Hello,
I have found it hard to center text on the screen and made a little
procedure that will do it for you. Some of you may have already done this,
but for those who haven't here it is:
-----------------------
procedure print_centered( sequence s)
for x=1 to ((80-length(s))/2) do -- works in default text mode only
puts(1," ") -- but you can tweak it to work in other
end for -- modes, can't you? (just change the 80)
puts(1,s)
end procedure
print_centered("Cyrbgod at hotmail.com\n")
print_centered("Vicas Patel\n")
print_centered("Now THIS is centered Text!!!")
--------------------

another solution to this problem could be.
puts(1,repeat(32,floor((80-length(s))/2))&s)

Hello all!
Can someone please offer a tip or two on communicating to/from the comm
ports?
I've tried Jacques' PORTS.E' but keep getting a type error.
I want to send/receive strings of text in a BBS door environment.
How should the 'file' be opened?
Any existing code for this type of I/O?
Thanks,
