[Info-vax] Basic & Global sections

[Neil Rieck]

Poor Man's MySQL Connector:

A while back, I needed to write some code that would allow DEC-BASIC to interface with mysql client libraries written in C. If you think about it, whenever you send off an SQL query all you know is that the result (if there is one) will be an array of strings. So I needed to be able to pass an array of strings back to BASIC. Those ideas began with a series of hybrid demos:

Which culminated in these:
