I can make basic BASIC programs, but i would like to make a shell that displays all of the basic programs in the archive and the ram, also i want to make it that it can play archived and unarchived programs. I have no idea where to start and i looked at like the source of one basic shell and couldn't understand some of it.
Can someone(s) help me make the shell and explain how it works and such? I will give more than reasonable amount of credit...
Sincerely,
Awesome1

| chances are that they used some ASM utlities to accompany the basic program. I am pretty sure that it is near impossible to create what you just said entirely in BASIC. That and it would probably run slow if it were in BASIC. ASM is the way to go if you want to make a shell. |

Basic shells are slow, large, and do almost nil (a select few actually look good after the graphix load) by themselves. without the help of asm, you cannot run programs (unless they are hard-coded), list programs, archive programs, etc.
*thinks for a moment*
maybe if DragonOS comes along smooth enough and enough ppl pester me, i might add a few parser hooks... |

Is that how you got so many posts Darth? 
Lol. Yeah it's true, you can't automatically name programs unless you use at least SOME ASM. You can't Unarchive/Archive/Delete without SOME ASM. ASM is your friend, use it like I should. If you don't, you could end up like me.  |

It makes sence to use asm in a basic prog to make it run efficiently but the problem is i have no experience with assembly programming and with school and regents and s**t, i don't have time to learn asm...But i figures it would be possible to make a basic shell for basic programs, Whether or not they get moved from archive to ram to run...

Fixed. :)

It's simply impossible to archive/unarchive/remove/copy programs, or display all the programs in the ram/archive/whatever in pure basic. You can run programs from basic programs, but only if you actually have the program's name in your source code.
prgmGAME works,
"GAME"->Str1
prgmStr1
Doesn't. |

How do you run the program thats stored on the string? Also coudn't you make a program that adds program to program string? But makes me ask another question---> How could u store the name of a multiple names on a single string?
I was reading something else about finding specific words or letters in a string...

Can't without Asm.

You could: "prgm"+Str1->Str1. Wouldn't do any good though.

You'd add a character, such as "," that you can't have in a program name, then add the next program's name. To find the programs, you could use inString( and sub(. |

| if you want an asm utility that rund Str0, hunt for ZRun on ticalc.org. it will run any basic/nostub asm program, archived or unarchived |

| If you're talking about on a BASIC shell, I'd assume it'd say Err: Version or something. I can't think of an error message that fitted so I used the Version one. |

it just returns to the basic program. it isnt asif some bum off the street came and programmed this...it was done well. if you specify a archived prog, it doesnt unarchive it. it copies it to prgmN141, executes it, then deletes prgmN141. if you have a prog in prgmN141, tough. i might change it so that it uses a hidden prgm... |

He was referring to a triple post (just the same thing 3 times, something must've gone wrong) from you, which I removed (note the Fixed comment from me). |

Ok, understood, but is it possible to make a basic shell? What about that program Codex? Coudn't u make a basic program run off a small asm program like codex?
what about filequark? thats written in basic and can display basic programs. I wanna make something like that only just lists the name of the programs on the ram and can run them... |

| BASIC Shell but has ASM on the inside. You can prolly make a BASIC Shell, but not many people would use it unless you SOMEHOW make a good one that is better than ASM which would be hard to believe. You have to use ASM any way you look at it to make a shell. |

But i can't program assembly... And i don't know anyone that can, so i guess im SOL, darn, now again. Thanx for the help people. Unless someone has the currage to try and teach me asm...
If you want to give it a shot e-mail me at: awesum1@rochester.rr.com
Just for a reference,
i know what asm is...
i have seen the source, but it's like looking at japanese to me
I can figure out what some parts are doing, like the
000004745
477800030---------}like that stuff for the animations or characters
00038747F
but thats about it...lol |

1) i know asm
2) that is compiled asm (come to think of it, that isnt animations or characters. that would be about enough code to turn the runindicator off and clear the screen. it would also crash your calculator, as there is no "ret" (C9)). the source looks like this:
Code:
ld a,e
sub d
add hl,hl
add hl,hl
bcall(_htimesl)
call ionfastcopy
ret
3) i do not have the time right now to teach it to you
4) if you look in the asm forum, there is a thread called "GOOD Asm Tutorials". i suggest you try there
5) i think what happened was that i tried to post and it sent the post data to the server, but took forever to return me to the page, so i clicked stop, then clicked on post again. etc. sorry if i caused any inconvinience, and DANG! Arcwiz is a fast mod....

Yeah, it's also been happening to me lately. But I just check if it's been double posted if something like that happends, and if it doesn't I still heck my post at least once.
