After creating Template Creator for DOS , I thought that, by separating the template database into multiple files, one each for all the templates of a file type, I could cut down the size in memory of the file type database. Try that: separate data into smaller pieces and load them from files, one a...

SGOS is not written in BASIC but mostly written in assembler and perhaps in C/C++. BTW, I just checked the DexOS site. It looks better than my plans. Worse yet, SGOS is 16-bit--even though for a 386 using V86 mode. Maybe I'll download DexOS when I get a chance. Of course, SGOS can use sfx. Some pla...

SGOS Worth it?
SGOS is short for Simple Game Operating System . It is an OS for the PC designed for games. It is DOS-like but has many enhancements over DOS. It has a memory-banking system like EMS but can do it in any program's address space. It will have drivers for EGA, VGA, Mode-X, SVGA, Sound Blaster, joysti...

Try one of two things: 1. If you're using PUT with the XOR method to paste an image to the screen, write the image to the screen once. When you need to move it, write again in the original position, then write to the new position. 2. If you are using the PSET method or ANDing a mask to the screen th...

burger2227, you're right. I am[/] As to the template format, the format is the same as the original file. All TmpCreat does is copy it under a new name. I am looking for anything that somebody is likely to use. I have a few ideas written down, but I can't type them in now. For the purpose of this fo...

This gives me ideas. Of course, ASCII text with color is good enough. I mean I used it with Template Creator for DOS to advertize works-in-progress. I could use a VGA16 graphics screen with a lot of work, but I want to do text. Are there any programs to edit and display text screens in QB4.5/VBDOS? ...

Floppies Banned from Program issue
Don't mind me or this post; I'm just complaining. :) During the weekdays, I go to a special program. This program has computers for internet use. However, floppies have been banned from the program. This is partially my fault, for I broke one of the computers when I tried to install something on the...

Text Screen in QB4.5/VBDOS?
Namely, how do I create one? I know I can use the COLOR command to set the text color and PRINT to display the text. However, I see a lot of old DOS Shareware games which display an ad screen at exit. PRINT and COLOR aren't enough to create such a screen. How do I write such a screen, and how do I d...
