QuickBasic Cafe Forum

You can try using the $DYNAMIC metastatement which may help. If it is one program, the best bet is to put some of the functions and subs in separate bas files then use the load option and load these other bas files. The system will then make a mak file with the names of the bas files. When compiling...

You might have a look at powerbasic console compiler.
QB/PBdos like syntax with graphics and full 32bit windows compiler. full access to windows api as well as com programming for the internet.
Their support on the forum is outstanding too.

Try this. Scroll down to see the old ABC archive packets. There might be something there. (ABC=AllBasicCode)

Even if not there, there is some great code there.

I should have included this in my comment above. When I refer to 'LOAD' a program, it is different then 'Opening' a program. You can have several bas (or other extensions) 'loaded' at the same time. This enables you to make larger programs than are normally able to be made. This is because the compi...

Just a comment. The QB45 ide and the DOS Edit are based on the same
program structure (at least originally).

If you use it quite a bit you will get to like it, especially with the ability to
'LOAD' programs and direct access to the help including ascii values that
is handy.

With QBasic Call absolute is included. With QuickBasic 4.x,7.x you must load a library containing call absolute and/or call interrupt/interruptx The easiest way is to start QB with /L option. This Loads Qb.QLB when QB is started. It gives you the ability to use Call absolute or interrupts. There are...

if you only want it to respond to your keyboard input then change if inkey$=... to if a$=... above those statements use while a$="":a$=inkey$:wend at the bottom of the do loop use a$="" DO WHILE A$="":A$=INKEY$:A$=UCASE$(A$):WEND IF A$="W" then... IF A$="W" or A$="A" ..... then pset(x,y),6 A$="" LOOP

7.1 or PDS is the last one I believe. Remeber it's MSDOS. MS hasn't written any MSDOS stuff, except for a few tweaks of their MSDOS versions to go along with early windows versions, in some time There are some tips. Keep line lengths as short as possible (under 100 characters if possible) if your pr...

What davenstein is talking about (I think), is using several bas files at once. If you are only using gosubs (and maybe FN's) then consider using SUBs and FUNCTIONs instead with most of them in other bas files. Here is how it works. (simplistic example) (main program) MAIN.LOGIC: GOSUB OPEN.FILES GO...

If it's a QB program, send it to me and I'll see what the problem is.

Try using Save As and designate the actual path and program name before saving it.

Works fine for me.
After getting to the site, click the files option at the top.
Look for instald7.zip
it downloaded fine for me.

Compile under the Run oprtion then Compile.

The trouble QB has with playing wav files is memory usually.

Small wav files can be played ok. For example chord.wav

see my installation program. it has an example. (installd6)

It's on other sites too.

If you run it in the ide then if it truly is an if block error it should show you where it's having a problem. Indent all your block IF's, FOR's,WHILE/DO, etc. so you can see where the routine ends and where you are missing something. It could possibly have to do with a line that is too long in the ...
