I will not be answering VB questions then....

If you are not using extended ascii characters, the easiest way is to print to a file then call notepad to print. No driver hacking required...

Just do a batch file that runs the program that changes the environment, then the program that requires the new environment in the same DOS window.
If you close the window the changes will be lost, and they won't affect to a different DOS window.

...and you have loaded the GRAPHICS driver at DOS start and have a printer compatible with the very old dot-matrix IBM Proprinter.....

PrintScreen by itself printed only text screens in DOS!

>Are all elements of an array stored in consecutive memory like in C? Yes, they are >Also if they are given storage ahead of time and you declare an array without a type how does it know how much space to give without knowing the type? Arrays in QB always have a type, if you omit it the default type...

External means that the arrays ara too big to fit in memory. The fastest wins.

A lot of people has been telling it to you in previous posts: FB is great.
Your resistance is futile...we're everywhere!

FreeBASIC!

IIRC the directQB builder was very picky about those long folder names Windows shortens like myfold~1.
Be sure the folder where you are building DQB and the path to QB do not have any ~ sign on them when used from DOS.

If this don works you can print to a file then shell to notepad with /p option This should work with any printer that works in Windows.

For qbasic: 'set 31 bits dblword&=(loword% and &hffff&) or ((hiword% and &h7fff&)*&h10000&) 'set the sign bit if needed if hiword% and &h8000 then dblword&= dblword& or &h80000000 Another way (slower but cleaner) dblword&=cvl(mki$(loword%)+mki$(hiword%...

True events trigger a hardware signal (interrupt) that takes the control of the program to a sobroutine that services them, then the program resumes where it got stopped. The program does not have to worry about if an event occurs, and it's not slowed down if there are not events, as the hardware po...

There are several QB programs that run as a frontend to DOS's DEBUG, you can input assembler code to them, they output a chunk of QB code including a loader and the required CALL ABSOLUTE Check the site of Glenn Stumpf (the Glenn of QB45.com), i think one of the guys of Enhanced Creations (Peter ?Ho...

Try SuperPut by Rel and Plasma http://www.phatcode.net/downloads.php?id=166 It rotates sprites, clips them safely and does transparencies without a mask. All QB's PUT shortcomings solved. It's a pair of subs you add to your code, you call them at the start of the program, then you keep using QB's PU...

i was woundering if there is any way that compines qbasic with c# so that i can take values from qbasic run and use it in a c# program? please describe to me "in code example" how to send output values to fill an excell sheet.,and how to send out puts to a notepad? You can't use qb to con...

Btw: A texmode demos place http://taat.fi/tmdc/

In a true Text Mode (SCREEN0) you can't have pixel graphics as textmodes does'nt allow adressing individual pixels at all. So you need to build graphics from the available characters. There are editors for them, check for the newest as Rattrapmax's, as the older ones encode its output for an ANSI te...

Chipmunk Basic is not a compiler AFAIK..

v1c is converting FreeBasic into a frontend to gcc, When it's finishedm the port to system X will be easy. Can you wait?
