Reversing the port
To reverse a 1284 compatable port send the contol port C5 a value in your program as below: OUT 890, INP(890) OR 32 'sets C5 on if it is off Now you can turn the port's pins on using an A/D converter or other type devices using 5 volts. Check that C5 is always set in your PC program. C5 has a timeou...

WHAT?
A keyboard to the port pins? That's why you have a keyboard on a PC to begin with. To send data to the port, it must be reversable. The voltage used is only 5 volts! An unused port will return 255 until you send it something else WHILE it is reversed. All you do is turn appropriate pins on while in ...

LOL Who needs BRUN45? That should have been my first thought, but most programs do not require it. If you use CHAIN then you can use it so that you pass COMMON SHARED values to the other module. Stand alone modules CHAINED will need a file to pass the values. In any case, you still needed some type ...

Those are Quotes
In certain DOS commands, you need Quotation marks in the command. CHR$(34) is simply a ". However, QB would think that was a string marker if you just used that. The character is preserved in the string command for use by DOS only. Look up the ASCII character codes somewhere. They are an import...

You are using QB in an unfamiliar path
There are two ways this can happen. 1) The QB.EXE file cannot find a file outside of it's folder. Thus it asks for the path to it's folder files. You need to put the paths to all of QuickBasics EXE, Help, Include, and Library files into the Options menu of the IDE if they are not in the same folder ...

Loops are pretty fast, so you can make it appear to be doing two things at once. The only problem is if a procedure in the loop creates a delay of some kind. To print both the player and badguy you can print them both in a loop, but you will also have to find the new column and row too. This could b...

Well, that program looked like it should have worked, and after a lot of tries, I posted it at Network 54 Qbasic Forum and a guy got it working using PEEK instead of string manipulation of the color palette string. And it still cannot do large bitmaps in SCREEN 13! And now my old bitmap loaders will...

Not everybody uses graphics in QB and needs Bitmaps either. I got a bitmap loader from here and the code did not even run! It took me a while to get it working, but it is still posted here wrong. It uses Interrupts to load SCREEN 13 bitmaps, but it still cannot load a full screen. If anybody wants t...

PAINT is a piece of garbage!
You will need a decent picture editing program like Paint Shop or Photoshop. You might be able to use a decent scanner photo editor. Look around for one. The reason you need a decent editor is that QB can only use bitmaps of 4 or 8 Bits Per Pixel for images to be displayed in color. SCREEN 13 is bes...

Just print it to the screen also
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
Example
PRINT #1, "Total: "; TotalSales
would be changed to
PRINT #1, "Total: "; TotalSales
PRINT "Total: "; TotalSales

Try this
The obvious answer:
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
