# TortoiseSVN 9(32 bit).
# Boost c++ libraries 1.34.0 .
# Visual Studio C++ Express Edition.
# Downloading & Installing Platform SDK.

==Downloading & Installing WinRAR:==

# Go to www.download.com.
# In the the search engine, type WinRAR.
# Look for WinRAR 3.7, its would normally be first of the download list.
# Click on the big button saying Download WinRAR.
# You come to another web page, wait for a moment, and a little window pop up asking whether to save or run. It would be advisable to save it in a folder called Downloads. (If you haven't already done so).

# Click Install.
# A window should pop up called WinRAR set-up, click Ok.
# Done.

==Downloading and Installing PostgresSQL:==

===Part 1: Downloading & Installing PostgresSQL===

# Go to http://www.postgresql.org/
# In the search engine at the top right hand corner copy & paste postgresql-8.1.9-1.zip and press enter.
# Click the one pointed to you by the red arrow [[Image:getpgSQL1.jpg]] if not included, look for something similar, keeping in mind you need the postgresql-8.1.9-1.zip)
# Click on the link shown to you by the red arrow [[Image:FTPbrowser.JPG]]
# Click the link "Win32"
# Click the link "postgresql-8.2.5-1.zip"
# Now a window will pop up asking whether you want to save or run the installation program. Save it in your download folder, if you haven't created one do so. The purpose of having a Download file is that every time you download a big file you save it so that you don't have to waste your time downloading it again. However with small files, there is no point in saving them because of the small amount of time they take to download.
# Look in your download folder for postgresql-8.1.9-1.zip
# Right click on postgresql-8.1.9-1.zip click Extract to postgresql-v8.1.9-1.zip\
# Go to the folder you just extracted to in your download folder.
# Double click on the file postgresql-8.1.msi, and to check whether you have the right version, look at the size, is it 134Kb.
# A window should have popped up, saying what language you want to use in the installation. Select your preferred language. (if you have any other windows close them down and SAVE your work)
# This window is important, so don't miss any thing out. Scroll down to Database drivers, and click on the small triangle pointing downwards, a small list of options will appear click "Entire feature will be unavailable".
# Scroll to the very bottom to Development, now just like the other one click on the small triangle pointing downwards and again the options will appear, this time click "Entire feature will be installed on your local driver". Click Next.
# In the next window type into the User name field any random name, as you will not have to remember it. Then click Next. Click Yes. Click Ok.
# In the current window there are some drop down menus you MUST change:
#* The field next to Encoding, use the drop down menu to find UTF-8.
#* The field next to Locale, use the drop down menu to find your language.
# Type in a password and take a note of it and click Next.
# Then you come to a window called Enable contrib modules, tick Tsearch2 near the right hand side and click Next.
# Then to start the Installation click Next.

===Part 2: Set-up & Configuration===

# Go to your start menu, all programs, PostgreSQL 8.1, pgadmin III. Click the close button for the tips.
# Double click on PostgreSQL database server 8.1 (Localhost:5432), and it will ask you for the password you took note of in Part1 of the exercise. Type it in.
# On the right hand side of the window there are the files of the SQL Server. To make a new database right click on Database(1)and click the New Database option. Type in NEOSYS into the name field and click Ok.
# On the right hand side of the window look for Login Roles (1), at the bottom of the list.
# Right click it and click the New Login Role.
# Type in NEOSYS into the name field [[Image:loginrole.JPG]] 
# Type in a pass and make a note of it.

==Downloading & Installing Tortoise SVN (32bit):==

# Go to your browser, copy and paste the web address into your URL "http://subversion.tigris.org/project_packages.html".

# The web page should have a title of "Subversion packets", and have a dark green theme.
# Scroll down the page, and look for Windows NT, 2000, XP and 2003.
# Look through the text for "If you want a pretty Win32 GUI, TortoiseSVN integrates nicely with the Window Explorer.", near the bottom. Click on the link highlight in blue (tortoiseSVN).
# Look for "Latest Version" in a green bar and underneath that, in the text look for "download page" and click it.
# You should be looking at a web page with a blue tortoise. The title should also be "TortoiseSVN".
# Look for the subheading "Download Application"
# Click on "TortoiseSVN-1.4.5.10425-win32-svn-1.4.5.msi 32 bit.
# You come to a web page with a URL starting with "http://sourseforge.net/ bla bla bla bla", either a window automatically pops up asking whether to save or run, or you right click on a beige horizontal bar at the top of the web browser window, and select "Download file".
# Click Save, and save the file into your download folder. (make a folder named download, if you haven't already done so) then click Run, and click Run again.
# When the TortoiseSVN window set-up pops up, click next.
# Accept the terms, and click next.
# Click next again, then click Install.
# Then installation program will ask you to restart.

== What is Exodus? ==

Exodus is a way to do traditional pick-basic programming in C++.

It was conceived and created by Steve Bush of NEOSYS Software as a way to move classic pick/multivalue basic into a classic industry standard environment with the minimum of upheaval.

Many people would like to migrate their classic pick/mv based applications into industry standard environments however they have so much code that relies on the nuances of pick/mv, or their programmers are so used to pick-basic, that it is virtually impossible to move.

Exodus is released under the MIT licence so you can use it in closed source projects without fee.

== It is a Database or a Language? ==

EITHER OR BOTH!

You can use Exodus for:

Pick-style Programming (requires a C++ compiler)

OR

Pick-style Database Use/Management (requires a Postgres Database)

OR

Both together

You can do Exodus Pick-style Programming WITHOUT having or using a database and you can use Exodus command line utilities to do have a Pick-style Database without having a C++ compiler.

== Twin Issues ==

Exodus provides replacements for both language and storage but each part could be very valuable to add sql storage to an existing pick language or a language to an existing pick database.

=== Language Replacement ===

Use C++'s operator overloading feature to make C++ behave almost like, if not exactly look like, pick-basic programmers expect and be usable for classic pick-basic style application programming.

=== Database Replacement ===

Use standard SQL databases (currently Postgres) transparently as a pick style storage mechanism ensuring full SORT/SELECT functionality including dictionary items (columns) that invoke routines written in the pick-basic style CC++ environment.

== Twin syntaxes ==

=== Classic Pick &quot;Global function&quot; style syntax ===

print(oconv(extract(xyz,1,2,3),&quot;MD20&quot;)));

This is standard Exodus C++ syntax. Only the representation of print as function &quot;print()&quot; instead of a command &quot;print x&quot;, - and the trailing ; gives it away as C++.

Pick programmers are used to this syntax and many will want to stay with this style for whatever reason.

It is a pity that C++ syntax doesnt allow the easy-to-write and easy-to-read pick-like array extract/replace like xxx&lt;1,2,3&gt; or x&lt;3&gt;=&quot;x&quot;. A great shame but not a killer.

=== Classic OO &quot;Method Chaining&quot; syntax ===

xyz(1,2,3).oconv(&quot;MD20&quot;).print();

or if you prefer ...

xyz.extract(1,2,3).oconv(&quot;MD20&quot;).print();

This is standard Exodus C++ code.

Variable xyz is one of Exodus' &quot;var&quot; objects and xyz(1,2,3) does an &quot;extract&quot; ... which just produces another var object which is then processed by the oconv method and then printed.

What this actually does is: From variable xyz, extract field 1, multivalue 2, subvalue 3 then oconv it, then print it.

More C++ish style is also acceptable:

cout&lt;&lt;xyz(1,2,3).oconv(&quot;MD20&quot;);

So a &quot;pick variable&quot; object (or class) Mv has all the various pick functions as methods. This means that you can use OO-like method chaining syntax. This is often the way people think in OO languages. In OO it is considered easier to understand code if you can simply read from left to right and it gives you the operations in the order that they are performed. As much as some people may not like OO method syntax, the many more people today are more comfortable with it than global function style.

== Why not just Python or PHP? ==

Both of these are great languages to start new projects and many people using Pick language will have looked at the possibilities of porting to them.

However there are many subtle differences between the languages and, if you have thousands of lines of old code you dont have time to sort out all the subtle bugs without a complete rewrite with a programmer familiar with the intricacies of both languages.

Generally the objective is to convert often hundreds of thousands of lines of pick basic fairly accurately into another language. Changing syntax is laborious - but doesnt require highly skilled programmers. However any subtle changes in semantics (how operators and functions work exactly) means that ports are unreliable which is far more costly.

This means that the syntax can be changed when porting as long as not too bad then we will all get used to the new syntax. It also means that the sematics must remain almost identical otherwise people will be hunting down bugs forever. Anybody who has looked at replacing pick will have come to the same conclusion. porting needs meticulous rewriting into the new language mentality due to nuances in how the basic principles of how variables behave.

Python and PHP operators and variables just dont BEHAVE like pick operators and variables in too many cases.

=== Unpredictable overloading ===
Most modern dynamically typed languages suffer from the catastrophically inappropriate carry over of the concept of operator overload from statically typed languages. This means that you cannot trust what operators like + and * will actually do. Pick-basic, although dynamically typed, does not suffer from this. Pick's + will always do an arithmetic plus and fail if non-numeric strings are presented to it. Pick's * will always do an arithmetic multiply and fail if non-numeric strings are presented to it.

You just cannot trust dynamically typed languages that do operator overloading based on dynamic type. Accidents waiting to happen and frequently do.

=== Example PHP problems ===

This is a very tiny list of all the problems that exist. By problem we mean difference in way of processing, not that one way is wrong or right.

==== PHP * operator ====

If you give it a variable that happens to contain a string then, instead of converting it to a number to multiply numerically, it will repeat the string n times! This is fine for php people who are used to it ... but cause chaos when converting and maintaining pick code in php.

&quot;100&quot;*10 in php is &quot;100100100100100100100100100100&quot;

of course it isnt written as &quot;100&quot;*10 in code .. it is written as mynumber*10 ... BUT what happens depends on what data type happens to be in mynumber during execution

==== PHP . operator (concatenation) ====

It is very astute of PHP to have a special concat operator even if it does seem almost impossible to read to pickies used to a : for concat. Most other languages dont have proper concat operator at all. But then from the point of view of Pick-basic it has the wrong precedence.

php's concat operator (the dot) has the same precedence as + and - whereas in Pick, concat has a lower precendence than the arithmetic operators. This subtle difference introduces endless opportunity for hard to track down bugs if you try to simply translate large amounts of code from pick-basic to php.

==== Lack of GOTO ====

This makes porting of some existing pick-style programs very difficult (requiring refactoring with consequent risk of bugs). C++ has the GOTO statement.

== Concat operator ==

The ability to concat variables in precisely the same way as pick does is very important if you are going to move pick applications into any other language.

eg in pick if you concat two variables that happen to be numbers - using the pick &quot;:&quot; operator you will still get a string out. ie concat in pick means concat. it DOESNT means add if the arguments happen to be numeric. the concat operator missing in c++ because it is strongly typed and it (and you) can tell from arguments whether it will add or concat

in exodus, &quot;variables&quot; are a c++ class that behaves like a pick variable very very closely so you can port pick basic without being nervous of subtle bugs due to differences in mentality of the other language designers.

== Why Postgres? ==

Open source and technically very open and easy to extend with new datatypes etc.

Postgres is widely available and well supported on all major platform. There has been very strong interest in and development of Postgres since Oracle bought up the MySQL's underlying database.

Postgres licence in BSD so can be used in anyway you like whatsoever including using bits of the source code in your own code without GPL restrictions.

There is a draft driver to use OpenQM instead of Postgres.

== Why Boost? ==

Best of breed and is the prime place that C++ standards are worked out.

== Portability ==

Written in standard C++. Currently builds with GNU gcc and MSVC 2005+

== Downloading and Installing Exodus ==

http://code.google.com/p/exodusdb/downloads

== C++ Compiler ==

If you want to write or compile Exodus programs on Windows you need a Microsoft C++ compiler. You don't need a C++ compiler to just used the Exodus command line to access the database or run prepackaged Exodus programs.

=== MSVC ===

*Visual Studio 2003 Professional
*Visual Studio 2005 Professional
*Visual Studio 2005 Express (Requires Platform SDK)
*Visual Studio 2008 Express
*Visual Studio 2010 Express

A standard install of the free VS Express C++ preferably in the default location on C: or parallel default location but on the same drive as Exodus. No need for any SQL or options.

http://www.microsoft.com/Express/vc/

== Postgresql ==

If you want to use Exodus to provide multivalue database functionality then you must already have or install a PostgreSQL database.

http://www.postgresql.org/download/windows

Postgres does not have to be on the same server as Exodus, however, if it is not, dictionary entries cannot call Exodus subroutines.

=== Windows Postgres plugin ===

At the time of writing, the Windows installer does not install the postgres plugin automatically so you need to do something like the following.

copy "C:\Program Files\Exodus\10.10\lib\pgexodus-8.dll" "C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\8.4\lib\pgexodus.dll"

copy "C:\Program Files\Exodus\10.10\lib\pgexodus-9.dll" "C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\9.0\lib\pgexodus.dll"

=== Postgres configuration ===

By default, Exodus assumes the following postgres configuration. This is very convenient for quick setups but of course is not secure.

host=127.0.0.1 port=5432 dbname=exodus user=exodus password=somesillysecret connect_timeout=10

The following Exodus command creates the default database and password. It prompts for a postgres admin user and password to do so.

configexodus

Alternatively, you can use any available Postgres utility to create an initial database and user yourself. If you wish Exodus to be able to create databases, and drop any databases it creates, the user you create should have database creation rights. The user you create does not need admin rights.

Storing the configuration

notepad %USERPROFILE%\.exodus

host=127.0.0.1 port=5432 dbname=exodus user=exodus password=somesillysecret connect_timeout=10

The following environment variables can override default and .exodus parameters on a one by one basis.

set EXODUS_HOST=127.0.0.1
set EXODUS_PORT=5432
set EXODUS_DBNAME=exodus
set EXODUS_USER=exodus
set EXODUS_PASSWORD=somesillysecret
set EXODUS_TIMEOUT=10

== Using Exodus ==

Start, All Programs, Exodus, Exodus Console

What is Exodus

== What is Exodus? ==

Exodus is a way to do traditional pick-basic programming in C++.

It was conceived and created by Steve Bush of NEOSYS Software as a way to move classic pick/multivalue basic into a classic industry standard environment with the minimum of upheaval.

Many people would like to migrate their classic pick/mv based applications into industry standard environments however they have so much code that relies on the nuances of pick/mv, or their programmers are so used to pick-basic, that it is virtually impossible to move.

Exodus is released under the MIT licence so you can use it in closed source projects without fee.

== It is a Database or a Language? ==

EITHER OR BOTH!

You can use Exodus for:

Pick-style Programming (requires a C++ compiler)

OR

Pick-style Database Use/Management (requires a Postgres Database)

OR

Both together

You can do Exodus Pick-style Programming WITHOUT having or using a database and you can use Exodus command line utilities to do have a Pick-style Database without having a C++ compiler.

== Twin Issues ==

Exodus provides replacements for both language and storage but each part could be very valuable to add sql storage to an existing pick language or a language to an existing pick database.

=== Language Replacement ===

Use C++'s operator overloading feature to make C++ behave almost like, if not exactly look like, pick-basic programmers expect and be usable for classic pick-basic style application programming.

=== Database Replacement ===

Use standard SQL databases (currently Postgres) transparently as a pick style storage mechanism ensuring full SORT/SELECT functionality including dictionary items (columns) that invoke routines written in the pick-basic style CC++ environment.

== Twin syntaxes ==

=== Classic Pick "Global function" style syntax ===

print(oconv(extract(xyz,1,2,3),"MD20")));

This is standard Exodus C++ syntax. Only the representation of print as function "print()" instead of a command "print x", - and the trailing ; gives it away as C++.

Pick programmers are used to this syntax and many will want to stay with this style for whatever reason.

It is a pity that C++ syntax doesnt allow the easy-to-write and easy-to-read pick-like array extract/replace like xxx<1,2,3> or x<3>="x". A great shame but not a killer.

=== Classic OO "Method Chaining" syntax ===

xyz(1,2,3).oconv("MD20").print();

or if you prefer ...

xyz.extract(1,2,3).oconv("MD20").print();

This is standard Exodus C++ code.

Variable xyz is one of Exodus' "var" objects and xyz(1,2,3) does an "extract" ... which just produces another var object which is then processed by the oconv method and then printed.

What this actually does is: From variable xyz, extract field 1, multivalue 2, subvalue 3 then oconv it, then print it.

More C++ish style is also acceptable:

cout<<xyz(1,2,3).oconv("MD20");

So a "pick variable" object (or class) Mv has all the various pick functions as methods. This means that you can use OO-like method chaining syntax. This is often the way people think in OO languages. In OO it is considered easier to understand code if you can simply read from left to right and it gives you the operations in the order that they are performed. As much as some people may not like OO method syntax, the many more people today are more comfortable with it than global function style.

== Why not just Python or PHP? ==

Both of these are great languages to start new projects and many people using Pick language will have looked at the possibilities of porting to them.

However there are many subtle differences between the languages and, if you have thousands of lines of old code you dont have time to sort out all the subtle bugs without a complete rewrite with a programmer familiar with the intricacies of both languages.

Generally the objective is to convert often hundreds of thousands of lines of pick basic fairly accurately into another language. Changing syntax is laborious - but doesnt require highly skilled programmers. However any subtle changes in semantics (how operators and functions work exactly) means that ports are unreliable which is far more costly.

This means that the syntax can be changed when porting as long as not too bad then we will all get used to the new syntax. It also means that the sematics must remain almost identical otherwise people will be hunting down bugs forever. Anybody who has looked at replacing pick will have come to the same conclusion. porting needs meticulous rewriting into the new language mentality due to nuances in how the basic principles of how variables behave.

Python and PHP operators and variables just dont BEHAVE like pick operators and variables in too many cases.

=== Unpredictable overloading ===
Most modern dynamically typed languages suffer from the catastrophically inappropriate carry over of the concept of operator overload from statically typed languages. This means that you cannot trust what operators like + and * will actually do. Pick-basic, although dynamically typed, does not suffer from this. Pick's + will always do an arithmetic plus and fail if non-numeric strings are presented to it. Pick's * will always do an arithmetic multiply and fail if non-numeric strings are presented to it.

You just cannot trust dynamically typed languages that do operator overloading based on dynamic type. Accidents waiting to happen and frequently do.

=== Example PHP problems ===

This is a very tiny list of all the problems that exist. By problem we mean difference in way of processing, not that one way is wrong or right.

==== PHP * operator ====

If you give it a variable that happens to contain a string then, instead of converting it to a number to multiply numerically, it will repeat the string n times! This is fine for php people who are used to it ... but cause chaos when converting and maintaining pick code in php.

"100"*10 in php is "100100100100100100100100100100"

of course it isnt written as "100"*10 in code .. it is written as mynumber*10 ... BUT what happens depends on what data type happens to be in mynumber during execution

==== PHP . operator (concatenation) ====

It is very astute of PHP to have a special concat operator even if it does seem almost impossible to read to pickies used to a : for concat. Most other languages dont have proper concat operator at all. But then from the point of view of Pick-basic it has the wrong precedence.

php's concat operator (the dot) has the same precedence as + and - whereas in Pick, concat has a lower precendence than the arithmetic operators. This subtle difference introduces endless opportunity for hard to track down bugs if you try to simply translate large amounts of code from pick-basic to php.

==== Lack of GOTO ====

This makes porting of some existing pick-style programs very difficult (requiring refactoring with consequent risk of bugs). C++ has the GOTO statement.

== Concat operator ==

The ability to concat variables in precisely the same way as pick does is very important if you are going to move pick applications into any other language.

eg in pick if you concat two variables that happen to be numbers - using the pick ":" operator you will still get a string out. ie concat in pick means concat. it DOESNT means add if the arguments happen to be numeric. the concat operator missing in c++ because it is strongly typed and it (and you) can tell from arguments whether it will add or concat

in exodus, "variables" are a c++ class that behaves like a pick variable very very closely so you can port pick basic without being nervous of subtle bugs due to differences in mentality of the other language designers.

== Why Postgres? ==

Open source and technically very open and easy to extend with new datatypes etc.

Postgres is widely available and well supported on all major platform. There has been very strong interest in and development of Postgres since Oracle bought up the MySQL's underlying database.

Postgres licence in BSD so can be used in anyway you like whatsoever including using bits of the source code in your own code without GPL restrictions.

There is a draft driver to use OpenQM instead of Postgres.

== Why Boost? ==

Best of breed and is the prime place that C++ standards are worked out.

== Portability ==

Written in standard C++. Currently builds with GNU gcc and MSVC 2005+

===Update the corewin_express.vsprops file.===
 One more step is needed to make the Win32 template work in Visual C++ Express. You need to edit the corewin_express.vsprops file - *NOT* the CoreWin.vsprops file (found in C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\VC\VCProjectDefaults) - and 
Change the string that reads: 
 AdditionalDependencies="kernel32.lib"
 to
 AdditionalDependencies="kernel32.lib user32.lib gdi32.lib winspool.lib comdlg32.lib advapi32.lib shell32.lib ole32.lib oleaut32.lib uuid.lib" 

===Update Paths in VS prior to VS2010 ===

#* Click the drop down menu for Show directories for: and click Library Files, now click the button that looks like a yellow folder in the field were the cursor is blinking copy and paste the path to the boost_1_34_0\lib folder you created earlier when installing the Boost libraries.

== Update Paths in VS2010 ==
''TODO:as Platform SDK is not used, clean following from unnessesary paths''

VC++ Directories are no longer supported in VS2010 through Tools->Options page. Instead, VS2010 introduces the user settings file (Microsoft.cpp.<Platform>.users.props) to control global settings including Global search path. These files are located at $(USERPROFILE)\appdata\local\microsoft\msbuild\v4.0 directory. Upon migration to VS2010, the custom settings of VC++ Directories from VS2005 or VS2008 are migrated to these user files. These global settings files are imported into all the converted and newly created projects.

#* Switch VS2010 IDE to "Expert" setting (default is "Basic" after the installation): '''Tools -> Settings -> Expert Settings'''
#* Load any project or solution
#* Open "Properties Manager" dialog: '''View -> Property Manager'''
#* Expand all branches, you should see '''Microsoft.Cpp.Win32.user''' leaves
#* Double Click "Microsoft.Cpp.Win32.user" leaf, and '''Microsoft.Cpp.Win32.user Property Page Dialog''' is opened
#* Do the following:
#** Click the value of Executable Directories, then small Down button to the right, <Edit...>, now click the button that looks like a yellow folder and in the field were the cursor is blinking copy an paste the following path, and then press Enter: C:\Program Files\Microsoft Platform SDK for Windows Server 2003 R2\Bin
#** Click the value of Include Directories, then small Down button to the right, <Edit...>, now click the button that looks like a yellow folder and in the field were the cursor is blinking copy an paste the following path, and then press Enter: C:\Program Files\Microsoft Platform SDK for Windows Server 2003 R2\Include
#** Click the value of Library Directories, then small Down button to the right, <Edit...>, now click the button that looks like a yellow folder and in the field were the cursor is blinking copy an paste the following path, and then press Enter: C:\Program Files\Microsoft Platform SDK for Windows Server 2003 R2\Lib
#** Click the value of Include Directories, then small Down button to the right, <Edit...>, now click the button that looks like a yellow folder and in the field were the cursor is blinking copy and paste the path to the boost_1_38_0 folder you created earlier when installing the Boost libraries.
#** Click the value of Include Directories, then small Down button to the right, <Edit...>, now click the button that looks like a yellow folder in the field were the cursor is blinking copy and paste the path to the boost_1_38_0\lib folder you created earlier when installing the Boost libraries.
#* Your window should look like this: [[Image:MVS2010ExpressDirs.png]]
 

All the paths updated will be saved in "C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\AppData\Local\Microsoft\MSBuild\v4.0\Microsoft.Cpp.Win32.user.props".

===Generate and build a Win32 application to test your paths.===
 In Visual C++ Express, the Win32 Windows Application type is disabled in the Win32 Application Wizard. To enable that type, you need to edit the file AppSettings.htm file located in the folder %ProgramFiles%\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\VC\VCWizards\AppWiz\Generic\Application\html\1033\".
 In a text editor comment out lines 441 - 444 by putting a // in front of them as shown here: 
 // WIN_APP.disabled = true;
 // WIN_APP_LABEL.disabled = true;
 // DLL_APP.disabled = true;
 // DLL_APP_LABEL.disabled = true; 
 Save and close the file and open Visual C++ Express. 

From the File menu, click New Project. In the New Project dialog box, expand the Visual C++ node in the Product Types tree and then click Win32. Click on the Win32 Console Application template and then give your project a name and click OK. In the Win32 Application Wizard dialog box, make sure that Windows application is selected as the Application type and the ATL is not selected. Click the Finish button to generate the project. 
Compile by pressing F5. 
Win32 application should build and run.

The following is just a scrap pad of ideas to be incorporated in documentation

== new syntax possibility ==

Some will hate this. Some will love it.

//mass declaration and mass initialisation.
var abc,xyz,qwe;
abc=xyz=qwe="";

== C++ exodus ==

#Just because you can write C in C++ doesnt mean you should! Dont include C libraries and you wont be able to.
#Just because you can write C++ in Exodus programs doesnt mean you should! Dont include C++ libraries and you wont be able to.

if you are only familiar with c then c++ has some improvements for examples like you can declare your variables at the point they are used (and not at the top of the routine like c)

unlike many modern languages c++ retains the infamous goto statement making porting from pick basic much easier. you have to avoid declaring new variables (var xyz) within the scope of the jump but this is easily accomplished by moving the declaration just above the jump zone.

better to put print(a, " ", b) than print(a ^ " " ^ b) because it is faster to do three outputs instead of two concatenations and one output

The following will compile but give throw "unassigned variable" on execution.

var foo=foo.sum();

strings must all be wrapped in " double quotes and single quoted strings are not allowed - except for single character strings. To puta double quote character within a string you must prefix them with \ to be like \".

swap, match and index have an additional argument that can contain r for regular expression and ri for case insensitive regular expression. i by itself doesnt work at the moment.

note the double backslashes in regular expression strings (until we get the R string prefix for "raw strings"

if (word.match("\\d+","ri")) ...

using the results or comparisons as 1 or 0 is not supported so "xxx+(a eq b)" wont compile.

you could put the ugly "xxx+(a eq b?1:0)" but recoding is probably better ...eg "if (a eq b) xxx+=1;"

== better than pick basic ==

there are a series of compromises in exodus design which are forced by the limitations of c++ syntax. with time you get used to these.

offset against the disadvantages are many advantages at multiple levels:

=== local subroutines have a) parameters and b) local variables ===

gosub/return style local subroutines can have parameters and their variables are private by nature. this allows monolithic programming with many subroutines in one file/compilation unit without all variables being global.

one way of looking at this is that you can now put all your associated external routines in the main program text and are not required to use separate edit/compile to get parameterisation and private variables.

another way of looking at this is that what used to be your external functions and subroutines (but are now are implemented as internal functions) now have access to the global variables of your main program without requiring setup of common variables.

=== many functions and subroutines per file ===

pick only allows one function or subroutine per file. c++ is happy with many.

in some cases, editing and compiling groups of associated subroutines and functions in a single file makes it easier to manage your source code base.

=== faster conditional expressions ===

the AND and OR operators "short circuit" ie do not evaluate the right hand side if the evaluation of the left hand side predetermines the final result. For example, in the evaluation of "aa() and bb()", if aa() returns false then bb() will never be evaluated.

=== multiple programming paradigms ===

object orientated programming - if you want. functional programming - if you want. procedural programming - if you want.

for application level programming you can follow a standard of only allowing the exodus header file to be included. not including any of the traditional c++ headers like <iostream>, <string>, <vector> etc. will prevent programmers getting out of their control. If you want to merge pick with traditional c++ programming you are free to include and header files you like. Just make sure to include the exodus.h AFTER all the other headers.

=== low level programming and interfacing with other languages ===

many operating system utilities can be programmed directly in c++ allowing you to do system programming in pick basic syntax

most languages allow interfacing at the C/C++ level so exodus can be used for this directly without depending on any interfaces.

== fieldstorer ==

fieldstorer (but not fieldstore) is an “statement-like” or “mutator” function which modifies the existing string instead of creating a new one. It can be implemented internally to be MUCH faster than xx=fieldstore(xx,”*”,2,2,”ii”) which first produces a new string and destroys the old one.

Actually I havent implemented this optimisation internally for all the mutator functions so a performance test might not reveal any difference YET. See a tiny discussion of this issue in on the OO syntax page on code.google wiki.

Pick

XX=’aa*bb*cc*dd’
XX=fieldstorer(XX,’*’,2,2,’gg’)
PRINT XX

aa*gg**dd

Exodus

var xx="aa*bb*cc*dd";
fieldstorer(xx,"*",2,2,”gg”);
printl(xx);

aa*gg**dd

== substr and splice ==

It is with great sadness that I announce the death of multivalue/pick basic's beautifully concise square bracket syntax [x,y] since it is not available with two parameters in the family of c-like languages.

There is some ugly (and possibly even poor) design in the solutions I have come up with so until the api is frozen .. now is the time for eulogies and pulpit admonishments to the next generation.

[]is replaced by the ugly sisters substr and splice and their mutator cousins substrer and splicer.

substr/substrer is generally the replacement for [] found on the right of the assign like “xx=yy[start,len]” since it extracts a section of characters

splice/splicer is generally the replacement for [] found on the left of the assign like “xx[start,len]=yy” since it replaces a section of characters

The name substr was chosen similar to many other languages c++, javascript, php, perl, basic etc

The name splice was chosen because the obvious name "replace", which is in use in some other languages to replace characters, is already a classic dynamic array function – and splice has a similar function in arrays in many languages.

SUBSTRER is a “statement like” or “mutator” function designed to replace pick xx[start,len]=’’ and perhaps a bit more.

One way of thinking about it is that it cuts off some of the beginning … or some of the ending … or some of both … FAST!

substrer with two parameters example

var xx=”abcde”;
substrer(xx,3,2);
printl(xx);

cd

substrer with one parameter example

var xx=”abcde”;
substrer(xx,3);
printl(xx);

cde

== OS level command shell ==

the bash command line shell treats various characters specially including " ' ( ) < > $ ! and others. You must escape/prefix them by \ to stop bash from messing with them.

so

list file with field = "xxx" (S)

becomes

list file with field = \"xxx\" $S$

or you can quote everything after the first word of the command. Single quotes allows all special characters to be used. Double quotes allows bash to continue to mess around with special cdoing macro expansion etc.

list 'file with field = "xxx" (S)'

list "file with field = 'xxx' (S)"

exodus allows the use {} can be used for () brackets if at the end of the command

== Space no longer means OCONV ==

in classic multivalue basic two strings separated by space mean use the second as an oconv format to convert the first

print '12345' 'D'

gives

18 OCT 2001

but in exodus, c++ quoted strings are concatenated

print("12345" "D2");

gives

12345D2

Usually the first bit is a variable

date1=12345
print date1 "D2"

but the equivalent in Exodus will not compile because Exodus doesnt understand the space

var date1=123345;
print(datex "D"); <- compilation error

You need to explicitly call oconv

var date1=123345;
print(oconv(datex,"D"));

== Massive String Text ==

Spaces between quoted strings in Exodus result in string concatenation at compile time. This is inherited from C++.

var xx="word1" "word2" "word3";

Compile-time string concatenation is useful since long text can be created on multiple lines without requiring any concatenation operator

<pre>
var xx= "line1 line1 line1 line1"
"\nline2 line2 line2 line2"
"\nline3 line3 line3 line3"
"\nline4 line4 line4 line4"
"\nline5 line5 line5 line5";
</pre>

You can only use Exodus ^ concatenation operator when either the left or the right bit is an Exodus variable (or the result of an operation on an Exodus variable)

the following will not compile because neither the left or right operand of ^ is an Exodus var

var xx="word2"^"word2"; //compilation error

the following will compile

var yy="word1";
var zz=word1^"word2";

var xx=var("word1")^"word2";
