CQML is Brandon's QML client... It's been progressing quite a bit faster than mine. There are a couple bug fixes though that need to be out (CQML doesn't URL encode), but they should be done by Friday at the latest he tells me. I'm working on one called ViolaQML in FreeBASIC that will have a nice GU...

The next version of CQML is out, right now it's the recommended QML reader. It supports forms, which means Quickspace is now interactive, although there are a few problems. The download link is the same as for the earlier CQML versions posted above, but it's the latest version.

Just thought I'd keep everyone updated: The current specification supports about 20 different tags, half of which aren't yet implememted in any QML reader because the spec was written after Qbrowse and CQML came out. I'm working on a nicely-interfaced fully spec compliant, linux and windows compatib...

I hope you're right. The beauty of a browser app is that they all draw their data from a central location, so multiple browsers can spring up to view the same page. That being said, cursor only has found 7 pages so far, all by either me or Brandon. At this point, the more pages that we can make in Q...

Glad you liked it... Right now I'm developing a new version that will include support for forms and other interactive elements, with the ultimate goal of creating a forum and/or CMS. I'm keeping graphics out of the tag set because I like the ASCII characters and don't want the art of drawing with th...

A QB/FB Markup Language and Browser

Recently I've been working on a project to develop an easy to parse markup language that would be suitable for a textmode Qbasic browser. My reasoning was that, with HTML, millions of pages will render, all of them incorrectly. With a new language, an admittedly smaller group of pages will be availa...

If there are BIOS fonts does that mean you could use them in text mode?
I saw a program once that did change the font in text mode, and it was only like 5 lines long!

Yep, SEEK'll work. It sets it to the byte position in the file.
For most things I do just use random-access files. But this is a readme file and so I wanted to make it readable by any text-editor in case the person didn't want to find out if the program had a built-in readme viewer/help system

I know there is probably no room left in this issue :) but I think it would be a good idea if someone figured out how to print graphics already! I don't really understand PCL, but I know it can be done using PCL escape codes. Somebody should look into it who knows more than me!

Sequential File Position Reset

Is there any way to go back to the beginning of a sequential file without closing it and then re-opening it? I know this is probably a stupid question, but I did not find anything about it
