The Online Module Library


Back in the "good old days", our original philosophy was that any new task/function modules would be distributed as pre-compiled "object" modules (file type: ".OBJ") which could then be placed into a standard library. But with the growing concern over computer viruses, spyware, etc., all of our new modules are now being distributed as "open source" modules. This way they can be used either in the traditional command-line mode (by compiling them yourself) or in the newer "Drag & Drop" mode (by using the "Append" compiler directive).

To "download" any one of the task/function modules from the Online Module Library, just copy that module's entire listing into a text file and then place that file into one of your own library folders. [If you choose to rename the file, don't forget to keep the length of the name down to eight characters or less.]

For example, suppose you are working in "Drag & Drop" mode and you want to use the library's "teddy.txt" module to draw two Teddy Bears side by side in a window. You would first "download" the "teddy.txt" module (by clicking the library's "teddy.txt" link and copying the entire listing into one of your Append libraries). Then you would create your program that invokes the module's "bear_rjb" task:

Source Listing

In this example, we chose to put the "teddy.txt" module into our Local library. (If we had chosen to use the Global library instead, all we would have had to do to our listing would be to change the "L:" term in the Append compiler directive to "G:")

And that's how easy it is to incorporate modules from the Online Library into your programs!
