This project is a culmination of many fun years
dedicated to writing QuickBASIC 4.5 code. I
started out writing simple programs in BASICA
and soon progressed to QuickBASIC 4.5 about
1985. I am completely self taught and
I thoroughly enjoy writing software
programs. About myself: My name is Don Smith and
I am a retired thirty-year teacher of Math/History/Spanish
residing in Orange County, California. I am also a former
six-year Sergeant of Marines. On some forums, I am
known as MarineDon. All programs here written
by me are public domain and freeware.
|
|
Ofttimes, I utilize three toolboxes from Full Moon Software, operated
by Ethan Winer. Their libraries are: QuickPak (PRO.Lib), PDQ (PDQ.Lib)
and QuickScreen (Forms.Lib). Their assembly-written libraries
makes for an extremely tight, executable program very close to
the tiny size and speed of an assembly language program. The Basic
programs listed below which are tagged with a red check mark ( √ ),
require one or more of these special libraries.
|
|
|
|
This section contains QuickBASIC 4.5 BAS code. If a number is in
italized blue, it is best to download its ZIP file in the
second section, where the archival ZIP files are found. If there is a red
check mark (√), compilation requires the
Pro.Lib or PDQ.Lib of Ethan Winer's Full Moon Software. See note above.
If you click on a .BAS file, you will be able to view it in your browser but you should not save it from there. Instead, at the top of the browser click "View" and "Page Source" and save it from your text editor which is probably Notepad. |
