Topic : The GFA-BASIC Toolkit - Volume 1 Author : John L. Hutchinson Version : GFA_TKV1.HYP v0.50 (7/14/2008) Subject : GFABASIC/Documentation Nodes : 164 Index Size : 3048 HCP-Version : 5 Compiled on : Atari @charset : atarist @lang : @default : Default @help : Help @options : +g -i -s +z @width : 75 @hostname : THING @hostname : STRNGSRV @hostname : HIGHWIRE @hostname : CAB GOSUB command or "@" symbol was required to designate a procedure call. Toolkit routines use the new format and call procedures by name only. Functions are called by preceding the function name with "FN" (3.07 and above users may substitute the "@" symbol for "FN", if desired). Comments (REMarks) We've heavily commented the Toolkit routines, to make them easier to read and understand. Feel free to remove any or all comments, by deleting any line that begins with an apostrophe ('). You may also delete Internal comments (text that follows a lone exclamation point) as desired. If you intend to compile your program, you should remember that comments are ignored by the GFA BASIC compiler and thus do not add additional program overhead. We encourage you to comment your programs freely. » Routine Descriptions Each of the Toolkit routines are described in the following format: ROUTINE NUMBER: the number in the upper-left hand corner of the page specifies the Toolkit number assigned to each routine. COMPATIBILITY: the number in the upper-right hand corner of a page specifies the routine's compatibility (as currently written) with earlier versions of GFA BASIC. BRIEF: very briefly explains what function the routine performs. FILE: the filename of the routine as stored on the Toolkit diskette. CALL: describes how to call the routine from within your GFA BASIC program.
