A new beta release or a full release will be available before the beta version expires.

Hi Dave

Not sure if it said 1.5.07 or 5.1.07

but it would appear it thinks i am trying to fool it not to expire even tho it hadnt.

When i switched my computer on today it said the 27th January, which is strange because i dont remeber altering it.

 

When i built it makes the windows error noise, and then seems to stop responding,i thought it was crashing but if you leave it for a while a message comes up

 

Your system clock appears to have been set back, possibly in an attempt to defeat the security system on this program. Please correct your system clock before trying to run this program again. If your clock is correct, please contact the author of this program for instructions on correcting this error (report code CCB-F).

 

Even tho i have set the correct date i get this.

The security system is rather clever, it detects interefence with the clock if the version is time limited.

The expirey on the current release (V6.60) is May 2007.

 

Which version are you using ?

Make sure you have the BoostBasic toolsuite selected, if its set to the wrong one you may get an error - Menu Settings->Toolsuite.

Hi Dave

Version is 6.60

Basic is selected.

 

OK the expirary is May 07 it seems strange that it has locked me out then.

 

I have 2 installations of this 1 at home, and 1 at work, so i can work on my project in both places and transport the source from 1 to the other.

Something strange happened at home last night as well, i found that what ever basic source i was compiling, the asm and lst file would not represent it, it always showed my main project in the lst and asm file even tho if i loaded a file called test that had a few lines of code in, and i then built it the lst and asm file would have the correct test prefix but still have the assembled code of the previous project, didnt matter what i did, the only way i could solve this was to delete the boost basic folder entirley and then drop a backed up folder that was created before the problem in place of it.

 

Anyway i am still trying to get my work 1 up and running, the home 1 is now ok.

 

I tried to delete the folder at work, to start a fresh installation but it would not delete.

 

these are problems i found so far.

 

 

 

sub main()

Dim ErrorPos as Integer

Dim DeadBand as Integer

Dim Sum as Integer

' this works

Sum = ErrorPos + DeadBand ' this works

If Sum < 0 then

Goto notnearpos

End if

goto indeadband

' this doesnt

If ( ErrorPos + DeadBand ) < 0 then ' this doesnt work

goto notnearpos

End if

 

notnearpos:

 

indeadband:

end sub

 

 

**********

also this doesnt fail gracefully

 

Dim Buffer(10) as byte

sub main()

 

call BufAdd()

 

end sub

 

sub BufAdd()

Buffer = "" ' a mistake didnt mean this to be hear

Buffer(0) = 0

End sub

 

I know theres a deliberate mistake but boost basic gives an access violation.which gives no clue as to where the problem is or what it is.

 

*************

When defining an interrupt sub

this works

 

sub interrupt()

Dim aa as byte

aa = aa + 1

end sub

 

This doesnt work but it doesnt report any errors you just dont get any code appear in the asm

 

sub Interrupt() 'note the capital I

Dim aa as byte

aa = aa + 1

end sub

******************************

I have found solutions with the problems above ,but i thought i would let you know, incase you were not awear of these.

 

Happy New Year

peterae,

 

This topic contains too much which makes it hard to reply sensibly.

Don't be afraid to start a new topic.

 

If you have found bugs please report them in the bugs forum.

Hi Dave

ok noted about bugs forum

 

I am still unable to use the IDE to build the project, the answer to your post #4

is version 6.60

and yes i have selected Basic from the toolsuite.

 

surely it would only look for date tampering when it has exired not before, so is this a bug or something ive done, and how can i get it compiling again.

 

Thanks

Peter

peterae,

How do i obtain the compiler build text.

 

Peter

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Press the build button ('B' on the tool bar).

After the build is complete copy and paste the text in the build output window into an email.

Hi Dave

 

It doesnt build, it comes up with an error as follows

 

Your system clock appears to have been set back, possibly in an attempt to defeat the security system on this program. Please correct your system clock before trying to run this program again. If your clock is correct, please contact the author of this program for instructions on correcting this error (report code 0,2940,2926).

 

the build window contains no code other than this

 

Building...

Removing Target: _obj

Failed to Locate output file '_.obj'

Done

 

is it the report code 0,2940,2926 you want me to email.
