| Anyone know why I am getting errors compiling my chess program with QB64? | qbguy on Mar 13 |
| Probably another thing where there is more than one way to code... | Pete on Mar 13 |
| RE: Using GOSUB inside a SUB |
on Mar 13 |
| Fixed the above problem (+screenshot) |
on Mar 14 |
| * Great job, Galleon! It sounds like your progress on QB64 is moving very smoothly! ^_^ | rpgfan3233 on Mar 15 |
| Cool. | Dav on Mar 15 |
| * In addition, QB is somewhat known on the comp.lang.basic.misc Usenet group. (URL) | rpgfan3233 on Mar 15 |
| Current progress |
on Mar 13 |
| *I'll release V0.62SC in a week or so (it will fix the paths problem) |
on Mar 13 |
| * Great. Looking forward to it. | Dav on Mar 13 |
| About OPEN's Alternative Syntax | Dav on Mar 14 |
| Your OPEN statement is archaic! |
on Mar 14 |
| Lots of QB features can be considered archaic now; | counting_pine on Mar 14 |
| * Did you read the rest of the post? |
on Mar 14 |
| *Yes, but too quickly, sorry. | counting_pine on Mar 14 |
| * I thought so. No problemo |

| DOWNLOAD QB64 DEMO V0.61SC NOW! |
on Mar 11 |
| * I have a quick question: Does SC mean "Second Chance" ? | rpgfan3233 on Mar 11 |
| * No it stands for "Self-Compiling" | qbguy on Mar 11 |
| It may just be ME but the EXE when compiled gives error. | roy on Mar 11 |
| Well, it was made by mennonite,, so maybe if you complain at it a lot it will run. :) | Pete on Mar 11 |
| *I tried shoving it up my ascii, that helped. | Pete on Mar 11 |
| * That 'Pete' in the above 'ascii' post is some other person or object. | Pete on Mar 11 |
| Calling Dr. Bombay, calling Dr. Bombay, emergency, come right away! | Samantha from Bewitched on Mar 11 |
| That's weird... It compiles and runs for me... | rpgfan3233 on Mar 11 |
| I don't know about all of that RP. but when I compile as all other version, no workie... | Pete on Mar 11 |
| * I just tried it. It still generates a 938KB wumpus.exe file. | rpgfan3233 on Mar 11 |
| Perhaps you have a corrupt download? | rpgfan3233 on Mar 11 |
| RE Corrupt download: roy too? That would be odd. | Pete on Mar 11 |
| It's not a corrupt download... |

| Sorry to say, but the project has lost the initial effort. |

| what are you talking about? |
on Mar 12 |
| *the other thing that jumps out is that it's usually Clippy vs. the rest of the world. |

| You freaking hypocrate! |
on Mar 12 |
| *Hey, I want you to meet my cousin. His name is Mikey. HE LIKES IT! HE REALLY LIKES IT! :P | rpgfan3233 on Mar 12 |
| * LOL you are funny tee hee |
on Mar 12 |
| I think you meant "hypocrite" |
on Mar 12 |
| * You most definately know how to spell it! I added the RAT on purpose! |
on Mar 12 |
| * I think this "freedom of speech" has gone far enough | XO-XD on Mar 12 |
| * Mozart wrote some music in the SEVENTEEN '60's | qbguy on Mar 12 |
| * I don't get classical music. I guess unlike Motzart, Imadumass. | Keith Richards on Mar 12 |

| Good to know |

| Re: Good to know | LaananFisher on Mar 12 |
| Great! I agree with most of what you said |
on Mar 12 |
| *I'll admit to going out of my way to target him on occasion. |
on Mar 12 |
| * You don't have to be annoying just to show your courage. :(o.O); | XO-XD on Mar 12 |
| * Then you must have a lot of balls LOL.................... |
on Mar 13 |
| * Nice to know I'm not losing my mind.. I just misplace it periodically. | Pete on Mar 12 |
| Hey pete, try... | Dav on Mar 12 |
| * That's a different Pete | qbguy on Mar 12 |
| * Absolute pathways is the first thing I did try but no workie. I agree it's a path issue. | Pete on Mar 12 |
| RE: Error in sample VORTEX.BAS |
on Mar 11 |
| It seems to occur whenever PALETTE value is > 255 | Dav on Mar 11 |

| RE: Reason for illegal function call in VORTEX.BAS |
on Mar 11 |
| *rpgfan3233, your signature should include QB64! |
on Mar 11 |
| * I'll do one that is even better... | rpgfan3233 on Mar 11 |
| *Much better, I like the FB bit, that's what I think. |
on Mar 12 |
| It's quite stable; ignore the version numbers. | XO-XD on Mar 12 |
| Everything you mentioned is what QB64 is all about.... |
on Mar 13 |
| Thanks MystikShadows |
on Mar 13 |
| You missed the point of my argument. | XO-XD on Mar 13 |
| Nah, I know you're point...The point is not the problem. |
on Mar 13 |
| * You mean "I know your point" | Grammar Police on Mar 13 |
| * His POINT is on top of his freaking numbskull brain! |
on Mar 13 |
| * The EXE is public domain -- disassemble it if you want | qbguy on Mar 13 |
| * It is public domain, but as XO said, it certainly can't be called "open source". | rpgfan3233 on Mar 13 |
| *"It's taken QB64 an entire year to compile itself;"? It's been sixth months |
on Apr 3 |
| *Invalid EXE generated? Run COMPILE.BAT NOT COMPILE.EXE!!! |
on Mar 11 |
| RE: NULL length .EXE still generated? |

| contcomp.bat now working | roy on Mar 11 |

| * Newer versions of GCC can take a long time, especially on Windows via MSYS and MinGW. | rpgfan3233 on Mar 11 |
| QB64 BUG: STRING$ | qbguy on Mar 9 |
| *Thanks. Both forms are implemented, so perhaps it's a recently introduced problem |
on Mar 9 |
| QB64 Demo V0.61SC works perfectly! |
on Mar 9 |
| "Programs couldn't exit (via... X button)" | XO-"Uber"-Guard on Mar 9 |
| * Clicking the X button causes the program to exit immediately when not in a sub | qbguy on Mar 9 |
| * But should it work like this? Just a thought. ;-) | XO-"My"-PC on Mar 9 |
| * If you are in a SUB and you click X, then the program crashes in QB64 demo 6 | qbguyt on Mar 9 |
| RE: How will the programs save data before closing, or confirm the close action? |
on Mar 9 |
| Great, now see if you can show the devs at FreePascal how to do that. | Pete on Mar 9 |
| *Ctrl+C is rather common. Only QB seems to use Ctrl+Brk. Everything I've used uses Ctrl+C. | rpgfan3233 on Mar 9 |

| SHELL and QB64 | qbguy on Mar 8 |
| * I thought we already did. ;-) | XO-"Web Master"-Jones on Mar 8 |
| RE: SHELL |
on Mar 8 |
| * But is there an equivalent for DIR in Linux, with all the options? | XO-"Green"-Tim on Mar 8 |
| Don't parse SHELL commands |
on Mar 9 |
| * That would be good or maybe a function _UNIXOS to decide if its a Unix shell or not | qbguy on Mar 9 |
| I agree. Don't parse them. | rpgfan3233 on Mar 9 |
| _RENAME??? | XO-"Noname"-Bob on Mar 9 |
| NAME |
on Mar 9 |
| Definitely | XO-"DST"-Clockmaster on Mar 9 |
| *Oh geeze, Galleon already said QB64 will know the OS! |
on Mar 10 |
| You're right, but so is XO. Also, this is the reason why I don't want SHELL interpreted. | rpgfan3233 on Mar 11 |
| Nice call on NAME. | rpgfan3233 on Mar 9 |
| * Yes folks, let's let Galleon get QB64 running QB code first! |
on Mar 10 |
| FILES is one of the most useless statements in QBASIC |

| I hope you don't feel under any timeline pressure... | Pete on Mar 5 |
| Getting closer! |
on Mar 6 |
| * Thanks for keeping us updated! I'm sure many are looking forward to the new compiler ^_^ | rpgfan3233 on Mar 6 |
| Now we're talking! |
on Mar 6 |
| * Great Galleon! Just what the doctor ordered! |
on Mar 6 |
| * tic-toc-tic-toc-tic-toc... Call me when the cake's ready. | Pete on Mar 6 |
| Spot the difference? (includes screenshot & info. about critical bugs) |
on Mar 7 |
| It's that Star Wars program that's screwing you up dude. Switch to Star Trek for success! | Pete on Mar 7 |
| * Star Wars works fine for me in Telnet... (Telnet URL) | rpgfan3233 on Mar 7 |
| * @"The compiler will be exponentially faster" But I thought QB was the faster compiler? | XO-WiFi-Master on Mar 7 |
| * The QB to C translation program runs faster in QB64 than in QB 7.1 | qbguy on Mar 7 |
| Another bug in Demo 6 |
on Mar 8 |
| and another... |

| about the bugs ; ) |

| Will conclude, that the source of #7 will be published and a Linuxversion already exists? | Jenklo on Mar 4 |
| * Sorry, don't draw any Linux conclusions just yet |
on Mar 4 |
| RE: that the source of #7 will be published and a Linuxversion already exists? |
on Mar 4 |
| Perhaps we should start a poll/survey about getting a Linux port working? | rpgfan3233 on Mar 4 |
| * I'm not sure what that Linux Club sub-forum is for, but it might mean something. :-P | XO-Green-Machine on Mar 4 |
| I have come to the sad conclusion that Galleon only has 2 typing hands |
on Mar 4 |
| What happened to "don't draw any linux conclusion just yet)? ;-) |
on Mar 4 |
| * $6? I thought it was free. Switch to the UK keyboard or something. | qbguy on Mar 4 |
| * Then it will be too heavy. :-P | XO-Green-Machine on Mar 4 |
| <-- Clippy's Hotdog Stand --> |
on Mar 4 |
| * 5 years? I thought it was ~3 years. {o.O} | XO-Green-Machine on Mar 4 |
| .18 years going by the latest version number |
on Mar 4 |
| * Version numbers don't mean anything. | XO-Green-Machine on Mar 4 |
| * I'd like to see this! :-) | XO-Green-Machine on Mar 4 |
| COMMAND$ dion't work | Stenley on Mar 3 |
| * Sorry. Not added yet |
on Mar 3 |

on Mar 4 |
| * Then how does QB64 use the filename argument? | XO-"Sleuth"-Jet on Mar 9 |
