DS4QB2
Posted: Fri Nov 05, 2004 3:29 pm
I'm trying to put together a simple system that will display photographs, some with commentary. Ideally this system will consist of a fairly modern machine but with DOS6.2 and a compiled QB program.
In my hunt for suitable software I came across DS4QB2 by David Schnur. The author - if I have Googled correctly - seems to have moved on to other things, so I thought I would ask elsewhere.
David's text does credit Nekrophidius and a search for that led me here!
My query relates to the following extract: "..... allows a DOS program to communicate with Windows sound resources - specifically DirectSound. It does this through the excellent bass.dll sound library ....."
Not being a PC systems programmer, does the above mean that only the two .dlls supplied with the package are all that is needed or does one need to have some version of Windows installed? Would be nice if Windows was not required.
If Windows is a must, what would be the 'oldest' version I could use?
Regards,
Eevee
