| Screen dump - PCOPY - routine. How would I make this in C? (URL to post in Main Forum*) | Pete on May 13 |
| * You would have to create your own console buffer, which I haven't experimented with. | rpgfan3233 on May 13 |
| Not exactly Step 2 in the tutorial where step 1 is printf("Hello World"); | Pete on May 13 |
| * Another alternative is something like SDL or Allegro. :P | rpgfan3233 on May 14 |
| I'd use FreeBasic but it costs too much! | Pete on May 12 |
| Why CHR$(255) was changed from CHR$(0) | rpgfan3233 on May 12 |
| You can still use CHR$(0) in a file in FB... | 'lipse on May 13 |
| "So, the only thing I see in favor of FreeBasic is Free. I'll take power over cheaper any" | 2 on May 13 |
| huh? Did you even try benchmarkng the two? | relsoft on May 16 |
| I made this 4 matt. |

| Binary counting program in FreeBASIC |
on May 9 |
| Huh? Why you do that? |
on May 9 |
| * There is a built-in BIN$ function that was created for FB. . . | rpgfan3233 on May 10 |
| LOL,I love that function. | 2 on May 10 |
| There are other numerical systems... |
on May 10 |
| NOOOO! Anything but ternary! | 2 on May 10 |
| * I wrote one a while back @ program that does roman numerals |
on May 10 |
| I can up until you need to go beyond 3999. . . | rpgfan3233 on May 10 |
| Yea. Here's a roman numeral program I did as an asignment: |
on May 11 |
| Dude,I could use something simpler. | 2 on May 11 |
| "any other base=2" -> | rpgfan3233 on May 10 |
| ?! negabinary?! How does somebody know which is which? | 2 on May 11 |
| Here is the only way I know of doing colors in C. | 2 on May 9 |
| Here is you a color function: |
on May 9 |
| *NOTE: My color function only works under windows |
on May 9 |
| But it works well! | 2 on May 9 |
| BTW,where did you learn how 2 use Windows.h? | 2 on May 9 |
| That's a reference I often use. |
on May 9 |
| I learn it as I need it. | rpgfan3233 on May 9 |
| "Don't you love how colours relate to powers of 2?" |
on May 9 |
| I had 2 change it 2 get it 2 work. | 2 on May 9 |
| Maybe rpg can satisfy my curiosity. | 2 on May 8 |
| (URL) Sure, you can open a file in binary mode. | rpgfan3233 on May 8 |
| Well thanks alot! :P | 2 on May 8 |
| I figured it out.I don't need binary mode! | 2 on May 8 |
| My file comparing tool in C. | 2 on May 8 |
| ...M$ and the horse they rode in on. So many Basics do 32-bit Anyone try these? | Pete on May 7 |
| BAD? Nah, not if you're dead ;-). |

| LOL,this is kinda like a virus! | 2 on May 7 |
| If you like QB's IDE,you'll like the IDE of this! | 2 on May 6 |
| I've been using Turbo C/C++ (version 3) for DOS (by Borland). | Solitaire on May 8 |
| It looks like 2.01. | 2 on May 8 |
| Funny thing I saw about C... | Pete on May 6 |
| *C is popular, but Java still seems 2 be more valuable 2 businesses. I don't know why. . . | rpgfan3233 on May 6 |
| rpg is right |

| *Thanks for info 'lipse. | Pete on May 6 |
| WOW.That's sad. | 2 on May 6 |
| * The java specification is much larger than C++. That's why it is so large. | rpgfan3233 on May 7 |

| * 'public static void main()' should be 'public static void main(String args[])' | rpgfan3233 on May 11 |
| How about Ada? |
on May 7 |
| It has been around for a while. . . | rpgfan3233 on May 7 |
| IT was blamed, but not as a language per se. |

| C Programming is not for the faint of heart... | Pete on May 5 |
| Dude,there are differences between C compilers! | 2 on May 4 |
| * Post your code. This after all the "Non-QBasic Forum". :P | rpgfan3233 on May 5 |
| OK. | 2 on May 5 |
| * What compiler doesn't this work with? M$ Visual C++ or what? | rpgfan3233 on May 5 |
| * And tell what errors you get too, plz. | rpgfan3233 on May 5 |
| There are 2 compilers it wouldn't work with. | 2 on May 6 |
| Miracle C is just. . . wrong. | rpgfan3233 on May 6 |
| It's a miracle they can call it C,,, | Pete on May 6 |
| It has that 16-bit app style. | rpgfan3233 on May 6 |
| *Yeah,I did later get Watcom 2 compile the "Hello World". | 2 on May 6 |
| Question for C and C++ Console applications. | Pete on May 3 |
| Well,it depends on the compiler. | 2 on May 3 |
| That either didn't answer my question or I simply didn't understand the answer. | Pete on May 3 |
| * AFAIK, console apps in NT-based environments (NT, 2K, XP) requires cmd.exe, not NTVDM. | rpgfan3233 on May 3 |
| *So do you think console apps will be available as long as windows apps because of that? | Pete on May 3 |
| NTVDM is stubborn | rpgfan3233 on May 3 |
| Why is it that the Task Manager never has an option: KIck NTVDM in the nads? | Pete on May 3 |
| Re: *So do you think console apps will be available as long as windows apps because of that? |
on May 3 |
| 'lipse, you're the man! That makes good sense. | Pete on May 3 |
| * note that system("cls"); is platform-specific and isn't guaranteed to work in the future |
on May 3 |
| I also read this about tapping into the command line... | Pete on May 3 |
| *Win32 API has SetConsoleCursorPosition() (same as LOCATE in QB, but starting at 0, not 1) | rpgfan3233 on May 3 |
| I wish I could use that...or something! | Pete on May 3 |
| (URL) You can download the Win32 API @. . . | rpgfan3233 on May 3 |
| * Windows = "cls", Linux = "clear" | rpgfan3233 on May 3 |
| Yes,I know. | 2 on May 3 |
| Thank God! I was scared! | 2 on May 3 |
| Bad news: The Console window in the .NET framework is NOT the same as the DOS console. | Solitaire on May 5 |
| I want 2 kill M$!!!!!! | 2 on May 5 |
| DOS != Windows console | rpgfan3233 on May 5 |
| Well yeah,I knew it wasn't true DOS. | 2 on May 6 |
| Well,maybe you could try it! | 2 on May 3 |
| My knowledge of C has grown! | 2 on May 2 |
| The system() function is fun. | rpgfan3233 on May 2 |
| Yes,I always liked SHELL. | 2 on May 2 |

| CG's (ComputerGhost's) C tutorial is awesome! | Pete on May 1 |
| *:-) Thanks, Pete. I'm glad they are of use. |
on May 1 |
| CG, any ideas on this | Pete on May 2 |
| No ANSI-C, C89 or C99 function seems to do that in Windows (for me anyway). | rpgfan3233 on May 2 |
| Examples | rpgfan3233 on May 2 |
| Cannot get that to compile in Dev-C++ | Pete on May 2 |
| a = ''; returns an error of empty character constant. | Pete on May 3 |
| conio isn't in Dev-C++. | 2 on May 3 |
| Well, it works for me! Also, here is the best INKEY$ replacement code I have found so far: | Pete on May 3 |
| You're right! It IS good! | 2 on May 2 |

| I DID dislike C++,but something happened! | 2 on Apr 24 |
| * The next thing to explore is the STL string class or the STL vector class! ;) | rpgfan3233 on Apr 24 |
| What do those do? | 2 on Apr 24 |
| Check out the STL string class. | rpgfan3233 on Apr 24 |
| Thanks alot. | 2 on Apr 25 |
| I kinda got something working. | 2 on Apr 25 |
| To get an entire line: |
on Apr 25 |
| *Thanks,I'll look this up. | 2 on Apr 25 |
| Also note that getline() isn't restricted to just console input. | rpgfan3233 on Apr 25 |
| Well,it works now! Thanks! | 2 on Apr 25 |
| *I found a reason for it (primes) and you should know what it is because you are involved. | rpgfan3233 on Apr 26 |
| Yes,that's true! | 2 on Apr 26 |
| * A file is faster than a console because everything runs through NTVDM (slower than DOS). | rpgfan3233 on Apr 26 |
| * I think it's because file output in QB/FB uses a buffer and screen output doesn't. |
on Apr 26 |
| Well,the TYPE command can still read those files fast! | 2 on May 6 |
