Thanks Bigal will try that one...

but most of the guys here are not using pc speakers so i prefer the screen alert.

EDIT :

It's working now, thanks for Bigal's assistance but im still having this error at the end

; error: quit / exit abort

Both (exit) and (quit) commands return the "; error: quit / exit abort" message by design. Add a small error trap to hide from user if desired.

I am not that knowledgeable in lisp, can you show me an example of error trap for this?

Please see sample timebomb application that I was playing with a few years ago after seeing a few posts on the subject. It is based on an idea posted by Irne Barnard, and uses an internet date check developed by Lee Mac to beat the 'reset PC clock' problem as an alternate to what BigAl has posted.

The routine has a sample internal error handler, and includes some other subroutines for checking the date (as well as date entry).

Run 'TestTimeBomb' to demonstrate, and test using a few different dates to test against.

Thanks a lot kirby..

so i will insert my code in this line is it?

; Routine continues if not expired

Yes, add your code after the "; Routine continues if not expired" comment.

See modified version with following changes

- CheckProgramExpire has been modified to include the test date as input

- wraps the error trap 'setup' and 'cancel' into separate functions (or could build these into the 'CheckProgramExpire' routine, but this wouldn't give you the chance to add additional program-specific comments before you exit).

The updated example should make it easier to drop a generic block of code into an existing routine.

; Sample timebomb application - Verion 2
; KJM - Dec 2009, Mod Aug 2018
; Used to stop a routine from running if date has been exceeded

; Global variables

(setq ProgramContact "Contact XYZZY for renewal at xyzzy@nospam.net or xxx.xxx.xxxx")
(setq *error* nil)
(setq OldErrorTrap nil)

Noted. Thanks a lot kirby

You just need 1 line in each piece of code you want checked you would make the check a program that gets loaded every time at the start of code, it would be wise to make all code to FAS. Just load your timebomb and check. I was involved in a big software suite that had multiple modules rather than 1 big code, so easy to have check as 1st couple of lines.

(load "timebomb")
rest of your code
........

August 17, 2018

but if i give the fas file to someone else the Timebomb lisp won't load...

.. you can make AutoCAD speak? You realise I am not going to be at all popular next week.

Autoload a LISP, It says "Not another drawing", for every drawing you open

I'm going to enjoy this.

Alternate to multiple .FAS files could be a .VLX (Windows only). .VLX can include several separate program files (.lsp or .fas), resources, etc. all compiled into one .VLX file.

I typically just load separate .LSP (or .FAS) with library routines as needed, but I don't sell anything so am not worried about protection, etc. When delivering a smaller, limited scope solutions to others/customers, it's often easiest to add all your referenced functions into a single .LSP then compiling into .FAS. Then archive your source and .FAS, or use poor man's change tracking via filename (eg. MyProgram-2018-08-17.fas , MyProgramVer1.1.fas) so that you can keep track of updates.

Also note that if you want to use the example program I provided as-is, you will need to speak to Lee Mac about using his copyrighted internet time function or use something else (e.g. benhubel's 'time travelling' suggestion earlier in this thread).

The timebomb should work I dont need fas at moment but will check you can load multiple lisps into a running lisp no problems and as the time bomb check is 1st line its checked, thing is you can write code and test and just have your timebomb.lsp date set to not expire etc.

; example of calling a library dcl in any program
(if (not AH:getvals)(load "getvals.fas"))
(ah:getvals "titel 1" 5 4 "default)
; do something value returned
.... your code now

Please see sample timebomb application that I was playing with a few years ago after seeing a few posts on the subject. It is based on an idea posted by Irne Barnard, and uses an internet date check developed by Lee Mac to beat the 'reset PC clock' problem as an alternate to what BigAl has posted.

The routine has a sample internal error handler, and includes some other subroutines for checking the date (as well as date entry).

Run 'TestTimeBomb' to demonstrate, and test using a few different dates to test against.


; Sample timebomb application

; Used to stop a routine from running if date has been exceeded


(defun C:TestTimeBomb ( / *error* )

(setq OldErrorTrap *error*)

(if (wcmatch (strcase msg) "*BREAK,*CANCEL*,*EXIT*")
  (progn
  	; add final error message here
  	(princ (strcat "\n*** Error: " msg " **"))
  	(princ)
  )
)
(princ)
)


; Get a data
(setq MyTestDate (getdatestring nil nil))
(prompt "\n  Date entered = ")(princ MyTestDate)(princ)

; Add expiry data in YYYYMODD format and contact info message here
(setq MyCode (CheckProgramExpire (atoi MyTestDate) "Contact XYZZY for renewal at xyzzy@nospam.net or xxx.xxx.xxxx"))
;(prompt "\nReturned Code: ")(princ MyCode)
;(princ)

; Terminate routine if expired
(if (eq MyCode 0)
 (progn
 	(prompt "\n")
 	; add additional error messages here
 	(princ)
 	(exit)	
 )
)

; Routine continues if not expired
(prompt "\nProgram continues here...")
(princ)

; Remove special error trap, restore original
(setq *error* OldErrorTrap)

)
(prompt "\nTestTimeBomb - test time bomb routine to stop program execution.")(princ)

Hello,

I have tested your code and the timebomb works, although I tried to add a code, and after calling test1, it displays "enter something" and it doesnt recognize the code command

Edit 1: i have found a solution on my own way!!,

interesting code. is it easy to crack?

It's a nice code for joking. I tested it but I have to wait too much time in order to listen to the voice.
