should donate Turbo Pascal 7 into Microsoft Windows instead; Pedt
could contribute crt.zip!
The following batch file will appropriately increment Environment
Variable X, writing it with five digits; uses longcalc.exe uploaded
late yesterday. Just space(s) between dup and (00000), no newline
( but "longcalc (script.fil) SCR" accepts multi-line scripts ); read it
as RPN, (...) are strings :
C:\HOMEPAGE\PROGRAMS>type env_incx.bat
longcalc (X) gnv val inc cof str 2 9 sbs dup
(00000) swp len inc 9 sbs swp cat dup wrt (X) pnv
A possible message "Out of memory, cannot set the environment variable"
presumably from SetEnvSH, can be ignored (* it would be nicer if it
started with a space, or was " * Out ..."; or if it returned Status *);
at present, "pnv", which invokes TS's SetEnv*, is only available in
longcalc compiled with TP7/BP7 in MSDOS mode (not DPMI, Delphi, TMT).
A Pascal program written specifically to do the environment increment
should be over an order of magnitude smaller in EXE, and two orders in
PAS, but it would omit other facilities such as the date of Easter, the
Ninth Fermat Number, and Pi to base 13. One should be able to script
longcalc to generate ISO-8601 Week Number, as was recently needed ...
yes, I think I've done it.
