| They did. They called it Visual Basic since Windows is based on a GUI. | Solitaire on Jun 19 |
| * Don't assume; because when you try FreeBasic, you make an ascii out of you and me. |
on Jun 19 |
| Why aggressive? Because you keep saying the same things. |

| Decimal to qbasic | Dave on Jun 10 |
| You can use this to convert to any base number system. |
on Jun 10 |
| * QBASIC already has OCT$ for octal though | Anonymous on Jun 10 |
| * That doesn't work for "any" base system -- it can't even do bases above 10 like hex | foobar on Jun 11 |
| Check the subforum for previous solutions: | Solitaire on Jun 10 |
| WHAT the H**k is wrong with my solution anyhow? |

| Nothing wrong. Just add it to the archives for future reference | Solitaire on Jun 10 |

| Run Command In an .exe file |
on Jun 8 |
| As far as I know any valid command is legal when compiled... |
on Jun 8 |
| Using RUN |
on Jun 8 |
| *Strange -- try renaming the file just in case "TRAP" is a special .exe command. |
on Jun 8 |
| *Another possibility: if you still get an error, try CHAIN "Trap" instead of RUN. |
on Jun 8 |
| It doesn't matter that it is called from the Main Body... |
on Jun 8 |
| You can, but if I remember this right, not inside a sub... |
on Jun 8 |
| *In Crimson Tide, Denzel Washington ran inside a sub -- of course, he was an officer. |

| That just tells us that QBasic supports Affirmitive Action. |

| * Chit! That whitey captain never ran anywhere and let his dog pee everywhere! |
on Jun 8 |
| But functions in QBASIC are third-class citizens! | qbguy on Jun 17 |
| Yes you can, but will run an ".exe" file instead of a".bas" file | angros47 on Jun 9 |

| In a sequential file loop, does it really matter | Solitaire on Jun 4 |
| Yes, it matters | qbguy on Jun 4 |
| That makes sense. Now is there a preference | Solitaire on Jun 4 |
| UNTIL is just syntactic sugar for WHILE NOT -- use whichever you want | qbguy on Jun 4 |
| * The DO loops assume that there is data in the file prematurely. |
on Jun 4 |
| That should be "The DO loops prematurely assume that there are data in the file." | Grammar Police on Jun 4 |

| Not really random actually. |
