Even with EMS enabled, all I get is 'Everything went fine 395' and then it exits. I've tried both in an XP Command Prompt and in DosBox 0.63.

Yes, I'm guessing that is the problem too. If you change the 0 TO 100's to 1 TO 100, you should be fine.

..My thoughts exactly Z!re...

Yeah, I used to get the same thing. Might be a bug in the IDE.

What kind of error does it give? Is it the IDE's own error or a Windows one saying it needs to close and asking for an error report? I've been getting the latter quite a bit now, but I don't know why.

Hmm, never had that error. Does it give an error code or segment or something? Talk to v1c on QBNews or Freebasic.tk if you can.

Use line numbers? See if they work.

Sorry, didn't see the DIM * AS STRING at the top. I copied + pasted some of it to see if it worked but missed off the declarations.

Of course. read up on the SCREEN statement here : http://freebasic.net/keywords.php?pagenum=5#214

The fourth parameter is a switch for fullscreen. You can also change the resolution, colour depth and the number of pages you need.

You could make a sub like that, but then you only have a resolution of 1 second if you use integers.

It's not my code, I just had it lying around. I'm not sure how it works, but it does.

Hows QB Express 9 coming on? I know your busy and I don't expect it for a while; I was just wondering how complete it is. Might have time to write an article on something, though I don't know what..

Some better code for your PAUSE routine. This runs at the same speed on all computers. 1 time% is 1/18th of a second (time%=18 is roughly 1 second). DEF SEG = 0 POKE (1132), 0 CountDown: IF PEEK(1132) < time% THEN GOTO CountDown DEF SEG edit: I've just noticed that you're treating the variable Conso...

What does your code actually do?

Try it. Let us know if you get it working.

Have you loaded QB with the /L switch?

It's not ready yet. Give Pete some time.

Yes, somebody wrote the CMOS battery stuff, but I didn't know their name. I did the rest. What other information do you need from the CMOS? Why do you need to access the real-time clock? If you need the time or date, that can be done through QB or DOS.

The browser that comes with GIMI uses a custom Windows program called GetWeb. All the browser does is write to a file with the URL, and read from a file with the html code or whatever.

April only has 30 days So you've got one day...
