- Rather than eliminating PMs, could you perhaps limit them to three an hour or ten a day or something similarly reasonable? By the time just a few had gone out, someone would have reported the spammer, probably. Or how about basing it on longevity: The longer you've been here and the more posts you...

- = why be an ass and include the link? Good grief burger2227, chill out with the asinine name calling willya? You look stupid with your chest all swelled out like that, over nothing. Mike Chambers is right, it would take a retard to click the link in a post that says "This link is a phishing a...

- Just one last checkin to see if anyone can tell me how to copy 100,000 bytes in bigger chunks, using QB 1.1 and nothing else. One byte at a time takes ten seconds or so and I can live with that if need be, but if I could do it instantly in four chunks or whatever that would be cool too. At any rat...

. I should have been more clear: the "ancient stock Qbasic that came with Windows 95" I mentioned is 1.1 which I got from Microsoft's website. I went googling on 4.5 and most of the first page of hits are people complaining about it not working right under XP, so I think I'd better do with...

. All I get is "Input past end of file". I went from [50 x 2000] to [500 x 200] and several stages in between and it just doesn't work. I can do it byte by byte but it takes ten or fifteen seconds so a quicker way to do it in bigger chunks would be nice! I'm guessing that "PRINT #2, d...

. Hi burger2227, thanks for the reply. I had mine at OPEN FOR BINARY and got an OUT OF STRING SPACE error. I then noticed you said to use OPEN FOR INPUT number AS #1 So I changed my BINARY to INPUT and now I get an INPUT PAST END OF FILE error with DATA$ highlighted in "DATA$ = INPUT$(25000, 1)...

Newbie going nuts... help!

. I got here googling and this is my first post. I was a fairly accomplished Basic programmer in the Commodore 64 days, which was M$ Basic 2.0, so I'm a little bit embarrassed by how simple my problem is, but here goes - I need what should be an extremely simple program for the PC but I can't figure...
