| You should always check your batches before cooking them! |
on Nov 20 |
| Yes, I had to run out of the kitchen and up to the school... | Pete on Nov 20 |
| * Not a bad idea to print it before you run it though. |
on Nov 20 |
| * Thanks. Yeah, running bat files with FORMAT and /q, what could go wrong? | Pete on Nov 20 |

| How to do TSR in QBasic? | angros47 on Nov 19 |
| How complex are we talking about here? | Pete on Nov 19 |
| ehm... I need something a bit more complex | angros47 on Nov 19 |
| So you are interested in something like this? | Pete on Nov 19 |
| Why would anybody want a TSR? They use up resources. |
on Nov 19 |
| Well, apparently the OP does. | Pete on Nov 19 |
| * I already use that in all of my QB batch files. My PC fan goes on high speed anyhow. |

| GIMI is interpreted | angros47 on Nov 19 |
| *you could use call absolute to multitask machine code in qbasic | Ben on Nov 19 |
| But how can I write the multitask code? And how can I load/unload it? | angros47 on Nov 19 |
| * Try the free Demo download first. I'd give it to you if I had a copy. |
on Nov 20 |
| Ethan Winer's PDQ Package |
on Nov 19 |
| *But can be downloaded? AFAIK, it's not available for free | angros47 on Nov 19 |
| * Tell Don to email it to you... |
on Nov 20 |
| *Isn't that illegal, since it's still sold? | angros47 on Nov 20 |
| * It was written in 89. Ethan is into music now, just like TheBob. |
on Nov 20 |
| * Only Ethan plays the pipes. :) | Pete on Nov 20 |
| Tell Ethan you are with the Smithsonian Museum, and you're asking for a donation... | Pete on Nov 20 |

on Nov 20 |
| Well then kudos to Ethan, he has the only QB full screen capture utility I've seen... | Pete on Nov 20 |
| * In SCREEN 0? It can be done in other screen modes. |

on Nov 20 |
| To get published, you need to have at least 3-stars. You only have one-star. | Pete on Nov 20 |
| * Or at least 8 Days, 3 hours and 2 minutes at QB64.net |
on Nov 20 |
| You know how to... | Ben on Nov 21 |
| You mean by using BootProg? | angros47 on Nov 21 |
| QB was made for DOS! |
