Ticket #231 (Fixed)Sat Jan 23 23:05:42 UTC 2010

Alarm: Spurious "`C" in help tokens

Reported by: David Thomas (43) Severity: Normal
Part: RISC OS: Application Release:
Milestone: Status Fixed

Details by David Thomas (43):

Alarm’s “Set clock” window has some slightly mangled interactive help text. e.g. The year icon’s help text says “This is the `Creplacement year for the computer’s clock.”

Changelog:

This is in the 5.16 ROM release.

If you look near the start of the messages file you will see a number of tokens that all begin with “`” these are all to save space and are automatically translated when a message string is parsed.

“`C = currently selected”

I downloaded the disc based version of Alarm 2.79 and ran the development version 2.80: On my RO4 machine they produce the expected help string “This is the currently selected replacement year for the computer’s clock.”

Within Alarm is the line P%=INSTR, perhaps the “`” becomes corrupted in building the ROM version.

Wonderful I can’t include the line cos this dumb website software changes it into an underine word command!
