Pete's QBASIC Site

I have looked around and would like to suggest the following: 1. on the top of the page- Click - Return to Pete's QBasic site 2. choose - Downloads 3. choose Libraries 4. Download DirectQB v1.61 Use the assembly routines in this download as a reference and check if the headings etc of your ASM codes...

In the QB4.5 manual all I can find is - L1102 Unexpected end-of-file : An invalid format for a library was encountered. Your assembler must generate 16 bit code. The object files must be compatible with the Microsoft language family. If using Fortran, C or Macro assembler you first compile or assemb...

Thanks Ted.

When I finally got Logged In the post appeared in full.

I am using Firefox . (The latest download).

You must open the file as BINARY and then use SEEK to jump to a specific place in a file or a record. If you are using a sequential file where the records are of variable length then there is no way to accurately calculate where a record starts. If the records are of fixed length then you merely hav...

A bit late. I scratched and scratched until I found something. I turns out I did not use the Dir command. I used LOOK.EXE which is brilliant for this purpose- abolutely no processing is required. I tried it in XP and it still gives 8.3 DOS names. Using /Q switch it gives Drive\Path\Filename (Nothing...

@ Ted Now that is much easier. I haven't used the DIR command for ages. The last time I tried it was on WIN98SE, MS has since enhanced the DIR command. I tried /b on the DOS command line and it gave me the long file names. I see doing it from QB4.5 gives the DOS 8.3 names. It should now be pudding f...

Many years ago I wrote a small program to read the directory and then played the processed music files. Too long ago and too lost that program be. If the files normally have the same extension say *.txt then You could write a program to read the directory of interest, Something like this SHELL "...

@Ted
I found it under referral but they say you are already on Dropbox. So we have some bad luck.

@Ted I battled to find how to get the extra space, they ask for an e-mail address plus a password. I couldn't find anything else. Some more help would be appreciated. @simoncito The file ArowMenu.bas can be found here http://dl.dropbox.com/u/16853400/AROWMENU.BAS Please let us know if it is okay and...

The file including the mouse is 14K. The mouse alone consist of five SUBs and the Frame, FrameBox etc has 4 modules. ie a total of Nine SUBs. I have named it SELECMEN.BAS Without the Mouse the program will naturally be much smaller. It is now almost 9 pm in South Africa, and I should be able to give...

Sorry I was blind again and did not read you last post. I see you only require the Arrow keys.
I can extract this from the module.
Please let me know how many items are involved and thereafter give me a day or two to see if I can help you.

I have quite a large FUNCTION ... END FUNCTION module where I select between 16 items on a MENU. Using a MOUSE, UP/Down Keys+Enter or typing the letters A-P (The 16 choices). Because you say INPUT and not Menu, I am not sure if this would help you. The Mouse was a routine I added to QB.QLB. moving t...

Thank Ted and OPPRESSION for the info.

Thanks Opression. I have tried FBC but find that I must change too much in my programs for them to run using -lang QB or -lang fblite. -lang FB is virtually a totally different language to learn and does not have the ease and simplicity of QB4.5. As such it is closer to Pascal then BASIC. It also do...

The QB manual states that a QLB can be made using an OBJ file written in Microsoft Pascal, C, Fortran, MASM etc.
Does anyone know if a 32 bit OBJ can be linked to a QuickLibrary.

1.) Did You try a search for Metacommands. The following result showed up: Valerie : PostPosted: Fri Aug 26, 2005 8:12 pm : The BC compiler options and metacommands are here: http://qbcm.hybd.net/issues/1-9/#letters Unfortunately I cannot publish the two pages of the QB4.5 manual here. 2. Button on ...

I did not notice how old this was. So I am deleting my reply. Sorry.

But as Burger said; Post your code (snippet) and errors, without it it is not possible to help you.

Thanks Ted

I wondered what was going on when it didn't show it as code.
This is my ninth attempt to reply.
I keep being shunted to the Log In screen. It shows I am logged in and then returns to the submit and when I click it goes back to the LogIn and my previous LogIn has vanished.

Oh well.
error no 1. Dim shared Inn$(38)
error no 2. No error. Just to see what comment I would get.
QB4.5 Default is Long Integer. i.e. 2 Gig. So integer division \ is correct.
QB4.5 Data file record numbers. 2,147,483,647
QB4.5 Data file size. Available disk space.
