Hi HHG. I had the same headace problem when FTPing my site files for the first time. All my links were in lowercase, all my files were in UPPERCASE, so no links would work.
As correctly stated above by others, Qbasic can make only Short file names -- all uppercase (even if you put lowercase...
Thanks for sharing the link. I'd forgotten about that site.
I also have a QB KB collection up, with a search engine. So far there's over 1650 articles about QB.

Hi Barok. :)
Wow, That's a bunch of errors.
How about just giving 1 or 2 of those errors messages here. ;)
Also, what's the BC & LINK lines you're using?

RLE is pretty simple and easy to do in QB, but only works well on simple images.
I have a small (and very basic) RLE tutorial/demo thing here, if you want it.

yeah, I'd say PowerBasic too. For a windows basic compiler, Powerbasic is hard to beat. It's a strong basic compiler with a strong following and tech support. It produces small fast exe's needing no runtime.
PureBasic also produces small exe's needing no runtime, but it's a little odd and...
Hello.
I happened to just now be reading a document from the QuickBasic Knowledge Base that covers this stuff and have posted a small portion of it for you here since I can't dig up a url for it at the moment. You can get the entire QB KB (freeware) at my site if you'd like to have it. It's...
Like Buff, I also usualy make a special compiled version for demo software with the extra features removed.
Another good method is to have the program look for a 'key' file. If it's there, then have the program access the extra features.
You could appened extra info on the end of the EXE...
&HFFA6 is where the bios font is stored.

...points to this location. Then you can use PEEK to retrieve the font data. Here's a small SUB that uses this method which prints words on the screen without using PRINT.

This error can come from a few reasons, such as being in a directory (or
using a filename) with the @ symbol in it.
Another cause of this error may be that you are using the wrong version of
the linker, as this document below from microsoft explains better than I
can.

Without more information it's hard to say what's causing this error with your program, although it does narrow down the bug searching knowing that it runs fine in the IDE but fails when compiled.
Are you using CHAIN at all? If so, don't create a run-time needed EXE - create a standalone one or...
I've written a number of BMP loaders in you can have -- for SCREEN 12, 13 and Vesa modes. They're on this page:

Here's a nice program on Toshi's project page that loads many kinds of BMP's...
Hmm ... I dunno ... It works correctly for me using Qbasic & QB4.5.
Are you using v7.1 by any chance? If so, then are you linking with the NOFILTN.OBJ file that comes with PDS? There's a bug wih that. Linking with it result in invalid VAL() returns.
Only thing I can suggest right now is -...
