on Aug 26 |
| "identifying virtual machine" should be replaced with "identifying DosBox" cause | kool kamel on Aug 29 |
| Rotation | Ben on Aug 26 |
| * URL to a URL. Have you tried making a 2-D cube and spinning in your chair? :) |
on Aug 26 |
| 2D rotation |
on Aug 26 |
| The secret is in the X/Y co-ordinates |
on Aug 26 |
| this is everyone's favorite, because it's so easy | Zip on Aug 26 |
| Rotations without trigonometry. |
on Aug 26 |
| * Except you still need trig functions to define the transformation vectors with angles |
on Aug 27 |
| oh is that so? | wfbarnes on Aug 27 |
| Precision, and angles |
on Aug 27 |
| jesus guys, stop arguing lol | Zip on Aug 27 |
| I agree with Zip. Tim, Don't backpedal. | wfbarnes on Aug 27 |
| *No asterisk but don't agree with Zip, he is a shit. | roy on Aug 29 |
| If our newcomer had to choose, who do you think he would feel was out of line here? |
on Aug 29 |
| * Probably Tim...................No? |
on Aug 29 |
| Well I am a programmer...welll, sort of... and made this important correction... | Pete on Aug 27 |
| cool tips, Pete | wfbarnes on Aug 27 |
| *Heh heh, Pete and I don't mind the lack of indentation at all |
on Aug 27 |
| I've worked out your program - excellent. |
on Aug 27 |
| Thanks Artelius for checking out the code. | wfbarnes on Aug 27 |
| I think you misunderstood about the screen unit vectors. |
on Aug 28 |
| Ah, gotcha! | wfbarnes on Aug 29 |
| * Thanks everyone, I got everything working like I wanted. | Ben on Aug 27 |
| #^^&\!|{& `(}$$ #@!~- $&`() Oops, binary encryption question... |
on Aug 24 |
| Any old encryption method will work, doesn't have to be ASCII format |
on Aug 24 |
| I was just messing with that... |
on Aug 24 |
| * Glad you figured it out cause link in post did not woik! |
on Aug 24 |
| Well, I got this far, at least... and about link inside... |

| Encrypt/Decrypt | MarineDon on Aug 24 |
| Nice Screen shot! |
on Aug 24 |
| Sweet! |
on Aug 24 |
| * I'm trying to figure how he got the long filenames? |
on Aug 24 |
| * He used DIR > tempfile and parsed it |
on Aug 25 |
| That's how I find LFN's for my apps, too. | Pete on Aug 25 |
| Thanks Pete |
on Aug 25 |
| "In XP..." Not in mine! | Ralph on Aug 25 |
| *Sorry Ralph, Clippy caught an error in my code. Re-read the post now, it's corrected. | Pete on Aug 25 |
| * Typo Pete = SHELL "DIR CMD /C" gives you LFN's. |
on Aug 25 |
| No typos that I can see. Both Ralph and I post a forward slash switch... | Pete on Aug 25 |
| * Shouldn't CMD /C come first? |
on Aug 25 |
| *Thanks! I'm either getting senile or lexdyslic. OK, I'm going back and edit the post. |
on Aug 25 |
| * ALWAYS TEST your code before posting! |
on Aug 25 |
| I did, I did test my code 'befoe' posting Mr. Duck! |
on Aug 25 |
| * I knew what you meant anyhow QUACK. Poor Ralph........ |
on Aug 25 |
| I was just wondering... | Ben on Aug 25 |
| *Long file names are easier to recognize. That is one reason to have them included. |
on Aug 25 |
| Suppose you had 2 identical short named files |
on Aug 25 |
| You can actually manually set the short name for a file in XP | qbguy on Aug 25 |
| If all your files are "shorty" files... |
on Aug 25 |
| DIR /x works in xp and is documented | qbguy on Aug 25 |
| Never mind that... I just acquired pencilsharpener.com! |
on Aug 25 |
| A fix of the XPertQB.Bas Program |
on Aug 25 |
| * So how do you get LFNames in Win 95 and 98? |
on Aug 26 |
| True DOS gives both without work... |
on Aug 26 |
| Re: #^^&\!|{& `(}$$ #@!~- $&`() Oops, binary encryption question... | Ben on Aug 24 |
| Looks interesting but not for DOC files... |
on Aug 24 |
| Add DIM i AS LONG | qbguy on Aug 24 |
| * I'm more of a steak guy. Ever had tri-cera-tip? | Fred Flintstone on Aug 24 |
| What about this ? | Lisztfr on Aug 24 |
| SuperC works too | Iain on Aug 27 |
| Subroutine question | Lisztfr on Aug 22 |
| *Can you explain the problem better? I'm not sure what you want, nor why... |
on Aug 22 |
| I assume you meant sub program, not subroutine... |
on Aug 22 |
| Oops... | Lisztfr on Aug 22 |
| * Ok Gosub should do what i want | Lisztfr on Aug 22 |
| Yes, you want GOSUB, also... |
on Aug 22 |
| GOSUB has features too | Lisztfr on Aug 23 |
| exemple | Lisztfr on Aug 23 |
| Not a good idea, lisztfr... |
on Aug 23 |
| I hardly can avoid all GOTO and GOSUB | Lisztfr on Aug 23 |
| No need to "avoid" GOSUB or even GOTO... |
on Aug 23 |
| FRE(-2) | Lisztfr on Aug 23 |
| *Right! The program worked fine for me in QB1.1 - I got an error after 45 Esc presses. |
on Aug 23 |
| Program construction... | Lisztfr on Aug 24 |
| Can you show us the entire code? |

| OK... | Anonymous on Aug 24 |

| A question |
on Aug 25 |
| Because the line wrapping routine PRINTs in a flow... | Lisztfr on Aug 25 |
| It's not so easy to put all that together | Lisztfr on Aug 25 |
| Suggest you learn to use subprocedures. | Solitaire on Aug 22 |
| Solitaire, CALL? | Ralph on Aug 22 |
| DEF FN | Ben on Aug 22 |
| I wouldn't say that Ben............... |
on Aug 22 |
| Summary of DEF FN, SUB, FUNCTION | qbguy on Aug 22 |
| * Addionally SUB and FUNCTION release the memory used when done! |
on Aug 22 |
| * So DEF FN's waste memory and are slower? | Ben on Aug 22 |
| * No, DEF Fn is not slower as far as I know |
on Aug 22 |
| A lack of variable scope is greater cause for worry. |
on Aug 24 |
| spaghetti code | Anonymous on Aug 24 |
| No, you can't set a string as a parameter for a GOTO | qbguy on Aug 24 |
| Inside a SUB or GOSUB one can't make a choice for return/ not return | Lisztfr on Aug 24 |
| What do you mean by that? |
on Aug 24 |
| Ok | Lisztfr on Aug 24 |
| How bout this? |
on Aug 24 |
| Nice ! imho the 2 nd solution is good | Lisztfr on Aug 24 |
| I wouldn't know. I rarely ever have used GOTO ! |
on Aug 24 |
| Hi Clippy... | Anonymous on Aug 25 |
| * I did not use NOT. ELSE takes care of that! |
on Aug 25 |
| Sure you can! Us a Gosub inside a sub and EXIT sub to leave it. |
on Aug 24 |
| Re: Inside a SUB or GOSUB one can't make a choice for return/ not return | Ben on Aug 24 |
| Some people prefer CALL |
on Aug 22 |
| Thanks, Clippy. I now understand t... | Ralph on Aug 22 |
| The nice stuff about SUBs and Functions |
on Aug 22 |
| Some people CALL me the Space Cowboy... |
on Aug 22 |
| CALL is used to quickly identify the location of a subprocedure call, | Solitaire on Aug 23 |
| I completely agree with the use of CALL to track subs but about shared variables. | Pete on Aug 23 |
| CALL and SUBs, GOSUB and subroutines... | Ralph on Aug 23 |
| * Like I used to say I would NEVER get married :-( |
on Aug 23 |
| Bah, I use plenty of GOSUB routines... |
on Aug 23 |
| I agree that GOSUB's have their place... |
on Aug 23 |
| *Pete and Bob...I feel free again! Thanks!!! | Ralph on Aug 23 |
| *Great! And sorry for the "Bah" response. I hope you didn't think it was a sheep chot! |
on Aug 23 |
| *Honestly, Pete, I tried to trum your pun, but, I had to give up! You're the master! | Ralph on Aug 23 |
| True, SHARE does have its place in QB programming. | Solitaire on Aug 23 |
| Quick Question | Ben on Aug 21 |
| This quick question doesn't have a quick answer |

| Thanks. | Ben on Aug 22 |
| Correct. |

| *That's the only one I was aware of, but the Graphics Forum already has that - doesn't it? |
on Aug 21 |
| *...or did you mean, without opening the post? |
on Aug 21 |
| Without opening a post. |
on Aug 21 |
| * I don't think we need that info. A simple post click tells you that. |
on Aug 21 |
| *Up to you -- either way is fine with me. |
on Aug 21 |
| * Okay, okay, okay, geeze, Canadians are sooooo pushy! :) |
on Aug 21 |
