Alcohol doesn't solve problems but then again neither does milk.

Big agreement. Those are used in almost all of my yabasic programs and a goodly part of the reason I use yabasic for system administration scripting

That should certainly be possible; I'll look into it.

Dear Yabasic People:
It is wonderful that yabasic works in both windows and linux/unix.
I have used it very very much in both of these operating systems
for many years.
Would it be very difficult to adapt it so that it also works under
the GNU operating system?
Our mainframe at work has just been changed and now works with this
instead of unix.
Thanks very much for your attention and for anything you can do in this matter.
Michael

Hello Michael, and welcome to the forums!

Have you tried compiling Yabasic on the GNU operating system? —Just to clarify, are you referring to the GNU Hurd?

Cheers,
Tom.

Hello. Sorry, Google translation.

1 - The command "INKEY$" should have an option to read the keyboard without any delay.
2 - The command "system" should have an option to launch a command to the operating system and continue to run the program without waiting for completion of the order released.
3 - Should enable a form to stop the redraw of the screen until you order to do so (as in BASIC-256 with "fastgraphics" and "refresh").
4 - Should enable the ability to play a sound (WAV, MP3 or other) in background mode.

At least that's what I'd like to me.

Thanks for your suggestions! I'll definitely take them into account. In Yabasic 3, inkey$ (or its equivalent) and the other ideas you mentioned will probably be implemented using modules.

Cheers,
Tom.

System does carry on without waiting if you put  an "&" at the end of the line, at least on Linux. This is standard for a linux shell.
