| Technically the programs need to check for the predefined key combinations. | rpgfan3233 on Oct 1 |

| *QB64 V0.841 Released today! |
on Aug 21 |
| Possible metacommand for QBASIC users |
on Aug 15 |
| It sure would make adding QB64 code easier in the QB IDE |
on Aug 15 |
| Personally, I don't think it'd be worth it. |
on Aug 15 |
| WHAT? It sounds like a switch to use the NEW QB64 functions to me! |
on Aug 15 |
| *The differences are the same as the differences between FB and QB. |
on Aug 15 |
| * It is not the same as FB! You NEED a switch to even USE QB code in FB! |
on Aug 16 |
| The metacommand would allow hybrid programming... |
on Aug 16 |
| * Why not set the environmental variable QB64_VERSION | Anon on Aug 16 |
| * Because that would only be skipped at runtime, not at compile time | ymous on Aug 16 |
| * The main point is that the QB IDE will ignore the 'QB64 code as a comment! |
on Aug 17 |
| Genius... | Captain Picard on Aug 23 |
| Applying that patch now Captain... |
on Aug 24 |
| *I understand it, I just don't like the idea of comment coding. |
on Aug 26 |
| * Then don't use INCLUDE or DYNAMIC either! |
on Aug 27 |
| There's a big difference |
on Aug 28 |
| It's only a way to use one program file instead of 2 really |
on Aug 28 |
| * Then use an existing macro system such as m4 | Anon on Aug 28 |
| Re: There's a big difference | Cyperium on Oct 4 |
| Good idea to say the least. | RpgFan on Aug 24 |
| You could exclude QB code with another QB64 command |
on Aug 27 |
| Galleon has added some missing download files. |
on Jul 30 |
| * INCLUDE will be available with next QB64 update. |

| * NO "tail recursion" for you! |
on Jul 9 |
| * You'll have to excuse Clippy, he hasn't had any tail in a long time. |
on Jul 9 |
| * I gather you won't post at QB64 anymore. So you can whine here. |
on Jul 9 |
| How far can one code in QB64? |
on Jul 8 |
