DateConvert2 simple subroutines to convert from iziBasic's European date format (YYYYMMDD) to American date format (MMDDYYYY). Public domain, by Dave O'Brien


A Faster doeventsPublic Domain submitted by JoeV
On my palm, IziBasic’s doevents statement takes about 12 ticks (120ms) to execute, whether an event occurs or not. I had an application that needed to run 100 ms loops while still being able to trap gui events. The solution was to write a PP applet. You can download the source code below.
This applet detects pendown events only, but executes in <<1 tick. It could easily be modified to trap other events as well. It returns the pen x and y positions if a pendown occurred, or a null string if not. You can also pass parameters to it which specify the screen location to check. It will return a null string unless the pendown in within the x,y,w,h bounds. Object, such as buttons, may then be created by using images and then the event detected by the applet. The disadvantage, of course, is that your program must manage the object location. However, if speed is needed, this is a small price to pay. By setting the parms equal to the screen size, the applet will execute as a very fast pendown detector.

Hex To Integer ConversionPublic Domain submitted by JoeV
I use my Palm as an interface to embedded microprocessors. It is much easier for micros to transmit numeric data in base 16 rather than base 10. IziBasic has a HEX$ statement that will convert a number to asciii hex but it no statement to decode an ascii hex string. The subroutine below does just that.
