a few things about "qbinux"
Posted: Mon Jun 20, 2005 5:23 am
someone suggested a name change... "qbinux" is kind of hard to say, but it's good that it highlights the fact that it's based on a linux core component. "qbash" on the other hand, works well. feh.
also, if Console is a string, you certainly don't have to change it. i think you can just DIM Console AS STRING, although i'm wrong if the only way you can DIM AS STRING is if you also specify * lengthinbytes like you do for working with binary files. this saves you the need to change every Console to Console$ ...if you have a website that is hosting or highlighting this project, i would love to link to it. p.s. for your own sake. please, please look into FB. i have a page outlining the main differences linked from QB Express #9, if you're curious. it's been improved since. oh and do replace the sleep 2 commands with something better, like a q=timer+something:do:loop until timer>q or timer+something<q or inkey$<>"" 'if you keep the delays at all.
