    A question about the clock.

    The original version was written entirely in language assembly, while the successive version, from dBase III, was written entirely in language C. Google Perhaps ASSIST was written in the same language?

    A question about the clock.

    Keep in mind that in ASSIST it works WITHOUT any key pressed... The watch works from the beginnig [ponder] Definitely, it must be written in other language.

    Good luck! [thumbsup2] Get in touch if you find something interesting.

    A question about the clock.

    ...but the clock stopped working when the option question appeared... If the option appears, it means that, for some reason, has left the DO WHILE. I don't know, I would have to watch the program or know more about Foxpro. You gave me the clue when you said "...be activated once when you run...

    A question about the clock.

    Good Day, Next, I show how I inserted it into a program that I use frequently: CLEAR option=' ' set color to n+/b @ 24,1 say 'Date:' @ 24,6 say date() @ 24,65 say 'Hour:' set color to gr+/r @ 24,30 say ' Press any to Start ' store 0 to ab,ac,ad,cd,ct...

    A question about the clock.

    If you notice any "flickers" in the time, add the following: * store 0 to ab,ad,ac,cd,CT && preparing the varibles to be used waa=' ' * clear DO WHILE .T. if ad=0 do while ac=ab ab=ab+1 enddo if ac=ab-1 store substr(time(),1,8) to waa...

    OK thanks, I'll keep it in mind.

    A question about the clock.

    Tried! It's has worked for two and a half days on one of my applications that I use frequently.

    A question about the clock.

    I did it (without dBase V), of corse, with adding some stuff (how to stop) *DO.PRG * store 0 to ab,ad,ac,cd && preparing the varibles to be used waa=' ' * clear DO WHILE .T. if ad=0 do while ac=ab ab=ab+1 enddo if ac=ab-1 store...

    dBase iii+ Do While problem

    However, dBase has some commands not valid for Clipper...

    dBase iii+ Do While problem

    AAh... that's why I asked for VALID. I don't know Clipper, I used it only to compile programs written in dBase. For example: CLIPPER C:\PERSONNEL.PRG PLINK86 FI PERSONNEL

    A question about the clock.

    Pardon!! I misread the book's date. The correct date is 1987 I'am sorry... [sad]

    A question about the clock.

    Thank you very much. [smile] beforehand = at an earlier time These words mean at an earlier time.

    A question about the clock.

    "When the updates were released Ashton Tate would list the new commands/functions with descriptions and examples. This is what normally happens when updates are released for any software." OK this is known, but this does not answer my concerns, nor the fact of the dates. Ashton Tate knew...

    dBase iii+ Do While problem

    I anticipate that I am not sure of Joe's demands. The DO WHILE loop is set to not accept inputs other than "TbBN", to avoid exiting the loop when an invalid key is pressed (modifiable). The end of the DO CASE is done for convenience in case you want to continue typing or you want to exit...

    A question about the clock.

    Thank you for the dates. Anyway, the books I have were printed BEFORE any of those occasions (1977). How can you be so sure a piece of dBase V was added if you don't even know the code? Do you imagine? Can you prove it?

    dBase iii+ Do While problem

    My version: CLEAR ALL CLEAR SET TALK OFF USE BLACK bwcheck = " " && assign a blank value OPTION = " " && assign a blank value @ 7,1 SAY 'Only characters "T,b,B,N" will be accepted' DO WHILE .NOT. OPTION $ 'TbBN' @5,15 SAY 'BWCHEK: ' GET BWCHECK READ DO CASE CASE bwcheck...

    A question about the clock.

    Here I have a couple of old (used) books from the "Qsborne / McGraw-Hill", both original from 1977, and in any of them, specifically in Using dBase III Plus, the famous clock already appears on the ASSIST page. In 1977? I have no idea when dBase V came out, but surely AFTER dBase III, dBase IV...
