Re: Problem with the path to the Library folder

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

Re: Forum zip files

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...

Re: Forum zip files

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.

Re: Forum zip files

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...

Re: Default Variable Assignment

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...

Re: problems with wiki access??

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?

Re: problems with wiki access??

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...

Re: Default Variable Assignment

Variable declarations as well as constants etc still need to be declared *before* the main statement block. This has not changed.

The problem has been fixed. We will post an update very soon. Note that your second case (boolean = 1) will not work. A boolean can only be true or false. Apologies again for this faux pas...

Re: Clock Speed

Jerry is correct. It looks like delayMs() and delayUs() when clock < 1 causes the problem. Note that even if your main code block does not use either of these calls, the LCD module certainly does (for timing). I can confirm that removing all calls to delayXx() negates the issue (please do not do thi...
