Thanks everyone,
Don, your post did help me out in many areas of concern I had, thank you. I use to fiddle with BASIC and BASICA but visual basic is scarier to me. I gave up the others because of the intense and strict fundamentalism of the code and function calls, you had to be very good in math to make most of it work right, not my expertise. I mean all the math functions and arrays and sub routines and if then else, on gosub return, the data base commands and the dimesional arrays that was just to much for me.
Larry my knowledge is mostly guess work not hard physical experience. I am still fairly new with the Hal program barely had it for about months now.[:p]
Any and all of my sugestions are just that. Just my imagination firing off on some wild tangent or something. I start thinking about things for hal and off it goes. I guess I was jsut scared to mess it up and have to start from scratch, i have had to due that so many times lately, my system picks up bugs from the web gets sick and dies, and I have to do a fresh install again.
Well enough of my wasting space on Mr Medekzsa's forum about my whinings about my problems, I must commend and congratulate everyone here on all the great work I have seen in here. Keep up the good work evryone.
I do have on question Don, which files are safe to edit in 5.0 and which are not. And is there any special pattern to adhere to when you do. I read where some were written in Binary and others not. I can see the use of binary files they are several time quicker in access fo the computer since they are in its only true language that computers speak. On 1 off 0 simple but comlex. I remeber dos used to have a binary converter for when you wrote an executable file you could convert it to run in binary format. well enough for now and thank you.[
