    Creating A Bootable Flash Drive

    mikrom, I can't thank you enough. I was skeptical about ending up with an IMG file rather than an ISO file. I used Rufus to put the IMG file onto a flash drive. And VOILA!!!! It worked perfectly. Thanks, Joe

    Creating A Bootable Flash Drive

    mikrom, I knew someone in here would understand what I am trying to do. I don't have access to a power cord for my two Linux laptops. They used the same cord. I'll get the cord in a few daysand try your suggestion. Thanks, Joe

    Creating A Bootable Flash Drive

    FreeDos (1994) is ancient, huh? It is just 31 years old. But it isn't as old as Linux (1991) which is 34 years old. It isn't as old as Windows (1985) which is 40 years old this year. And it certainly isn't as old as MacOS (1984) which is 41 years old. The fact that I am using FreeDOS is of no...

    Creating A Bootable Flash Drive

    I will continue to repeat what I am trying to do until someone understands what I am trying to do. Ancient DOS tools has nothing to do with it especially since I am not using any DOS tools. I am using Rufus which is a Windows, NOT a DOS, program to create a bootable flash drive. I then use Linux...

    Creating A Bootable Flash Drive

    I created a bootable flash drive using Rufus to put FreeDOS on that drive. The flsh drive will boot up the computer. I then used Linux Mint and LMDE to create an ISO of that flash drive. Now I have a ISO file of that flash drive. When I use Rufus to put that ISO onto another flash drive Rufus...

    Creating A Bootable Flash Drive

    This is for Rick998. Your suggestions did not work. AnyBurn did create an ISO from the flash drive but it is not bootable. It basically created the equivalent of a ZIP file. ImgBurn is an installed and wouldn't download the files needed files to install but it did install some third party...

    Creating A Bootable Flash Drive

    In Windows and DOS, I created a bootable FreeDOS flash drive using Rufus. So far so good. I then added HIMEM, EMM386, and a few other goodies to create a decent, colorful environment. From there the AUTOEXEC starts the main program on the flash drive. When the program ends, the screen tells you...

    dBase iii+ Screen/Print Positioning

    This is the code. @ 4,2 SAY "Date Of Birth (MM/DD/YY):" @ 4,28 SAY DOB @ 4,42 SAY "Age:" AGE = INT((DATE() - DOB) / 365.25) @ 4,47 SAY AGE This is the display. Date Of Birth (MM/DD/YY): 02/26/69 Age: 56 Why is the age so far to the right instead of one space to the right...

    Memo field problem

    I've known about winworldpc for years. That's where I went to get dBase iii+ and 4. I installed 4 and still had problems with the memo field. That's okay. It would have been easier but I'll stick with what I have been doing. See below. My way is not as elegant but it gets the job done...

    Memo field problem

    Will dB4 and FoxPro also create executables? Joe

    Memo field problem

    Phil, I did try the Ctrl-PGDN key combo. I get sent back to the Dot Prompt. What I have been doing is using several Character fields of 74 characters. This at least gives the user some space to do free form text. I guess I'll go track down dBase IV and give it a try. Thanks, Joe

    Memo field problem

    Phil, Sorry about that. I forgot to say. I'm using dBase iii+. Joe

    Memo field problem

    I created MEMO.DBF with just one field called MEMO which is a memo field. I did an APPEND BLANK to create one record. In MEMO.PRG, I have the following: CLEAR USE MEMO @ 0,0 say "Memo: @ 0,6 get MEMO read close all This works fine as it displays Memo: MEMO with the cursor blinking under the M...

    QB45 - ASCII 31 (downward pointing triangle)

    Hey, everyone. Tks for all the help and suggestions. I decided to give up on CHR$(31) and will use CHR$(17) on the left and CHR$(16) on the right. As for using QB64, I have that and will compile my program there too. I'm using both so that everyone in the DOS/windoze world will be able to run...

    QB45 - ASCII 31 (downward pointing triangle)

    mikron, I like the way you think. But... it didn't work. Using flash drives, I booted up into Windows Millennium [Version 4.90.3000] which came from Rufus and MSDOS 6.22. The downward triangle still did not appear. I attached the Help screen that shows it can be printed. This is frustrating...

    No. I haven't. I'll give that a try and let you know. Tks, Joe

    QB45 - ASCII 31 (downward pointing triangle)

    I'm writing a program that will allow one to look up US/Canadian phone area codes. This will be done by either entering a state/province abbreviation or area code. That part is easy enough. The problem I am having is with the ASCII 31 character. Since it is a non printing character I must use...
