to access Long File Names available under Win9x without needing to know what the DOS8.3 name looks like. They're easy to use, and simple enough so you can upgrade existing code without any trouble. Ok, maybe a little trouble because you do have to go through your code and replace all your OPEN statements with a function call. And if you decide to use LFN-QBasic's automatic FREEFILE action, you have to adjust for that as well. I should point out that the package is not limited to QBasic except by the fact that it's in that format, using no line numbers and having function calls. With a little work, it can be adapted to to any basic implementation. Special requirements: None. Changes: Bug fixed. lfnbas02.zip has replaced lfnbas01.zip. Public Domain. Uploaded by the author.

QBE is a DOS executable which facilitates quickly locating the source line(s) which caused Microsoft QuickBASIC 4.5 run-time or compilation error messages to occur. QuickBasic 4.5 developers understand the need for and will be most appreciative of this development tool. QBE is intended for QuickBasic 4.5 developers who use the edit-compile- link-and-test technique for debugging QuickBASIC 4.5 programs. Many programmers stay away from the QuickBASIC 'environment' (the term often used for the QuickBASIC interpreter/debugger) as it reformats (tokenizes) your source and has limitations and undesirable behavioral and limitation differences from compiled programs. The QBE program inputs .LST files created when the QuickBASIC compile line parameter specified a listing file should be created and that listing file is accessible when the run-time (or compilation error) occurs and followed by a QBE launch. The QBE command line can specify the module and address of the run-time error or QBE can be directed to read the video screen to find the module and address automatically. The QBE results are provided in a flexible source browser which can look at .LST any other ASCII source files. Special requirements: DOS 5.0 (or later) with a VGA (or better) display monitor and Microsoft QuickBASIC 4.5 compiler. Shareware. Uploaded by the author.

FontType v1.0 is a utility that allows QBASIC developers to create custom fonts for use in their programs. To make a new font, specify the range of ASCII characters you want, then point and click to build each character. FontType comes with online help, a sample font (italics.fnt), and a sample program 'template' that will start you on your way to using fonts in your own programs.
