Dear Patz,

Uh... can you really do that? Don't you need settings like baud rate and parity to make it work?

Well... FF is good, although I only completed the FFVI. During my high school days, every gamers talked about it. I was one of the zealous player. But then again, I haven't played any good PC RPG at that moment.... After playing Fallout, Arcanum, Diablo, etc... Well FF doesn't seems to be THAT good....

Ahem, well that's the problem... I could use HyperTerminal to extract the data (it works quite easily there) and get the small parsing code in the QB to make all the data came out the way I want it to be. Alas, my QB skill is quite lacking. Although I have checked the Help and Examples, my data acqu...

Ahh... indeed, QBASIC based software will suffer greatly in windows environment. But worry not, because I am not working in Windows :D In fact... because of the massive usage of processing power and the need of zero interruption in my program... working in Windows is a disaster. Sincere thanks for w...

I have a measuring device which uses a COM1 port as output to PC. It sends data at a particular format which i know, and being used, via windows telnet. I want to use QBASIC to make simple data acquisition program, but I can't really use QBASIC for such things despite my interest in it for several y...

Mouse Programming difficulties on WINXP

I wrote a simple QB code that uses interrupt h33 (mouse) in it. It works fine in win98se (the pointer show up and moves around), but in winxp, the mouse did not get detected (returning 1 on outregs.ax, instead of -1) when activated using inregs.ax=0. Did I did something wrong or perhaps I need a spe...
