Oak. I realize you can write data to the HDD from QB, such as variables, but I need help with the COM port. Lets say you wanted to take INFO$ and send it through the COM port to your friends computer down the street via the internet. Exactly how much code would that take? I'm not looking for a...

OIC, very cool. I'll need to get a hold of this new QB you speak of, I've never heard of it... Doug :-)

Hey. I need to know what "bt" and "ct" are. I can't figure it out without the values. Obviously the program is trying to divide something by zero, but without the other values I can't find the error. Doug :-)

Wow, that is truly impressive. (innocent bystander) Doug :-)

Hey man. If you want a program that is just as good as 4.5, but NEVER gives you compiling errors, just goto yahoo and search firstbas.exe. It dosn't support split screening, but it compiles like lightening and dosn't have all of those annoying realtime error checking faults like QB does. Check...

Firstbas, a QBasic clone, allows you to view all 255 characters! Check it out! Run something like: CLS FOR A = 0 TO 255 STEP 1 PRINT CHR$(A);" ";A SLEEP 1 NEXT A That will show you all of the cool characters to use in misc. programs. Doug :-)

Hey man. I'm running QB 4.5 here and your GUI has errors all over the place. Are you sure its ready to fly yet? No offense or anything, I can't program for beans! Doug :-)

Hey man, I think I can help! I have been working on a REALLY sorry RPG for like a month, but it may help with your problem. Again, sorry its a bit late: '*** GAME INFO *** ' 'SUBROUTINES: 'maingrid ............ Draws data grid and titles, no current values. 'cleargrid ........... Clears ONLY...

Cool man! I will try to find my list also. My friend Bob is a real freak with .DLLs. I will ask him too! Doug :-)

That would require A LOT of work. First you would need to program all of the .DLLs into some kind of QB library. I remember a few off hand: RUNDLL32.EXE USER,EXITWINDOWS - Shuts Windows down. RUNDLL32.EXE USER,DISABLEOEMLAYER - Locks Windows out. Windows controls EVERYTHING it does using .DLL...

You might also want to try simply overwriting the old lines and then drawing the new lines. Like this: SCREEN 12 LINE (MAZE)-(LINES),RED,B LINE (MAZE)-(LINES),RED,B LINE (MAZE)-(LINES),RED,B [user/computer movement command entered] LINE (MAZE)-(LINES),BLACK,B LINE (MAZE)-(LINES),BLACK,B...
