On Linux, the dynamic load library '-ldl' is used to dynamically
load/unload libraries at run-time.

Hi Hudson

      Thank you very mush for your kindness , KEY TAB is TAB of keyboard ,
it is ASCII code = 58 , my problem with I must be convert text file from
there are separate any field with TAB , but I'd know when I use unstring
command but don't know delimited by ????? , I use ';' cannot ,
I'm waiting for your answer.

Thank you.

Fun.

Hi,

I've just uploaded RPM of TinyCOBOL 0.59 to sf.net, which is built on 
Red Hat Linux 7.3 and gcc2.96.

Sorry, RH8.0 and gcc3.2 have not been available on my system yet. I will 
update the RPM later when my system is upgraded.

[Tiny-cobol-users] TinyCOBOL compiler version 0.59

[Bernard G. <bg...@fr...>]

Hi All,

The TinyCOBOL compiler version 0.59 is available for download at the TC
home page (1) and iBiblio (2) (well very soon for iBiblio ...).

This release contains mainly bugs fixes, and some enhancements.  It
includes
updates to the main compiler and run-time.
Support for internationalization (en, pr_BR, it, fr) has been added.
Improvements have been made in the following areas: multi-linecomment
entries in the identification division, run-time errorreporting, and
plenty
of new intrinsics.
Finally, there is now only one library, shared by default.

Please report any bugs and/or problems to the TC mailing list.

[Tiny-cobol-users] ./configure and multi platforms

[Matt V. <ma...@ve...>]

Hi all,

I'm currently attempting to make sure 0.59 builds on BeOS, and I'm 
hitting some similar problems to what I had on 0.57/0.58. With the 
advent of many other *nix-like systems I'm sure I'm not alone...

Basically, BeOS has a different root to file paths (eg /boot/home/
config as opposed to /usr/local) and, has the libm functions within 
another lib (libroot.so). Does anyone else see a case for adding at 
least platform dependant ./configure handling for libm and paths=3F

I have some suggestions, but I'd like to hear how its suggested to be 
done first. My own personal ./configure is horribly hacked.

[Tiny-cobol-users] Bug in accept_curses

[Debian L. U. <s.r...@gt...>]

Hi everybody.

I've just downloaded the last "development" branch of tiny-cobol, and
the accept_curses part of screenio.c does not work anymore: it does
not accept user input, locking the program.

The cause is trivial: variable "ib" is not initialized before
beginning the loop, so the test (ib < len) at the end of the
same loop may be always false (as it is for me).
Just adding an "ib = 0" before the "while (!endloop)" line fixes
the problem..

I will ask Afonso Bione for instructions on how to install a very big
package of his (with Eric Oliveira, coauthoring) POS full application.
It relies on a postgresql backend server, TinyCobol procedures for doing
CGI processing and sql database access, which have several dozen tables.
It is a full application done entirely on TC. Unfortunatelly, it is a
little complex, and I don't know to teach you how to install it.
That's why I will ask Afonso to do it!

Hi Alain,

Well, would be good TinyCOBOL have a version to Win32 platforms so many users using Win32 platforms..

I don't know if trying to mantain the Win32 platforms compability would make slow the TinyCOBOL development, since in windows platforms (with cygwin and mingw), TinyCOBOL uses the same libraries which it uses in Linux or FreeBSD platforms. To BeOS platform, I don't know about her..

> We works on Linux or not ?

Of course we work! :)
I work only with Linux(However I have a Win98 OEM copy because when I bought my machine, it came with it)  :(
Between Linux and Windows, even in desktop, I prefer Linux, but even so, the Win32 users exist... then would be good to create a Win32 version of TinyCOBOL..

No... Don't think on this way...

I agree with you. The test.code directory is not always up to date...

Ok, I don't know about this. In your opinion, does in our test.code exist any example which we can move to test_suite currently?

Separate from main compiler package? What?
1. A sub directory under development?
   (md development/samples)
2. A directory in same level of development?
   - rpragana
   - development
   - samples

Ok.

Your help is very welcome! In a while, I could develop a lot of samples using TinyCOBOL, this is a matter of time! :)
About tools I think it shouldn't be developed now..

I agree with you.. I was looking at the cgi-util homepage(1) and, to my surprise, the cgi-util license is now LGPL...

Yes, I know. Sorry for my forgetfulness..
