[Freedos-devel] Multi user system

2015-01-23 Thread JAYDEN CHARBONNEAU
Unfortunately,to my dismay,I found out today while programming the multi-user system that QBASIC (yes,I program in QBASIC) doesn't support creating interrupt vectors.Due to that fact,I cannot finish programming the muti-user system.I apologize for this setback,but it could not be helped.However,the

The source appears to be a few lines of QuickBasic. It's basically: * read a password string from file * ask user for the password * if password matches, quit * otherwise, loop I am not sure it's really useful for now, since it can be bypassed using CTRL+C and/or CTRL+break. Also, it

Actually, I'm fairly certain qb does allow interrupts to be called. It requires use of an include (can't remember which one off hand), but all you do is configure the interrupt call, then call the subroutine in the include, and poof, generated interrupt. I'm not a user of quickbasic, I always u

No worries, I still use QBASIC to this day when I have a little algorithm which needs testing or some little utility program which needs made. QBASIC *can* change interrupt vectors, but it requires you to load the interrupt library (QB.QLB I believe?) first. To actually change the interrupt vector

Yah, freebasic should do the job quite nicely. Although, I've not tried using the dos version of it, I do like the linux version. I'd use it on windows too, except that my windows programming is done with delphi or powerbasic, both of which are excellent products, only one of which is still be
