RE: [Yabasic-users] Suggestions

Hi!

Some more suggestion for yabasic:

- An instruction SWAP used to swap variable contents. Ie
SWAP a,b
would be equivalent to:
dummy=a : a=b: b=dummy
Of course, SWAP a$,b$ would be possible too, as well as
SWAP a(i), a(i+1)
which would be usefull for sorting subroutine.

- a new peek$():
PEEK$("librarypath")
would return the current librarypath (ie c:\yabasic\lib\
or /usr/yabasic/lib/ or whatever passed with "-librarypath")


- a extension of TIME$
TIME$("%H:%M") would return the same thing that the C function strftime.
So if I want the current day, I just call TIME$("%d").
