Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me.

Hi Glenn

I have made changes to PicLog2.0 as you suggested on a previous mail.
I used JustBasic and it works beautifully. When I compile it I can run the program out of justBasic, but I can not seem to make an .exe file. I can not run my version on its own. I may be doing something silly.
Any suggestions, maybe with JustBasic setup or something.

Thanks

Regards

Johann

Hi Johann

Just Basic uses a token file, as well as a exe file. In JustBasic, under the Run menu, you have the option Make *.TKN file. Create the TKN file as "PicLog.tkn". Then, run the "PicLog.exe" file to run your new updated version of PicLog.

The way JustBasic works is like this. Say you create a new program called "MyProg", and want to run it without using JustBasic. First, make a copy the JustBasic file "JBrun101.exe" and call it "MyProg.exe". Then, in JustBasic, save your new program as a token file called "MyProg.TKN", in the same directory as the "MyProg.exe".

The "MyProg.exe" is what we call a "run time" file. When you run it, it will look for a TKN file with the same file name as itself, so "MyProg.exe" will look for "MyProg.tkn". Its the TKN file that contains your program.

Have a go and let us know.
