Re: A bug in QB? Or is this a feature?
Here's an interesting bug I've found messing with my old QuickBASIC programs. ..... Then run it in any ORIGINAL DOS QuickBASIC (QBasic/QB4.5/PDS/VBDOS) and be shocked with its "correct" answer (10 10 10 2 :shock:) Interesting thing: I tried it in QB45, and indeed it happens like you described. Then...

Re: A bug in QB? Or is this a feature?
Wow! It's the first time in about 10 years that I see something new about QB, on this forum.

Well, is this the end?
Ten years ago this site celebrated the fact that it was ten years old. Now, that announcement is still the most recent one: in the last ten years, nothing new has been done. So, I'd say that petesqbsite could be considered officially abandoned, and just an historical archive.

We could use an update in participation around here! All I do anymore is control spammers. This forum has become a satellite of QB64 forum. Is there anybody, here, who still use qbasic? Or everybody uses qb64? Because, for qb64 users, there is no point in using this forum. Also, the site is almost ...

If you use freebasic, you could code a real operating system:

You complain about a file of 150 kilobytes ? Nowadays there are hard drives with a storage of 1-2 Terabytes , and files of 1-2 Gigabytes can be downloaded in half an hour, and you care to spare 20 kb? Well, the compiled file is so huge because it include also some runtime libraries (i.e. all the stu...

QBASIC is for 16 bit x86 processors, smartphones use 32 bit arm processor. And qb cannot be recompiled for smartphones because nobody here has the source code (only microsoft has it); there is a pseudo-source code of qbasic, but it's in assembly so it's still processor-specific. QB64 can, in theory,...

QB legacy
QB64 is considered the heir of qbasic. But there were other offrings: the most know is FreeBasic, but do you remember XBasic? Xbasic, like QB64 and FreeBasic, has been originally written in QB, then it became self-hosting; and, from it, originated XBlite. And who recall less fortunate compilers writ...

Once upon a time... QBasic
I was looking some old qb e-zines (my favourite was QBCM), and a thought came in my mind: in year 2000, there was a lot of speculations and previsions about the future of basic. Somebody said qbasic was dying, and somebody proposed solutions. There was no dosbox, no qb64, no freebasic... there was o...

Have you tried booting your machine in DOS mode? You should be able to do that using mouse only, from windows. If your keyboard works in dos, it's a setup/driver problem, otherwise, it could be an hardware problem. If it's an hardware problem, you can determine if it depends on computer or on keyboa...

1) A program compiled with qb contains not only your code, but also runtime code (i.e.: the PLAY command provides a true mini-language, it needs a sort of "interpreter", and it will be included in the .exe file, consuming memory) 2) use COMMAND$ variable: in your example: myprogram.exe /h COMMAND$ w...

I haven't tested your program, but I believe the error is in section: FOR i% = 2 TO 28 Align 13, i%, "El Cielo es Caiendo!" Align 13, i% - 1, SPACE$(19) ... In fact, Align should print "El Cielo es Caiendo" at row I%, using color 13. And, in your loop, I% goes from 2 to 28; the problem is.... there ...
