I think you're doing a great job with QBE. There are those of us who sincerely appreciate all your efforts and contributions to the editing of the magazine, and we are not concerned with a few days or weeks delay.

"Good things come to those who wait".

I completely agree with moneo

FutureLib uses VESA, like ALL other QBASIC highresolution libraries. VESA is NO LONGER SUPPORTED by many video card drivers and vendors. Especially not by Microsoft.

FB is faster thn PB. :*)

I've used Borland products, Turbo BASIC and Turbo Pascal back in the day. I know their caliber.

OBviously your age is getting the better of you. Please be quiet when the young people are talking grandpa.

Also, the name of the site dosent infkluence good search engines that much. But it *does* influence your standings to an extent. But more importantly, it influences whether or not somebody (humans) CLICK the link to your site. So how come Pete's QBASIC site shows up when I do a search for FieldView...

Also, the name of the site dosent infkluence good search engines that much. Are you kidding? Having a keyword in the title of your site makes all the difference in the world. So how come Pete's QBASIC site shows up when I do a search for FieldView? (Just an example) Like I said, a good search engin...

"Petes QBASIC and FreeBASIC site"
"Petes QBASIC/FreeBASIC site"

Both feel too long..

"Pete's BASIC site" is nice and short..

Pete's *BASIC Site!

Z!re, before I comment I want to make it clear that I am NOT taking issue with your admin decisions. Dont worry, you can take up issues with my moding any time :P I usually don't provide specific code to people looking for homework help, but in this case, all that was needed was three lines of code...

Thank you to those who helped me I got an excellent grade on the assignment thanx to you. No, you didnt get a great grade, you cheated and lied to your teacher to get a grade you did not deserve. If you deserved the grade you should not have had to ask for the answer on a forum. Dont try to hide yo...

LOL! In that case they must be REALLY low on space because they deleted my account there too!

Probably thought you were a spambot. I did too, was close to deleting the topic.

It's because they're running out of space and the forum database is really really big.

I figured since this is Pete's QBASIC/QuickBasic Site you would help me with my QB problems instead of telling my to use FB!!! Ok, I spent 40minutes downloading FB of Windows and it pops up with an illegal operatione error that deosn't occur with FB for DOS! You got it all wrong, I'm not telling yo...

You cant get SVGA working on windows XP universaly. You might get it to work on one computer, or two. Dont code in QBASIC if your target audience is using any system newer than DOS. And thats REAL DOS, on a DOS system (read: system from 1990 or earlier) Not the DOS shell in XP or 200 or whatever. Fa...

Learn to do network programming
Make a HTTP grabber
Learn the WORD format
Make a WORD reader/writer
Combine the two

There ya go.

Homework.

Not true. Most issues with QB and a COM port can be solved by turning off the FIFO buffer. Not true, again. There is no direct hardware access in Windows (Counting from versions after win98) So accessing such things from inside a DOS shell is, impossible. Qbasic uses the BIOS services for accessing...
