I understand what you are saying, but you certainly can not copy and paste... That is a great benifit of using a windows based editor. Don't get me wrong, the QB editor does work, and sure you can ALT/TAB out but it is not the same. Either way, when I was using the dos based editor, I would get high...

Of course you can run QBasic under XP. Many of us are doing it right now. There is no special installation required. I compile and run my QuickBasic 4.5 programs, and also use QBasic for certain things. No problems. I've heard people say thet they've had some problems, but I don't know what they ar...

Sure it is doable... just do not use the QB.exe editor... it causes do response issues with windows environments... I use ConText editor, and just use the compiler/linker from QBasic... Go to http://www.context.cx/ and download the editor and then I uploaded the highlighter to the context website. G...

Ok, I didn't realize that YEAR$ was only two digits. Fine, so you have some filenames like 1231100 or 1231101. That's OK, as long it's a valid filename and you know how to interpret the pseudo date within. I have seen stranger stuff done to dates in an attempt to circumvent the Y2K problem. Most of...

I run Synchronet. http://ultimate.4alexanders.com I realize there are doors for this, but you know, none of those ever do what you want them to do. A lot of the fun is making the program like you want, but never having messed with Random Access files makes the task difficult. I could use a standard ...

You're right, getting yesterday's date is not a simple matter. You need to have a table or array of the number of days in each month, plus when you're dealing with February, you need to have logic to determine leap year. I've done this before, so why don't you post the code that you have for this a...

Command Line Argument/Switch
I am writing a small application where I will need to use a few command line arguments... I have not done this before and have always just used a config.cfg file for my applications. However, this time I decided rather than create yet another config file, I could use a command line argument list (ac...
