Hi again jrb, well I opened up the pkg file and found no palemoon-bin listed anywhere. A search of my entire system also failed to find any second palemoon-bin to the one associated with 27.9.4. I think I may have grabbed the first palemoon_28.0.1~repack-1_i386.deb on the page - which is the test ve...

Hi jrb, i bit the bullet and tried to update my v 27.9.x with https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/stevenpusser/Debian_Testing/i386/palemoon_28.0.1~repack-1_i386.deb in my Dpup Stretch 7.5 (RC3) setup. I followed your instructions but have come to a halt with the following message from t...

Thanks for the update, did18

Well - so long as you don't expect a Basic foot massage here - your toe is always welcome

Of course your input (toe) is welcome, musher0! (You washed it first?) I reckon you are quite correct on both counts - computer languages [EDIT: are more practical] with meaningful operators, as opposed to more esoteric codings (e.g., C or assembly language), and, having your story straight before c...

Kudos, 6502coder! You caught me before I was able to update my last summary with your VintageBasic reference... thanks again. With regard to your programming history I had a cultural disconnect by comparison - dunno if it was a trend here in Australia but we seemed to jump from the Vic20/C64 era, to...

A belated Thank You, and cheers very much for this resource, muggins!

EDIT: Works OOTB in radky's Dpup Stretch 7.5 (RC3)

HOW TO GET BASIC-LANGUAGE SOFTWARE WORKING NATIVELY IN PUPPY (??) Over a year has passed since my OP, and with a range of life issues taking over I haven't come back to a solution to my original problem since very recently. (Still in the tragic camp - e.g., https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BASIC#Nosta...

Thanks musher0 and fredx181 for stepping in and answering did18's queries for me - I appreciate it very much. Good luck for your recompile of Gambas3, but no hurry, cheers :). UPDATE: did18, I've sent you a PM about some problems on the Gambas website I have encountered - I don't know if you know th...

Funny how old habits die hard - if at all... had too much time on my hands recently and thought to assist my son with a high school assignment in javascript, found myself recalling my old and sketchy history with BASIC. Back here over a year later. Should update this thread with something that other...

rockedge - good call on the TahrRT version - I'll have a look at that... Mr Mike Walsh - we meet again :D! Well - the son had a Yahtzee javascript assignment for school to knock off later this week, and I volunteered to put my head in the noose and help him out using only first principles I had from...

Hi did18, thank you very much for updating the Gambas sfs package. Earlier this evening I downloaded your latest gambas3-3.11.4 32-bit sfs, for use in radky's Dpup Stretch 7.5 (RC3 - k 4.1.48 ). I checked first that the MD5 matched before I loaded the sfs (also 'copying' the sfs to root). Immediatel...

Wow thankyou for the rox tip Flash - and here I am flat out patting my head and rubbing my stomach at the same time :) But for copying over 30-odd folders of my digitised albums in one go, maybe rox copy isn't the bees knees for perfect playback. Some tracks have hiccups too on the usb that weren't ...

Flash you probably solved a mystery for me, regarding album playlists (flac files) copied over from my computer onto usb for playback in the car. Despite even including numerals at the start of track names so they can be played back in the original order, I couldn't work out why for some albums (e.g...

I really like this, johnywhy! Confirming that your script works very nicely indeed in radky's Dpup Stretch 7.5 (RC3), OOTB.

Any chance of a red tint, perhaps to neatly sideline a similar function served by Redshift GUI and the like? Just thinking... but not seriously, Cheers

Soz - wikipedia puts me straight on the servers being in NYC and Amsterdam

Hiya 8Geee, would Fastmail fit the bill for you? I started with an Operamail account in the 90's, and that morphed into a couple of paid Fastmail accounts through the years - am very happy indeed with the service. Although the servers were originally in Australia I believe - I don't know what the cu...

Hi clerk_gabel, I feel your pain, regarding Puppy "failing to launch" on your old laptop. Congratulations for persevering and getting it working on your desktop computer. Was it the same CD that you booted from in both computers? I have kept dozens of CD's that I burned Puppy isos onto, in...

Hope that handset is in Bakelite, like I remember from playing with when I were a preschool young'un. Oh wait - explains a bit... Ah, the loss of childhood innocence...
