    Tablet as a display/monitor

    Have a look for IP webcam. It is wireless but there is nothing stopping you having a wireless switch to create a LAN on your boat. I've done it using old windows 8 phones in my garden.

    Recent files in TM won't show anything New

    Are you on some corporate system which wipes that entry every few months? I'm on such a system - everything gets wiped: cookies, recent file lists, last project opened etc. There is no need to but it is a department policy from n years ago.

    Word 97 Update: Macro Vulnerability

    I've only ever seen wd97mcrs in English. If you do a search, you will find some sites that have it available for download. Sometimes a language specific patch is not required. The site you are pointing to doesn't seem to have any language marking so it is possibly generic and works in all...

    Gfortran error

    What do the first two lines of mgrid_mod.F90:1:0: look like? Has this been transferred from Windows - does it have CRLF line terminators?

    software to read a canned document and convert to Word

    You need to choose wisely. Many of them translate individual paragraphs into text boxes in fixed positions. You will only know this when you start editing. If the subsequent paragraphs do not move up/down, then it is a text box translation. Those are no good for editing.

    Sending Visual Basic Output Window (Program Output) to a Form (Text Box) or File

    Example of how to do this with threads and delegates. I don't know if this has been replaced by lambdas or whether lambdas exist in the latest version of vb.net Imports System.IO Imports System.Diagnostics Imports System.Threading Public Class pantunvbinv Private Sub btnFill_Click(ByVal...

    Sending Visual Basic Output Window (Program Output) to a Form (Text Box) or File

    This is something I wrote some time ago in VS2005. It may still work on the current versions. Say you have a dll called pantun. It just prints a line of verse. First wrap it into a console application pantuncaller Imports System.Runtime.InteropServices Imports System.threading Module...

    Sending Visual Basic Output Window (Program Output) to a Form (Text Box) or File

    Are you doing this in VBA, VB6, VB.net or VBScript (from HTA)? Different people refer to all these variants as VB.

    Programming for Embedded Systems

    "Better" is a personal thing: it means different things to different people. If you are just experimenting with stuff, especially talking to hardware, it is simpler to do it in C. If it is just a computer simulation of a slot machine then C++ is fine. If you are just learning and playing with...

    Sending Visual Basic Output Window (Program Output) to a Form (Text Box) or File

    allocconsole is a Microsoft feature. Since Intel Fortran has its roots in Compaq, DEC and Microsoft, it would support MS feature If you write a fotran program that call the one function in the DLL, then use IO redirection to call that function, it will then display the output in your textbox...

    Programming for Embedded Systems

    You can build a slot machine with C - C++/Java/C# are just C with more features: more than most people can fit in their brains, and most programmers don't use 75% of the features. For embedded code, I'd stick to C: not fuss, no mess, simple and no weirdness (like mutually recursive templates or...

    forrtl: severe (24): end-of-file during read, unit 10

    Is this during compilation or when reading a file. Do you have access to the source code?

    Sending Visual Basic Output Window (Program Output) to a Form (Text Box) or File

    Do you have access to the Fortran source code - can you modify it? If you can, change the function in the DLL to return a string instead of writing to the screen. Is it just a small string or swathes of information?

    Note that MP is the parallel interface, MPI is the message passing interface, which is sometimes used for parallel processing.
