Re: [Freedos-devel] Ideas

I'm confused. I thought *you* were proposing to write a FreeQB. Are you not? Sounds like you are instead asking others to write it for you? I can't write entire FreeQB now. But, I can create a repository on GitHub and GitLab for FreeQB. If people will help to me, I can write some code for F

Re: [Freedos-devel] Ideas

Sort of a simplified version of GNU bc, then? I think that would be really interesting. I hadn't used ACALC before, but looking it up online, it's a simple command line calculator: ACALC {expression} Where {expression} is add, subtract, multiply, divide, modulo .. and various functions like abs()

Re: [Freedos-devel] Ideas

To me, if there should be a FreeDOS calculator, it might be reasonable to copy the interface of ACALC from PC DOS 7, because PC DOS 7 is basically the next step past MS-DOS 6.22 (IMO). -uso. -- Check out the vibrant te

Re: [Freedos-devel] Ideas

I, for one, would personally love to see FreeQB. Even if it only converted BASIC to assembly and relied on NASM for compiling, it would be a welcome addition to the FreeDOS family. The language could even be extended with several features found in other BASICs, such as PowerBASIC. I bega
