A89: Basic AND ASM -- Read?
l know that Basic programmers usually stick to Basic and Asm programmers
almost ALWAYS stick to ASM, and the two languages never cross. Some ASM
programmers for these calcs don't even know basic. However, l've got a good
idea that l think would really help out Basic users, and would probably the
ASM programmer(s) something about basic.
What l'm talking about are Basic functions that have Assembly code -- They
would be like a regular function on the calculator, but be written in
assembly.
l'm sure that a lot of people who use the calcs can think of a few functions
that would be REALLY nice to have (more for non-users of 89/92's), but a real
important one comes to mind that l can think of.
l think that one of the best ways to manipulate file management in basic is
for an ASM programmer to write some code which could get things like file
names and folders for use in a Basic program. Before l posted something like
this, but only one person replied and so that was that. In short, here are my
ideas of two functions:
getfolds() - returns the names of all folds [ex: getfolds()
{"main","games","libs"} ]
getvars() - returns names of all vars in current folder [ex: getvars()
{"a","b","hexlib","hufflib","linelib","util"} ]
Even if you don't want to do this, at least respond and say something.
