[BR_forum] Launching BR

You can set the WSID from the command line. What happens if you use WSID=SESSION in your brconfig.sys and you specify a four digit WSID in the startup command? What if you generate a special brconfig.sys statement before launching your copy of BR? Can you set the session in any of those ways? Gabrie...

[BR_forum] NWP Printing

You can draw boxes without words by turning boxmode on and printing spaces, just like you said. PRINT #255: "[BOX]| |[/BOX]" And it will print an empty box. If you want the box to be more rows tall you just need to say: PRINT #255: "[BOXTOP]| |" PRINT #255: "[BOXVERTICALS]| ...

[BR_forum] NWP Printing

If the release notes say there is support for Eright_justify, what they probably mean is that you can print CHR$(13) & "right_justify" and everything you print after that statement until the next justify statement will be right justified with an algorithm that lines up the decimal poin...

[BR_forum] Take That, BR!

I added Select Case and Precompiler Constants to BR last night. :) Thats right. I can write select case statements, and my "add line numbers/compile" routine will convert them on the fly to if/then/elseif then/elseif then/end if statements Post generated using Mail2Forum (http://www.mail2f...

[BR_forum] Version control

If you don't mind my asking, how does it work? I mean, do you use it for BR? I'd like to find a good solution for protecting BR source code. I know if you work with BR entirely in source code text files (like I usually do) then you can integrate any source code repository product with it. VSS integr...

[BR_forum] Run Hidden

I've heard in 4.2 there is. In linux we can get around the interface by typing the command: ./brnative >xxx where brnative is the name of the executable for BR. The >xxx redirects all screen output to go to a file called xxx instead. In windows, you can at least get rid of the splash screen by (a) m...

[BR_forum] statements on the internet

BR is only active for a split second while the html is being generated. You would only have a problem if 10 users clicked the button at the exact same millisecond. Nobody has to wait, there are no lines to stand in. Gabriel 2008/8/11 John Bowman <gothnerd@gmail.com ( gothnerd@gmail.com )> so it does...

[BR_forum] statements on the internet

Its actually a good solution for high volume usage. Php is extremely fast, and BR is extremely fast, especially when working with simple input and output to BR internal files and display files only. The actual data sent from client to server and back to client is very minimal. We're talking probably...

[BR_forum] statements on the internet

Actually, something we learned from this, you can't call a function in a function library from a proc, or else BR becomes unstable and sometimes (randomly) crashes. I understand Gordon and Dan are working to fix that problem in 4.2. You similarly can't call a function in a function library from the ...

[BR_forum] statements on the internet

Nope. The PHP Server simply launches a copy of BR and BR creates the html file directly by printing to a display file. No ODBC, no learning anything new, no complications, no mess. The entire thing is written in BR, and we can write a php BR Web Page to provide access to ANY data from your BR progra...

[BR_forum] statements on the internet

We wrote a simple system that allows you to call BR library functions from Php Web pages. Your Php page simply calls the BR function it needs. BR Launches, runs your function and then exits. You design your functions to generate a display file with the data (usually formatted in HTML), and php displ...
