Hi Antonio I am trying to be able to compile and link code from within a code generator I am writing. I can run the xHarbour compile step (ie .prg to .c) fine with: FUNCTION CompilePRG( str_PRGName )  LOCAL int_CompileReturn   ? "Compiling " + str_PRGName + ".prg to " + str_PRGNa...

Thanks Antonio

Code is most instructive. Should be put to good use shortly. First target will be native CUPS support. If done as a class it would presumably be TCUPS (teacups)?

Hi all I need to return an array (or perhaps write to an (x)Harbour array) from a C function where I have something like char **things I need to iterate through things like this (given that there are int num_things of things: for ( loop_counter = 0; loop_counter < num_things; loop_counter++ ) { // d...

This board is looking a little quiet with no new posts in more than 6 months. I have a need to record voice for subsequent transcription and there wasn't a Linux package available that I could see that fitted my needs (gnome-voice-recorder didn't have pause functionality, Audacity made the process t...

Hi Otto >From the ECR the directory() function or file() function needs 4 sec to notice that the ldb-file is deleted. >The IPAQ notice this within milliseconds. Curious! You are polling for the non-existence of a file from both the ECR and the IPAQs I assume. If the IPAQ consistently notices that th...

Hi all Using TIPClientHTTP one can interact with a web page where data is posted back to the server. But I want to interact with a web page where data is input into an embedded flash object where a Calculate button is then hit and an answer inserted. Does anyone out there know of a way of doing this...

Hi Carles I have meant to post a reply here for many days now but have been very busy with upgrades, visitors etc. I want to reuse this technique for another project and will post here shortly, probably in a new thread. Sorry its taking so long but I want to review and possibly neaten up my code. Re...

Hi all I just thought I should add that this technique can be used for many different purposes other than just database access. Pretty much anytime you want a process performed on another computer (or the same computer for that matter) with (optionally) information returned to the originating comput...

Hi Boris Yes, I am currently running 10 copies of my executable on the server each listening on a different port. I know its not very elegant and is not extremely scalable but I wanted to get up and running and it works. Threaded code would be the answer and indeed the code is designed to go threade...

Hello Boris Greetings from Australia. Very pleased to read your comments. Code has been working reliably for me for many months now. My server and clients are all Linux but recently I needed to be able to access some data generated and stored on a Windows PC and I could use almost exactly the same c...

> 1. Draw vertical lines to show control / flow structures I started thinking about how one might best do this in a nice structured, flexible way. If I was to write it my primary focus would be Linux and postscript printing but it wouldn't be too hard to do a Windows version. Just thinking about wha...

Thanks for the info. Now we all know why and whatwe can do about it.

Hi Uwe I can remember writing one back in the dBase III days (pre Clipper) which used the IBM extended character graphics to draw vertical lines with little horizontal bits at keywords such as IF ELSE ENDIF. Good for finding bugs when one was starting out and running as an interpreter. Clipper arriv...

OOps! I meant FileStr() NOT StrFile()! I was just calling as follows: FileData := FileStr( FileName ) That is I omitted parameter 2 (nBytes) so it should read the entire file (and does so under Linux) but under Windows seems to only read the first 30K or so. Sorry about mixing up FileStr() and StrFi...

Hi all I have just had to write some code to run on a Windows box. I wrote the code on a linux machine where it ran fine and then compiled under Windows. It compiled and ran but errored out. The problem turned out to be theFileStr() function which on Linux seemed to cope with fair sized files (certa...
