Title: [Pxpprg] / [Pvxprg] program file header
Post by: Stéphane Devouard on January 05, 2022, 08:55:09 AM
Hi


Best wishes for 2022 to all


I cannot remember if there is any system parameter that would prevent PxBasic V10 to overwrite the [Pvxprg] header (as created by Sage PVX v9.10) with [Pxpprg]
This way I could use PxBasic's *IT editor to do some coding in the old app I have to maintain and programs would still be readable & executable by ProvideX


TIA

Stéphane,

There is no way to override the program file header in PxBasic, however more importantly you should not be using PxBasic to develop/maintain commercial applications.  It is intended for personal or educational use.

The following is an excerpt from the PxBasic license:

Quote
You may only install and use your licensed copy of PxBasic in a manner that is not primarily or otherwise intended for or directed toward commercial advantage or private monetary compensation whether direct or indirect.

The full license can be found here (https://home.pvxplus.com/pgsrvr.pvp?pg=licenses).

PxPlus does allow the override of the program header and in fact uses the legacy [Pvxprg] header to preserve compatibility with older products.
