Nice!

Do you mean like

rd /q/s C:\DOCUME~1\John\Cookies
rd /q/s C:\DOCUME~1\Jill\Cookies
rd /q/s C:\DOCUME~1\Johann\Cookies

?

It is always great to give a nice, complete example and to be completely ignored not only at the time the example was given, but also a full year later.

With Windows, there is no such thing as 'identical systems', alas.

Because of its age GW-BASIC has some difficulties handling the hardware/software changes that have occurred beneath it. XP's DOS...

Take it one step at a time with car and cdr:

define xs (((GOOD))((NIGHT)))

car xs --> ((GOOD))
cdr xs --> ((NIGHT))

car (car xs) --> (GOOD)
cdr (car xs) --> ()

As this thread is more than two years old, I don't think the OP is too interested in the answer anymore...
:X

Miranda has a lot of similarities to Haskell. I can't say for sure that I can help you, but post your question and we'll see.

Even if I can't, there are a lot of knowledgeable Haskell folks here...

If you are willing to play with the Windows Shell, you could probably get it to do what you want.

Something like this (starturl.vbs):

As no one has responded yet...

Batch files wait for each command to finish before continuing on to the next.

I am, however, surprised that

You are getting lost on syntactic sugar.
(define (foo x y z) (+ (- x y) z))
is sugar for:
(define foo (lambda (x y z) (+ (- x y) z)))

Likewise, inside the body of a lambda, using
(define (bar...

The OP already knows Alt-ENTER, and has complained that the resolution is poor, and asked how to fix the fixed-size Windows window.

I missed the 60k space question (sorry) but this is an old,...

A begin is implied in the body of a lambda.

The problem is that you have to be extra careful to keep data and code separate in scheme. You are mixing the two.

For example, the following is not...

The same problem?

I see nothing wrong with your code... (I can't test it myself ATM, as I'm just recovering from a system wipe and have yet to reinstall scheme.)

Do you think it might be...

Since no one else has responded, I'll throw in my $0.02, which isn't worth much when dealing with MFC.

How are you allocating the data? Is it all at once (in one big chunk)? The computer can't...

At the top of your main program (the .hsx file) you should have something like:

module MyProg where

import Char


In this example I named my .hsx file "MyProg.hsx" but you can name it...

That shouldn't work at all. Both upgraph and downgraph are defined to take a single argument, but you are passing multiple...

That could be the problem. Make sure also that you aren't calling...

You don't understand. CUI mode excludes fancy graphics. You can't display an image in CUI mode. You need to change to a graphics mode to display the image.

Bored, are we?

By displaying the picture file do you mean

Displaying the textual name of the file on the screen?
Displaying the graphical image in the file on the screen?

I don't know. What does your opinion of QuickBasic languages [1] have to do with the OP's question?

[1] which are, QuickBasic, QBasic, and FreeBasic, the latest being proof that the QBasic...

Why the bile, jwenting?

I agree with your sentiment, but QuickBasic/QBasic/FreeBasic is far from dead. Perhaps something a little more useful to the OP would be in order?

What do you mean by "upload"?

If you just want to display the picture, you will have to get a JPEG decompression library (QBasic can interface with DLLs that do this), and you will need to switch...

Actually, for the answer to (1), you can make the window text bigger by adjusting the font, but you'll need to do it in a shortcut.

You've asked one of those questions that starts flame wars. (Personally, I like Pascal.)

The real answer is: it doesn't really matter.

You might choose one language over another based on what...

I think that's actually part of the reason they called them procedures, because Scheme allows side effects...

The use of the word "combination" is another one of those Scheme goodies... But in an...

Thanks. Please keep in mind that the OP (and most other readers here) haven't read (nor will they) the R5RS.

The R5RS committee needed a word for a technical thing. They chose poorly (though,...

"Other" languages are those without a specific forum here at DaniWeb. For example, Perl has its forum, but Scheme...

Just as a random addendum. Above I said you could make your ADT as:
(define (rank card) (car card))
That's fine, but if you really want to wow, forget the fluff and just say:

I've never programmed one myself, but your son could go through the TI-BASIC WikiBook (http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/TI-Basic). It has examples and explanations galore, all in tutorial format.

Good...

Of course. You'll need to read up on recursion.

There is a basic principle: if you have a list
(a b c d)
(which, if you remember, is really:
(a . (b . (c . (d . ()))))
and if you can do...

Since a "hand" object is a list of cards, and you want to get a list of cards from a hand, all you need to do is return the hand:
(define (contents hand) hand)
Now, if a "hand" object were...

Yes. A card is a single object. If you want a list of cards, then store a list of cards, not a list of suits and ranks.


(define dead-mans-hand (list

There are no procedures in scheme, only functions. Whenever you say define, you are naming an expression that evaluates to something.

Hence, follow along:
(a-card 13 'spades) becomes
(make-card...

Good question! :-/

I do have to hit it fairly hard, and regularly. Sometimes with a good, heavy bludger. ;)

Yeah. As far as I am concerned, the computer is there to serve me, not the other way around. ;)

The MS article you linked references only which files may be corrupted for the error to occur....

If it is from any of the DOS 6.x series or Windows 9x then it is QBasic 1.1. However, the editor (EDIT.EXE) changed for Windows 9x. Since DOS 6 is a 16-bit OS and Win 9x is 32-bit, you might want to...

Since no one else has answered this...

I am not familiar with using MatLab. (I presume you mean MatLab.) However, you should be aware that affine transformations are matrix multiplications applied...

Hmm, I hadn't considered different versions. I'm using QBasic version 1.1, and everything is just piled in one folder on my G: drive. I run it from the default windows command prompt.

What version...

I'm running XP and QBasic and help work fine for me. I can't reproduce your problem. Sorry I can't help you further...
