Templates Wanted!

To minimize advertising, I'll just refer you to https://sourceforge.net/projects/tmpcreat/files/ . Now, I'm looking for templates of BASIC code or related files. If you have any, please e-mail them to me at rose.joseph12@yahoo.com. and start the header with "Template" so I know what it is.

Re: Interfacing ANSI C with QB45/VBDOS?

Yes, but I'm using VBDOS here, and I want the option to be available on QB45 as well.

Interfacing ANSI C with QB45/VBDOS?

How do I interface ANSI C functions to a QB45 or VBDOS program? For example, what object code format do I use? How do I build the libraries? How do I declare the functions? I'd appreciate any help.
