    Help As PDF File

    Hello,

    I am currently copy and pasting some of the help content from the thinBasic help system to a Word File. But this is getting time consuming. And I am only at the #include help pages.

    However, I was wondering if there is a way to unravel the thinBasic help files into an ASCII text form (without the "hieroglyphic" characters) so that I could then convert the whole file to a MS-Word and then a PDF file?

    Thanks Again Eros

    Thanks again.

    I finally got finished with the libraries to control measurement equipment with HPIB and with Thinbasic as the front end.

    I used file based messaging (FBM) to communicate b/w the thinbasic script and the compiled Visual C++ executable that has the HPIB bus software drivers. The thing works great and the basic language is very similar to the old Rocky Mountain Basic examples that are in many old HP/Agilent equipment manuals and also newer internal instrument basic languages that Agilent equipment uses.

    Once I finish writing up this FBM scheme to control HPIB bus equipment, I will share with the thinbasic community.

    Thanks again!

    Thanks to you for using thinBasic.
    For us having programmers using thinBasic in real life situations is an invaluable present.
