Swordfish

Thanks for this Jerry...

The site will be unavailable occasionally over the next few days. Please don't panic! Performing important updates...

I'm not aware of problems with my email.

However, do what Jerry suggests. #

PM me on this board and include your Swordfish registration number. I can then get the latest compiler build to you...

Dave

You will see an *.idf file if you have COFF enabled. For example:

myProgram.bas

will generate

myProgram.idf

in the same folder as your *.bas file

It's located in the same folder as your main program *.bas file. Ensure that:

View...Compile and Program Options
"Generate debugger COFF file"

is enabled

The priority is:

(1) folder that contains the main program you are compiling

then

(2) swordfish user library

then

(3) swordfish standard library

it has always been like that - no changes have been made to include lookup priorities

You will need to install a version of MPLAB (it's still available from the microchip site to download). The builder will not work with MPLABX.

You have described the correct behaviour for an install > c:\users\g\documents\swordfish\userlibrary still did not exist An operating system may have multiple accounts. So when the application is first run it creates a unique copy of certain directories to ensure that if any changes are made by an i...

You could try enabling "VIEW...EDITOR OPTIONS" -> "Display Full Filename in Application Title Bar" to see where any file is located.

I think it's something along the lines of what bitfogav was saying. Maybe it was to do with the move to phpBB3 - I really don't know. Assuming for a moment it is. And the files are stored as ascii and not binary, you may have a very small chance of converting ascii to binary with some utility *provi...

The change over to phpBB3 happened much earlier. I think 2014. Certainly your idea of a FTP transfer that incorrectly auto detected ASCII rather than binary would fit *but* I haven't touched the files directory at all using any kind of FTP process.

I do not know what has happened. phpBB stores attachments under a directory called "files". It seems that a number of these files have become corrupted. My rolling backup only goes back to May 2020. When I try and restore from then, the files are still damaged. I have no idea what has caused this. I...

When I originally designed Swordfish, the aim was to be as "familiar" to some other basics - where you didn't need an explicit procedure "main" entry point - like PROTON or PICBASIC. In hindsight, I agree with you. Having an explicit entry point would have made things a lot easier. Particularly with...

I've tried the site today using geopeeker and geotargetly. The site appears to render correctly in USA and other countries (except Singapore, who are blocked because of SPAM).

Maybe a temporary issue?

This is really strange. The forum is hosted on the same server as the wiki. I'm proxied through cloudflare. Maybe that's an issue? It seems ok in UK but not in USA.

Can anyone else confirm working / not working against their location? Thanks.

I'll look into it more tomorrow...
