Hi
I'm trying to learn Blackbox, and it is definitely an acquired taste.
(Though I'm hopeful when it's acquired, it'll taste good.)
Just a couple of simple things:
- I'm trying to utilize the command-oriented nature of the Oberon-like
environment. So, when I type
"StdLog.String('Hello, world!')"
in the log area, select it, and Dev>Execute it, it works fine and prints
the text in the log area. However, when I type
"Math.Sin(12)"
-or-
"StdLog.Real(Math.Sin(12))"
I start getting pointless errors. What am I doing wrong?
- I like the do***ent-centric philosophy. However, I'm not able to fully
utilize it. Is it possible to link to a TeX package, place some TeX code
in a do***ent with Oberon code sprinkled in between, and then compile the
sources (TeX for say a DVI file, Oberon for an executable)?
- What exactly does the Tools>Insert Clock thingie do? Does it have any
relation with the "timing" feature -- which seems to always print 0
whenever I try to time a code (which is probably true since Oberon looks
super-efficient, but you see, I want more detail. Instead of "0", a
"0:00:125" would be more informative).
Thanks
