I'm sorry, I just can't resist. Engineers are typically looking for numerical results to calculations. At least, that's what they were looking for when I left the field. As I've said before, I've written LOTS of code in BASIC (specifically GW-BASIC and QuickBASIC v 3.0) and all, ALL, still works in ...

Subtract the water and add a candle, matches, and a blanket, and you have a list of things everyone north of the Mason-Dixon should carry in their cars in the winter. Here in Wisconsin it's been known to snow up to 3 feet in a matter of a day or two. Run off the road at night during a storm and you'...

Although, for some odd reason, the TI-84 Plus Silver Edition doesn't run TI-BASIC files as well as the TI-84 Plus. (I have an 84P) ??? Odd... I have a TI 83+SE and my son has a TI 84+SE. We've exchanged apps, asm files, and TI BASIC programs back and forth with no problems running them at all. And ...

Now, mind you, I'm used to doing things the old (qb v3) way, but I think you have to use the Field statement before you use Get. But then you need to open the file as Random, rather than for Input. Maybe if you just use INPUT # instead of GET #. Also, with QB 4 and higher it's easier to open the fil...

I'm telling you that it's impossible to get SVGA working under all computers running Windows. There's simply nothing more to discuss. I don't know anything about VM's but what I've heard is mostly good. I think whar Z!re is getting at is this: Even if YOU can get it working on YOUR machine, there's...

As a teacher, one of the things I've noticed with students having difficulties is this. If you can force the student into an EXACT explanation of their question, many times they will spontaneously obtain the solution at that point. Forcing yourself to formulate an exact question (in writing, as on a...

Yanno, if you want to complicate things, but only a little... realize that a web page is HTML (well, many of them) and that's just text with ASCII tags. If the page is always the same it wouldn't be hard to write a program that scans a saved copy for the starting point, then read/parse the data from...

Well, I can't really tell you how to get this thing hooked up and talking to QBasic. The only thing along those lines that I've ever done is read data from a serial device. The manufacturer suggested some type of modem/terminal software, which worked, but I preferred to write my own and I did. Once ...

copy and paste
Hmmm... if you're using Windows, you should be able to copy from the web page and paste into NotePad. This will create a .txt file. If you then rename the .txt file to the extention ".bas", you should be able to open it with QB (or any text or BASIC editor) and complete your paste from tha...
