certain problems while shifting from it's Interpreted Form into the Compiled format, or if it's being written in a certain way to avoid certain problems. I can only draw upon experiences from my own system (Amstrad CPC)...

I noticed it there a few days ago, don't know how long it's been there, just thought it was in an odd place and that it remains to be a Altair 8800, not that I've got anything against it. Just wondered if it could be put to good use with a random computer and link to a page for it? Unless it's...

I was almost going to post this in the Turbo Pascal 5.5 Thread, and while the site I found had Pascal relevant information in it, there is also information regarding BASIC, C, Context (?), along with Projects Students have produced & some other Compilers: Anyway I was looking up a known BASIC...

Hello, I've stumbled across an unusual problem with this following program while using Turbo Pascal 3: program fibonacci; function fib(n:integer): integer; begin if (n <= 2) then fib := 1 else fib := fib(n-1) + fib(n-2); end; var i:integer; begin for i := 1...

Not sure if what I'm trying to do is possible with SETs. I was trying to write small program, so I defined: type palette=0..26; ink = set of palette; var col : ink; begin col:=[0,15]; ... all well and good, but now I want to extract that Data into a variable, which I think is...

I thought it would be useful to have one of these as a guide to all the variations of BASIC from all those 80s Vintage Computers. I found one that was scanned but the detailed scanned was incomplete, I guess because of the size of it being A2 I think they said and thought it might be better to...

This was on the 6pm News tonight? They failed to disclose what the Mobile Phone was (Make/Model), nor show any original B&W (yes Australia was still in B&W TV mode in 1973!), of this phone and instead opted to show some 80s footage of the brick they had from that period. But really in '73, did...

I was just wondering if anyone knows how a Pseudo-random Real Number formula is constructed. I have one though it appears to be Integer based which uses the linear congruential method which looks like this: Rn=(multiplier*Rn-1+increment) mod modulus Though I thought it would be handy to have...

Someone mentioned this on another forum, though I don't know a lot about the 8085, though they were saying that an 8085 was more like an 8086 and perhaps more advanced than a Z80. What puzzles me is Computers and Games Machines were using Z80, and the early Nintendo Gameboys had an Z80 in it...

I was wondering what everyone's perception of Pascal is these days. I was thinking that it's Dead in that other languages are being used instead, though I was wondering how many people out there still use it? Personally the Vintage Computer I use seems to have more emphasis on C based languages...

Hi Erik & folks! :D Would it be possible to have Spoilers incorporated into this forum? Spoilers are wonderful things, they allow to you use them in your posts and just recently discovered they can be in Signatures. They literally are the answer for large Signatures because the idea is the...

I've been trying a bit of Assembly which has been compiling the program as a COM file for use in CP/M. But I found it interesting to note that some COM files have a EOF Marker at the end, and just wanted to know if there was some significance behind this. I was having problems with my Assembly...

Don't be afraid, you can post your own Turbo Pascal stories or interests in here - doesn't matter which version your using! :D

Guess you're all wondering how a CP/M User could open up the first Discussion in an OS/2 based group! :shock: 'tis true I was using OS/2 Warp v3 when I was busy collecting Computers and spare bits, I had v3 running on a 386 running at 33Mhz which was great, though I when I got some 486 stuff -...

Just went through some of my old Programming Tips (GWBASIC) in the Programming section and at some stage things like Brackets "()" and colons ":" were replaced with numeric codes in the code tags. Not sure why this has happen, I'm guessing it was an update. I've since edited some of that, but if...

Hi folks, haven't been here in ages and it's looks all so different now! I wanted to just say that I had a programming website with some examples on it dedicated to Turbo Pascal 3 - some of those were generic programs and I even made a Generic game for it too based on a game written in BASIC...
