I tried sumfin diffrent but I need one more multiple key for the moment.

How can I get Alt-tab to work witht the CHR$?

Probably this code can be found in the near future (probably before the end of this year) in qbinux... By that time I gonna do some beta testing on it for home-networking... if that works... we might gonna see qbinux hooking up to the internet... through text-mode or if we reach version 1.0.0 before...

Just to be nice... version 8 of UTC.bas (as I have named it): '(C) 2005, by Sebastian McClouth DECLARE FUNCTION GA$ (Value AS STRING) DECLARE FUNCTION Milit$ (Value AS STRING) DECLARE FUNCTION CC$ (Value AS INTEGER) CLS LOCATE , 20: PRINT "Universal TimeZone Calculator" LOCATE , 20: PRINT ...

How I compile it like the ide does??

This is one of the reasons why it is good to have an old laptop as programpc: you can read here and program on the other... The problem as you state... must be sumfin wrong in my math... I did several re-runs and found out that where there had to be - there was a +. Timezone calculator updates: nr ...

Ah okay thx...

Can I compile it like this:

What if I have to compile a file that needs a library... for example:
grtz?

That's all??

Heheheh... yes I need to perform this action... I'll draw the scene for ya: I'm running my code which could be installing another program... Now I want my program to able to compile a program (.bas) as well as a library. How can I achieve this if I have the needed qb-files along with it? BTW You cou...

Good new for me: I program at a pure dos system. I still find that to be the best way to program.

Thx for the hints.

I've visited several newsgroups, but neither one of them can really help me.

I need a key handler that can handle single and multiple keys e.g. tab, alt-tab, space, F12, up and down and left and right (arrows). If they are recognized the program has to perform a certain action.

Updates on qbinux: The new version will be a setup file, containing a tiny core, the complete core compressed, and ofcourse the setup-routines to install qbinux. I hope to have a working version by the end of this week. Shell (okay not a real shell but similar to Bash): QBash is going to some build...

Okay... back.. I think I found the bug... My mathematics part... I rewrote (not rebuild) it... (Back the the drawing table hehehe)... I wrote all the math down on a paper and started from scratch with that... A tiny adjustment... and voila: '(C) 2005, by Sebastian McClouth DECLARE FUNCTION GA$ (Valu...

Minor problem... I can't fix yet... I'm trying it with some other code I've coded... Darn... It should have worked just fine... Well... back to the drawing table...

Okay, fixed some more... You try this one... hope it works... '(C) 2005, by Sebastian McClouth DECLARE FUNCTION GA$ (Value AS STRING) DECLARE FUNCTION Milit$ (Value AS STRING) DECLARE FUNCTION CC$ (Value AS INTEGER) CLS LOCATE , 20: PRINT "Universal TimeZone Calculator" LOCATE , 20: PRINT ...

Your first version worked fine for calculating the time at the TO timezone. Now, with your new (simplified) logic, there's problems. Do some additional testing. I've testing it several times... it seemed to work... Reason why I used the simplified is because I had trouble calculating the date adjus...

3) You didn't validate the input time (hh:mm). Ditto.

I'm gonna work on these two. And while I'm add it, I'm gonna implent in my core code.

Bit later but I actually rewrote the whole math part... Now it doesn't calculate back to GMT anymore but straight to the desired Timezone, and because of this I was able to rewrite the dateadjust code... Here goes: '(C) 2005, by Sebastian McClouth DECLARE FUNCTION GA$ (Value AS STRING) DECLARE FUNCT...

I'll work on it some more later today. I'll probably have a working version 2night, which I'll post then.

Till then.
