What is your worst program?
Looking now at my first experiments with QB (that I've written years ago), I see many errors, bad practices and spaghetti code. I'm sure that I'm not the only one: many of us have realized horrible, bad coded programs that actually work well, and only later we've understood how to code properly. So,...

Interesting...
A nice feature would be to write multi-tasking apps (maybe with cooperative multitasking).
I was thinking about that: http://www.network54.com/Forum/648955/t ... nterpreted

Redefining characters for TUI
Do you remember Norton Utilities for DOS? The Text User Interface (TUI) was made with special characters, to get radio buttons, options, and much more. I tried to do something similar in QBasic, but I abandoned it: anyway, the font is nearly complete, and I hope that some of you would be interested ...

I am a bit confused: you said that the letter is fake, I googled for it, but I haven't found any reference about that. I find another copy of that letter here: http://www.techreplies.com/software-applications-53/back-basic-601456/ How do you know that the letter is fake? Do you know about an officia...

I was thinking about a sort of cooperative multitasking in qb (in a way similar to Seal, but made in QB). To load multitasking programs, I'd need dynamic linking, and also pointers and callbacks. Has anyone ever tried something similar? I know about Gimi, and others multitasking systems in QB using ...

Dynamic linking in QBasic?
Is there a way to dynamically link a library in QBasic, like it has been done in Seal? The idea is: main program: call LibEntryPoint Library 1: SUB LibEntryPoint PRINT "this is library 1" Library 2: SUB LibEntryPoint PRINT "this is library 2" And, at runtime, I wish to be able to...

Thanks anyway; in the meantime, I've found:
BASM 286, on http://www.bcxgurus.com/ (bottom of the page)
newbasic http://www.exmortis.narod.ru/comp_src/newbasic.zip
Any opinion about them?
Thank

need a free compiler for 16-bit
QBasic is great, but it isn't free software; I'd like to write a program in basic, and compile it for 16-bit, too, under GPL: is there a good basic compiler, compatible with QB, but open source, for 16 bit (so, not freebasic or QB64)?
thanks
thanks

You can sort an array, or only part of it.

Your program does not sort data, it only stores data in cells with the same number. It also wastes memory, leaving a lot of unused cells. If you have to sort words of five letters, you'd need 26*26*26*26*26=11881376 cells! And you would never fill them all. To sort data, you could use a bubble sort ...

No, no disks at school. I can't use my mother's e-mail account: it locked up one of the computers. It isn't exactly school, though, but I don't want to discuss the details, though. Can you use USB ports? Almost all computers buit after 1998 have one (or you have an older computer? I sometimes use o...
