Scott, it's always troubled me that the said Page 4 uses (6*64)+(6*8)+(6), when it should be +(4) for read-only for everyone else
Hmmm... that was a mistake. I'll fix it.Why did I write it like (6*64)+(6*8)+6 in the first place, if I don't like that style of code, you might be wondering? To be honest, I didn't even remember that I had done that until this thread emerged.
My concept for the IFS e-book was to start with very simple code, and then build it up, bit-by-bit, teaching new concepts as I went along. I was very new to the world of writing/publishing at the time, and didn't really have any guidance. I thought this would be a good way to do it because it started simple, and added things gradually.
The problem with that method (as you've already witnessed) is that people take the first example in the book and use it, even though it might not be the best example.
I've learned my lesson, but I don't really want to re-write the IFS e-book, because of the time it'd take. Actually, that's not precisely true, I already did re-write it as a series of articles for iSeries NEWS, but it seems that most people still read the old one on my site rather than the newer, better written one.
Anyway, I'll stop rambling.
