Peter,
If you have MPEX from VESOFT then I suggest you read PROGMPE, PROGXL,
QA1 and QA2 in the EBOOK.VECSL group. There are quite a few examples of
SPL code there along with some very handy DEFINES that make generating
output a lot easier. Keep a lookout for SAY, TO'TERMINAL, CONCAT,
NO'CR'LF, ASCII'OF, DASCII'OF and FREE.
If you don't have MPEX then go to
www.gainsborough.com/software_documentation.htm and read 'Winning at
MPE', 'Sporadic dialogues #1' and 'Sporadic dialogues #2'.

Subject: Re: [HP3000-L] SPL Hello World! program
Thanks for the various replies. I now have the ultimate Hello World
program with the obvious bug in the first one where I didn't have the
text right!
(Using cut & paste from example code) Doh.
$CONTROL USLINIT
BEGIN
INTRINSIC PRINT;
BYTE ARRAY OUT(0:12);
PRINT(OUT, -MOVE OUT:="Hello World!", 0); END.
I don't get the warning on the PRINT now.
I don't understand why it expects a word array when the documentation -
http://docs.hp.com/en/32650-90821/ch04s177.html
says it's a "character array". Isn't that a byte array?
Cheers
Peter
