Pete's QBASIC Site

welcome to the forum....look forward to seeing your programs...

Did you know your FBTop50 $$$ is defunct? Better check that. EDIT: since when is the word "b.u.t.t.o.n" banned? it was an effort to keep spambots with b.u.t.t in them as there was a slew of them i was trying to keep out... i'll fix that for that one as we have a different fix in place tha...

this is a better idea if I had the money. Just to go out and $$$ one would be even better. It's just to go or do any thing out side my own home would cost money. ? You're library charges you to take books out? :?: Like I said, No Money any way. and the library won't have books for the programming I...

here are quite a few game makers some easy to complex...

in your nesting of IF THEN statements

you have and END IF that doesnt have a preivous IF...


IF blah blah


THEN blah blah


END IF

you may have a whole bunch of these nested one within another
go back and match them up...

hmm i made a fake gui and it shells out and doesnt bonk
after 40 shells...it must be a resource thing on your computer.

what system do you have and such....


mine calls these programs

email
internet
dos prompt
dos calender
notepad
dxdiag
hearts

why on earth would you want to shell 40 times?

is there a point to this or just to see how
far you can push your computer?

thats old qbasic for you....it generally takes a bit more coding
to do the same thing as some of the higher level languages.

its probably just as easy to not try the buffer storage thing
with qbasic and just handle things with files.

sorry to hear that...so few active basic sites left...

i see a flame war in the brewing. i'm moving this over
to general topics so real questions can be asked/answered
on how to use Qbasic without distraction....

correct...pertty interesting aye?

the ones that suprised me were texas, california,alaska
and tennesse...

yes pete still needs to fix the file area for us
but still needs some time to do it.

in the mean time you could post it at qbasicstation
they woudl appreciate the upload.

this map shows each state in the USA and the corresponding
nation that has the same GDP(income) as the state.

BBSmates is working today...get over there!



also if you can email one of those old door maker guys
there are still some around alot of them worked with
basic and pascal to make those old doors and can help.

I want to make a program that can send files through the sound ports.


Thanks

it would be better to be more SPECIFIC about what your programming
before anyone can help you.

Wherever you produce output, also print it to the screen. Example PRINT #1, "Total: "; TotalSales would be changed to PRINT #1, "Total: "; TotalSales PRINT "Total: "; TotalSales what you can also do is add a pause to this..... so the program prints one line of output t...

well what it sounds like is you want to store something in EMS or XMS memory and not an actual file... here is one explaination of a "buffer" : Buffer: When referring to memory a buffer is temporary storage in memory used to temporarily store information while other information is being pr...

these guys can probably help you the best with BBS and doors... http://www.bbsmates.com/ i use to run a wildcat BBS in the day.... here is a list of doordrop files http://www.geocities.com/spiky_one/doorfile.html door.bat i can't quite remember but it was something like.. path to the doordrop file p...

yehaw...

neat.....thanks for adding some much needed content...

how long did it take to make so far?
