Most hard drives should be able to handle the continual access, and your operating system will most likely try to cache the information, but the real issue you'll face if a severe speed penalty. Depending on the amount of data you plan to store in your script, it might be a better idea to try and lo...

Re: Compile mutiple modules
Can someone please explain one more time how to compile multiple modules, from the dos-prompt? Seems to go wrong with my stuff. Some clean stuff might be refreshing. thx If you can compile a single module then compiling multiple modules shouldn't be much trouble. Compile each source to generate and...

Theophage, the Window and View facilitates QB's custom coordinate system, which is in effect whether you use it not, which means that QB's graphics routine perform the same calculations to effect coordinate translation all the time. You could implement such translation on your own, and the end resul...

Z!re, before I comment I want to make it clear that I am NOT taking issue with your admin decisions. 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. I assumed the poster would be using it in the context of a la...

Unfortunately, the VIEW setting doesn't effect the location of character output. You could implement your own screen buffer and cursor position. As for the DOS screen, you could display a prompt, use INPUT to get the command line. Then shell the command with the output redirected to a temporary file...

Who ever said, "There's no such thing as good news."

You cant if the QBASIC program is being run on a windows computer. End of story. 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 fr...

I think the difficulty many people encounter when they are introduced to C++ is that there are different flavors to C++ programming. C++, like C, has an interesting division between syntax and standard routines. Programmers who begin with Basic think less about syntax and more about the use of speci...

I wasn't sure I could trust a machine translation. ;) It's not possible. A QB program is simply not fast enough to handle all the information. Assuming the world is larger than a 100x100 grid, and that there are more than 2 people playing. It's a matter of design and ambition. I don't think what you...

Zamaster, if I have time tommorow I'll code an example to list the current directory using interrupts. DOS 7+ and the NT emulator provide services to retrieve a long file name once you have the DOS 8.3 alias. This requires a little more over head if you want to write a robust program. This technique...

Zamaster, if you are not opposed to using CALL INTERRUPT, you can use a few DOS services to to enumerate the contents of a directory. You'll need to set the current directory to where you want to search, so you may want to save the directory your program started in and restore it when you're done. Y...
