HTBasic Runtime Version

The HTBasic Application Runtime Version is a low-cost, multi-copy license to create stand-alone Rocky Mountain BASIC applications. Runtime programs are executable, but cannot be edited making it the perfect solution for distributing proprietary BASIC programs or for protecting your programs from accidental changes in a production environment.

The Application Runtime versions differ from the Development versions in the following areas:

1. The program development statements, the error message text strings, and the predefined softkey macros have been removed.

2. The Application Runtime License does not include the right to use the HP LIF diskette transfer utilities HPCAT, HPCOPY, or HPPURGE.

3. The following program development statements have been removed:

CAT (PROG files)

GET

SAVE

TRACE

CHANGE

HELP

RE-SAVE

XREF

COPYLINES

INDENT

SECURE

EDIT

LIST

STORE

FIND

MOVELINES

RE-STORE

 

Execution of any of these statements in your program will result in an error and control will be returned to the HTBasic command line.

4. Upon the detection of an untrapped error, control returns to the HTBasic command line. The error number, but not the error message text string, is displayed on the error message line.

5. All predefined softkey macros have been removed. The program must define any softkey macros that it wants to use with the SET KEY statement.
