BxbAsm

[SteveA]

The attached wherexy.asm is the same one I have.

Edit: the attached bxblib.lib has the same problem.

Then, I can't imagine what the problem might be.
The function "wherexy" controls cursor placement for INPUT statements.

The problem must be elsewhere. I'll go thru the main code and see if I can find it.

EDIT:
Okay...........
I think I've got it,
when I originally stripped this version down, I commented-out some of the ".asm" code that called "wherexy".
The source code and EXE I had sent you was still containing that "blocked-out" code, where as mine was fine.

Your attached library has the problems mentioned before.
It appears you can't use Lcc to create object modules.

Yeh, it's doing something strange.
I don't know why that is, but it certainly is adding something to the ".obj".
I'm going to have to ask Jacob Navia about that.

That fixed it.

Steve,
  I don't think Random I/O is working.
The file created by test46 shows binary data when viewed.

you will have to include lcc library files anyway in order to build  asm -> exe using bxblib.lib because lcc does not use msvcrt for conio.

No,
actually, it's working.
If you view the .txt file in an editor other than notepad, (like wordpad), it will display.

Steve,
  Test 48 crashes.

James

[SteveA]

 Test 48 crashes.

Not on my machine.
I'm using the same Bxbasm.exe as I uploaded to you this AM.

This is the code for #48:

Code: [Select]

'-----cut-n-paste------'
'  test.bas version 48
    DIM az#=1.012345, bz!=123.456
    DIM cz%=123456, dz = 12345, rec = 1, ix = 0
    DIM A$ = "", B$ = "", C1$ = "", D$ = "", E$ = ""
    DIM w$ = "end"
    CLS
'
    OPEN "R", #1, "test.txt", 34
    FIELD #1, 4 AS A$, 4 AS B$, 8 AS C1$, 8 AS D$, 10 AS E$
    FOR ix = 1 TO 5 STEP 1
        LSET A$ = MKI$(dz)
        LSET B$ = MKI$(cz%)
        LSET C1$ = MKS$(bz!)
        LSET D$ = MKD$(az#)
        RSET E$ = w$
        PUT 1, rec
        rec = rec + 1
    NEXT ix
    CLOSE 1
    CLEAR
'
    OPEN "R", #1, "test.txt", 34
    FIELD #1, 4 AS A$, 4 AS B$, 8 AS C1$, 8 AS D$, 10 AS E$
    GET 1, 1
'
    az# = CVD(D$)
    bz! = CVS(C1$)
    cz% = CVI(B$)
    dz =  CVI(A$)
    PRINT "az#="; az#
    PRINT "bz!="; bz!
    PRINT "cz%="; cz%
    PRINT "dz ="; dz
    CLOSE 1
' ------------------------------------------
TheEnd:
  END
' ------------------------------------------


It executes correctly.

EDIT:
Attach your ".asm" file for test48.

[jcfuller]

Steve,
  I tried with your bxbasm.exe from today, and mine that I created from your source of today. Same results.
I also tried both yours and my  bxblib.lib. same
I also included the test.txt file

James

[SteveA]

I assembled your test48.asm and it is working just fine.
I compared your test.txt with mine and it is correct.

Explain to me what you mean by "crash".


EDIT:
This is what the stored (binary) data looks like in wordpad:

[jcfuller]

Steve,
  here's what I get:

Edit: Win7/64

[jcfuller]

Steve,
  Here's the exe.

James

[SteveA]

Test48.exe executes absolutely fine on XP.

James,
Since I have no way of testing it, all I can figure is to eliminate a section of code and see where the breaking point is.
The test.txt file is correct. I can only assume that it's working correctly up to that point.
So, I'd comment-out this entire block:

Code: [Select]

'    CLEAR
'
'    OPEN "R", #1, "test.txt", 34
'    FIELD #1, 4 AS A$, 4 AS B$, 8 AS C1$, 8 AS D$, 10 AS E$
'    GET 1, 1
'
'    az# = CVD(D$)
'    bz! = CVS(C1$)
'    cz% = CVI(B$)
'    dz =  CVI(A$)
'    PRINT "az#="; az#
'    PRINT "bz!="; bz!
'    PRINT "cz%="; cz%
'    PRINT "dz ="; dz
'    CLOSE 1


and see if it compiles end executes correctly.
Then, little by little, uncomment lines until we find the one that breaks.

I can't tell if it's a win7 issue or a 64-bit issue.

Steve,
Runs fine when commented but crashes if only CLEAR is uncommented so that appears to be the culprit.
