How do you open/use ports in QB? So like if you had a game and you wanted a world wide high score it could be displayed on the internet or oyu could access MSN from QB...
Ill give you the MSN port if you like and try to think up something with that.
MSN port number = ok actually theres like 9 or something....just checked now....
8360
4006
9
2356
2344
8496
8510
those are the ports for MSN
I got these by using this program called "Active Ports"
Simple port program
google it =)

You probably did half the work. What you have to do shouldn't be that hard.

I think it can't be done unless you are on a pure DOS system (where DOS is the only operating system).
You need a language like Visual Basic which was developed to be an integral part of the Windows operating system, if you plan that people can use your program from there.
Otherwise, all your players will have to boot up in pure DOS. (Well MAYBE you can get to COM3 or 4)
IMHO
But to answer your question, experiment with something like
Code: Select all
OPEN "com2: 300, n, 8, 1,cd0,cs0,ds0,op0,rs,rb2048" FOR INPUT AS #1
DIM w AS INTEGER, v AS INTEGER
DO
w = LOC(1)
IF w <v> 0 THEN PRINT INPUT$(w, #1) ELSE PRINT "No input received"
CLOSE
and study stuff like

ok so VB seems to be the ONLY way (but ill look up on com3,4)
all im trying to do is make a program that sends it self to a website and writes it self in a text file and shows it on the site.
