LB Booster forum

(copied from the old forum) Cabinet Planner, by Robert McAllister, is probably the largest Liberty BASIC program ever written, and without doubt the largest program ever to have been compiled using 'LB Booster'! It consists of three modules totalling more than 100,000 lines of LB code, with the larg...

Thank you Richard. I was looking for "Recent posts" button for a while. The '10 most recent posts' feature at Conforums was never reliable. Sometimes posts would not appear there at all, and if activity was high posts could get pushed off that list before you ever saw them. I prefer the '...

I think that would be a bad precedent to set, especially so early in the life of the forum. It would probably halve the total number of posts!

The new forum has lots of nice features, but they aren't always obvious. One that you might have missed is the 'Quick links' button in the top-left corner under the LBB logo. One of those links is to 'Unread posts' so you can quickly find topics that have been updated since your last visit, without ...

Various comments continue to be made at the Liberty BASIC Forum (some reasonable, some indefensible). As I have stated elsewhere, the Copyright issue is a tricky one. If one adopts a very strict and precise interpretation of Copyright law, it would not be possible to make the content of the old foru...

The Liberty BASIC folks seem to be debating this same issue, but the scale of the problem must be even greater for them (the old LBB forum was something over 6000 equivalent pages, theirs must be much bigger) Apparently there are in the region of 100,000 posts at the old LB forum, which seems quite...

As you know, I decided to make the old forums (LBB and BBC BASIC) available in their entirety, by taking and archiving a complete snapshot. This admittedly means that as well as the gems of useful information contained there, a large amount of dross, including inaccurate and misleading posts, has co...

Thanks for keeping things up and running. I'm keeping my fingers well and truly crossed that choosing to host the forum (and the wiki) on a 'private', albeit shared, server doesn't prove to be a mistake. Being permanently free of advertising - and not having to go cap-in-hand to members for donatio...

I agree, but 'bundled' is as good as 'free'. I pay nothing for the web space provided by my ISP, because it's part of my broadband package and there isn't an option of not having it.

I've received a query by email about calculating hyperbolic trig functions (e.g. sinh, cosh, tanh). They are easily implemented as user-defined functions as follows: function sinh(x) sinh = (exp(x) - exp(-x)) / 2 end function function cosh(x) cosh = (exp(x) + exp(-x)) / 2 end function function tanh(...
