RE to floor 4: "There is no ready-made package to call XMS"

Change the XMS absolute address call to an interrupt call, and the execution code is less than 100 bytes (memory usage is only 320 bytes)!

RE to floor 14: "Sweat, QB still has inherent deficiencies, it's really troublesome to operate, in C or PASCAL, a pointer can be done"

There are pointers in Power BASIC. Refer to "100 Reasons to Abandon QB and Use PB" (http://www.powerbasic.com/files/pub/pbdos/100ways.txt)

100 ways PowerBASIC 3.2 beats QuickBasic
========================================

1- PB 3.2 supports true pointer variables. Traditionally, a Basic
programmer had to use a combination of DEF SEG and PEEK and POKE to
access memory. Pointers are not only more flexible, they also make
data access much faster.

From the introduction on PB's homepage, it does seem quite POWERFUL compared to other BASICs. It fills in the gaps that traditional Basic lacked compared to other high-level languages, like pointer operations, bit operations, and assembly.

But it costs $99, and there's no help provided. The printed PDF is another $29. That's a bit much, not to mention that PBDOS doesn't seem to support object-oriented programming.

Friend happybasic might consider looking for a cracked version.

How come the楼主 who wrote rtCell hasn't shown up after so long...

The space is provided by 51.net, and there's nothing I can do about them putting ads up~~~ Helpless.....

Support, give it a try.

There is http://qbdos.ys168.com/ in my PB. The XMS package must be below [ Last edited by defrag on 2007-2-12 at 03:17 AM ]

QBwin needs the TX (special display) in UCDOS. Then does the developed program also need the support of UCDOS?

How to use that text input box in QBwin? I want to get the string input into the text box, but I don't know how to do it.

You must have XMS packages below

Hehe, not bad, give it a top

That was only needed in earlier versions; later versions do not require UCDOS at all.
ps: You can go to my small site to download the final version~

There's no download available on the site... Where can I get it? Can you upload it here?

Please leave your e-mail on my small station's message board, and I'll send it to you~~~~~~~

I see everyone discussing QBasic, and it's a bit nostalgic.
