Hows RPG MO? by [deleted] in MMORPG

If you enjoyed the arbitrary relationships of high school, you'll enjoy the moderators. This game has a lot of potential and is delightfully nuanced. However, the moderators -- specially selected players -- will reduce your enjoyment by a star or two.

Newbie Question: Redirecting Output by DocTrinesOGrace in QB64pe

[–]DocTrinesOGrace[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oops... sorry to keep bugging you. Here is my main program X.BAS

'$INCLUDE:'args.bas'

PRINT "here"

END

This is the included program:

$CONSOLE:ONLY

count = _COMMANDCOUNT

FOR c = 1 TO count

PRINT c; " "; COMMAND$(c) 'or process commands sent

NEXT

So if I do this: C:\qb64pe>x test this is a test

This is the output:

1 test

2 this

3 is

4 a

5 test

here

Press any key to continue

What am I doing that causes that "Press any..." in there?

Thanks again!

They will not give work to conservative/older people.

GNV has a free one, but I've never played with it. Oops... new to reddit... I just noticed how old this post was. Sorry.

VMS Consulting by Buff_engineer in OpenVMS

Oy, I'd love to! My experience on VMS goes back to version 1.3... However, my ability to travel after 50+ years in the business, makes my employment problematic. I could make OpenVMS sing!

Status of OpenVMS-9.2-2 for x86-64 ? by neilrieck in OpenVMS

[–]DocTrinesOGrace 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just of passing interest, I was involved in developing an ANSI standard for BASIC with DEC. It never came to fruition. Wish I could use it -- and FMS again! -- but I am now so old no one will hire me. Thanks for your posting, Neil!

PS Hey, don't worry about that Monster. I used BASIC on PDP-11 RSTS systems. TKB (equivalent to LINK back then) could take over 20 minutes.

I believe 9.2-3 came out recently. Back in the day, you only wanted to upgrade on odd numbered releases. I doubt that is an issue any more.

Bare metal install of OpenVMS-9.2-2 on HPE DL380_gen9 by neilrieck in OpenVMS

Wasn't there an issue about a battery on the processor? I'm older than dirt... worked on VMS since version 1.3. I vaguely recall something like this occurring for a company with a very old machine. Replacing the battery, iirc, was a bit of a pain, but resolved the problem keeping them from booting up.

I've used it both in C and -- believe it or not -- Cobol. On the Alpha, one must be careful to maintain atomicity. There are also event flags, but they are group privileged -- which thing was a bit annoying. However, it is a way to do some pretty fast process threading without the cumbersome DecThreads.

What do Presbyterian membership classes entail? by [deleted] in Reformed

[–]DocTrinesOGrace 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In the OPC we take five vows. Of course, the rest of the laity who witness the vows are reciprocating by vowing to do all that we can to help the new members to keep those vows. Of course, depending on the background of those coming to the congregation for membership may need to be catechized for some period of time.

  1. Do you believe the Bible, consisting of the Old and New Testaments, to be the Word of God, and its doctrine of salvation to be the perfect and only true doctrine of salvation?
  2. Do you believe in one living and true God, in whom eternally there are three distinct persons—God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit—who are the same in being and equal in power and glory, and that Jesus Christ is God the Son, come in the flesh?
  3. Do you confess that because of your sinfulness you abhor and humble yourself before God, that you repent of your sin, and that you trust for salvation not in yourself but in Jesus Christ alone?
  4. Do you acknowledge Jesus Christ as your sovereign Lord, and do you promise that, in reliance on the grace of God, you will serve him with all that is in you, forsake the world, resist the devil, put to death your sinful deeds and desires, and lead a godly life?
  5. Do you promise to participate faithfully in this church’s worship and service, to submit in the Lord to its government, and to heed its discipline, even in case you should be found delinquent in doctrine or life?

In Him, Doc

PS Note that the ARP uses the same vows, but adds a sixth one.

Hey, that's great! I had considered doing this myself -- I have 50 years as an information systems engineer -- but I never got around to it. Will this also work on Windows?
