Can't tell you about running it on a phone, But I can say that GNU COBOL's not at all what I expected a freeware compiler to be. It's quite advanced with many feats one would expect of the high $$$ compilers and more. It "ports" through c, and you can cause it to save (retain) the c source code...

Write the values to an indexed file that is indexed by the values. Any duplicate value will cause a data exception, the duplicate will not be written to the file. Once all values have been written to the file, use the file to load the table. Steve

Quote "So I changed the driver " I assume DataCard's driver: click around the settings and read carefully. It's been awhile since I've configured their windows drivers, but I seem to recall the "save" routine was a seperate proc from the "change" routine, and it was not very evident. I'm an...

colin4228, I was not aware of the version difference, however I should of figured Microsoft would do that as they no longer support Win 98 or 98se. Sorry 'bout that. Anyway, to kill a process or process tree (win 98se), once you invoke process explorer, simply right click on the process...

Hmmm,,,,, This is what viruses do: 1) They replicate quickly. (Okay, Windows does that) 2) Viruses use up valuable system resources. (Windows does that too) 3) Viruses usually trash your hard disk if they are not controlled. (Alright, alright, Windows does that too) 4)...

You can also create a shutdown (and for that matter, a reboot) icon via shell32.dll. For the shutdown icon, create a shortcut (.lnk) on your desktop, right click on the shortcut icon, select "properties" and paste "C:\WINDOWS\RUNDLL.EXE shell32.dll,SHExitWindowsEx 1" (without the "s) into the...

For vastly improved control and display of "background" progs (actually all), go to http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896653.aspx Download the freewware prog "Process Explorer." Besides the excellent detail it displays, Process Explorer has a great kill feature that allows you...

As of 09/12 AVG downloads are still running incredibly slow; on an 8. line that routinely does better than 500 kbyte/sec down, 17.9 kbyte/sec is the best so far. That translates to approximately 55 minutes for the version 8 installable (5.some megbyte file). Steve

joepiemeloenie, How about a format 4 inspect; INSPECT YOUR-IDENTIFIER CONVERTING "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz" TO "ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ" Steve

A hammer and some effort would do nicely, that is if one sufficiently mutilates the tape contained inside. May be a good way to relieve some of the job related stress too. Steve

Webrabbit, Correct on both counts; it was known as the "E" compiler, and I believe it was DOS release 23 for that systems final years. Tom, That compiler did run on the mod 30, and we had an "F" compiler that ran as well, that is "F" being Full American National Standard COBOL, although it...

webrabbit, That sure goes back aways. From IBM System Reference Library, IBM system/360 Disk and Tape Operating Systems COBOL language Specifications (Fourth Edition, November 1966) File Number S360-24, Form C24-3433-3 Page 73; This was my first encounter with COBOL, running on a 360 model 30...

Expected (Identical) result with Fuzitsu COBOL97 V6L10 for Windows. Steve

I'll beat it one more time. LawnBoy, The definition of a diode is an electrical device that allows current to move through it in one direction with far greater ease than in the other. A forward biased diode allows current to pass through with some (usually minor) loss, a reverse-biased diode...

The “unplugme” is a classic sign that the psu's tripping one of it's overvolt/crowbar protection circuits. In the "old" days an overvolt/crowbar protector consisted of a silicon controlled rectifier (SCR) with it's cathode and anode wired across the particular direct current (D.C.) output's plus...
