Besides, how could the Enigma encrypt ? It doesn't work when you have the whole 256-character ASCII alphabet.
Code: Select all
CHR$(200)

Depends on what you define as effective. I mean it gets the job done, and if your entire goal is protect some.. less than sensitive data, then sure, it's effective. As a simple and somewhat not accurate example, say you got the string: 11111111111111111111111111 And you encrypt it with the password...

So, the following wouldn't be an effective encryption method? SUB PatzCrypt (InFile$, OutFile$, Password$) FirstHandle = FREEFILE OPEN InFile$ FOR BINARY ACCESS READ AS #First Handle SecondHandle = FREEFILE OPEN OutFile$ FOR BINARY ACCESS WRITE AS #SecondHandle DO Crypt$ = INPUT$(4096, #FirstHandle)...

Encryption and XOR
How come in all of the encryption programs I see written in QuickBASIC, none of them include XOR? It seems like an easy and effective way to encrypt a file. Example: (pseudo-code) Code% = 145 'Just an example. DIM GetVar AS STRING * 1 OPEN FILE1$ FOR BINARY ACCESS READ AS #1 OPEN FILE2$ FOR BINARY A...

Re: Why I can use linux on my laptop.
My laptop has a 600mhz processor with 256 ram and a 512mb swap partition.

Re: HELP! calculating student's average
WHILE 90 < average <= 100 This is really strange syntax to me, and I've been programming Basic for over 30 years. I compiled your code and got no error, but I don't understand what this statement means. Hmm... It doesn't seem like this would work. Usually comparisons like this will require an AND s...

New site for Patz BASIC!
OK, it's not really a site, but it's temporary before I buy my own domain. I will post small functions as blogs and give links to download the larger files, but it will be up to date.

Screen 0 Dumper - More code!
This is a screen dump routine for screen 0. It might work for other screen modes, but I haven't tried. It copies every letter, foreground, and background displayed on the screen. File sizes vary on screen width and height (duh.) To dump the screen into a file: ON ERROR RESUME NEXT DIM Temp AS STRING...

Hans Reiser arrested.
Hans Reiser, who made the ReiserFS, was arrested for circumstantial evidence against killing his wife. What really gets me is the fact that SUSE is moving away from the ReiserFS because of this.

Re: output to word
Code is usually helpful.
Like lurah said, it probably just needs a couple OPEN, PRINT #, and CLOSE statements somewhere...
