i cant do email anyway... it's down until i can get our server online again, then it is a new address... i might reenable my hotmail account for the time being... maybe... but it got like 40 spam / day... where does it all come from?!!!

anyway, thanks. i had never considered the possibility of a ...

never mind... i think i got it. also don't mind that i ask that in a reply, because the server that handles my email is down right now(hotmail account has expired, my comp isn't accepting IIS right now so until i can fix it i have no email!! )

i don't know if i'm interested or not. what do you mean by "a flow of random images"? i'm not much of an artist, so i can't really improve on the artistic point of view, but i *might* be interested in looking at the code if i know what you mean by that.

there are 2 or three disks to the install of qbasic 4.5. Generally, people will simpy send you the already installed files, but i have a copy much like that also. It is actually quite simple, Copy the contents of disk1 to a floppy, and the contents of disk2 to another floppy, insert the disk with ...

well got it done... thanks to you i remembered how to read a line. really was a stupid "brainfart"! i have devided to take a little different path to the compiler. The passes are as follows the way i was going to go about it before:
1: remove REMS and spaces before lines.
2: deal with compiler ...

yup that pretty much solves the problem.

ok i am working on a translator for the first pass of a compiler i am designing. and since Qbasic is by far much easier to deal with strings in than C, even though using qbasic will add one more pass to the compiling routine, i am using it for the sake of ease.

the problem is(and it's a really ...

it's the same as before...

16 bit isnt compatable with windows 2000 as far as i can tell... what is QB? wait.... 16 bit is compatable to some extent i know that, but QuickC gives me an NVCPM(or something) error when i am compiling. also, it freezes on my 486 so i'm kinof at a standstill.

QuickC... never heard of it. it's a 16 bit C compiler for DOS i am assuming... know where i can get a copy?

ok good. i would download one from here if you didnt already. Just to be sure, cause i use QB 4.5 from here often on my 486. it works just fine for me  ;D

ok so that isnt the problem any more. i ran the command window in full screen mode to find out what errors i would get. The NTVDM(or something) CPU encountered an illegal operation at some long address... so i think it is a compatability thing. I am going to try the same thing on my 486 and see if ...

i only got one error that is _printf is an unresolved external. Qbasic starts with it, but i run into one problem:

DECLARE SUB main CDECL ()
CALLS main

causes the whole command window to close and return me to my windows 2000 folder tree screen. by declaring it without CDECL it gives me an error ...

ok so i found the Multilib program(and figured out how to use it). but it gave me the same errors as the LINK command did, and really wasnt any more help than anything else... i think it may be something with the bqlb45 library that isnt liking my C obj file... do you know of any C compilers for DOS ...

also, if you have AIM then we can go onto AIM and you could give me the multilib with a file transfer in aim... my screenname is the same on AIM as this forum...
