i understand. i used to moderate a music-making forum with over 1000 members and sometimes it was hard to disassociate myself from the task, but sometimes I just had to remind myself that it was a public forum and that as long as rules weren't being broken I needed to just step back and let the comm...

If you need a better dos emulator than the one included in winXP, use dosbox http://www.dosbox.com ,.. Dragon Stone Quest never ran in DosBox. Somethign to do with it being required to CHAIN from module to module, which was nessecary due to memory limitations on QuickBASIC. It couldn't recognized c...

...Do you want the program to be fullscreen at start?... I do. I use SCREEN 13 almost exclusively and my games look like ass until you Alt-Enter them lol. If it's an easy fix then it would be a useful feature to have some kind of switch at compilation or a meta command. I recognize that maximum com...

I've dabbled with it on and off over the years and I've put alot of sweat and tears into it and it's finally starting to look like something, but I've noticed that it doesn't seem to run on anyone's computer with Vista...
