MSDOS version is written in QB4.5 the windows version in Personally I sell a Client Writeup program for CPAs. To use a lot of asciiz strings (that is fixed with chr$(0) at the end) and limitations on baud rates (some of which can be handled by third-party librarys like mdm2. It is severly limited since windows and the internet seem There have been some attempts at internet stuff with qb but Sort of "What is the state of QB in 2004?"Īny opinions? RE: QBasic/QuickBasic Uses and Usages This is just a rambling sort of question, I know. Of course without a stream of income supported by QB projects I can see where maintaining a substantial QB site would pale as other projects come along. I've found a few but they seem rather fragmented, dealing with some one aspect of QB programming - usually some graphics tidbit. There must be at least a few out there dealing with tutorial information beyond "how to code a loop" and such. Most of the QB sites I find are sort of hackish and primitive, and links pages point mostly to dead sites. Surely some QB games are Internet-enabled? Where is that web site running under MSDOS on a web server written in QB/QuickBasic/VBDOS? Surely somebody's done this?
The games seem to be single-player RPGs or shoot-em-ups. In general the stuff other programmers seem to be writing.Internet programs: chat, web, mail, misc.Simple BBS and terminal serial port programs.I wonder though how most people make use of this family of development tools for MSDOS, meaning QB through VBDOS.ĭo most people use it under one version of Windows or another? Are people still running a lot of DOS machines? Is dual-booting back into DOS still popular? Is it important to create QB programs that run under Windows, or are native-DOS programs that fail under Windows still accepted?
As a long-time but unsophisticated user of QBasic I continue to be surprised by it's lingering popularity.
