 =====Converting programs from RISC OS to Windows===== =====Converting programs from RISC OS to Windows=====
  
-//by Richard Russell, October 2009//\\ \\  The conversion of **WIMP-based** BBC BASIC programs (i.e. programs having a Graphical User Interface) from **RISC OS** to **Windows** is a very broad subject, and it would be virtually impossible to provide a comprehensive guide. Therefore this article takes the form of a Case Study, dealing specifically with the conversion of one program: **BasCalc**. BasCalc is a relatively simple application, but it is hoped that the techniques used in its conversion to Windows may be applicable to other programs.\\ \\  Sections of the program that require alteration will be listed in their 'before' and 'after' forms, with an explanation of the changes. Line numbers will be retained, partly because the original version had them and partly for the convenience of being able to refer to the program by that means. However they are not required in the final (Windows) version and may be removed using the Renumber utility if desired.\\ \\  Unfortunately this Wiki doesn't provide a means to annotate the **RISC OS** and **Windows** code differently (for example using different colours). Therefore you may find it more satisfactory to compare the two versions using a utility like [[http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=49AE8576-9BB9-4126-9761-BA8011FABF38&displaylang=en|WinDiff]], which highlights the differences. To enable you to do that the two programs are available for download as plain-text files as follows: [[http://www.rtr.myzen.co.uk/BASCalc_RISCOS.bas|BASCalc_RISCOS.bas]] and [[http://www.rtr.myzen.co.uk/BASCalc_Windows.bas|BASCalc_Windows.bas]]\\ \\  Firstly here are some screenshots of the RISC OS and Windows versions for comparison:\\ \\ {{bascalc1.png}}{{bascalc4.png}}\\ {{bascalc2.png}}{{bascalc5.png}}\\ \\  Now for the conversion.
