Many years ago, I wrote some BASIC code to assist me in putting together
a "ONE NAME" study as part of our genealogical activity. Recently, my
trusty Aurora/SGC/QuBide set-ups have been letting me down and I have
been advised (as a precaution) to transfer all the programs and data
across to QPC2 on my PC. For various reasons, the original BASIC
programs are returning various error reports (most of which are the
results of not thoroughly thinking the job through whilst writing the
code) so I am revisiting the programs from scratch - Thank goodness for
all the REM Statements!! :-)
The BOOT not only loads various toolkits and sets up some hotkeys etc
and then goes on to layout what I have called a "GENERAL MENU SCREEN
which offers various choices for the rest of the program. This screen, I
use over and over again at various stages in the program and consists of
various WINDOW statements with BORDER, PAPER, INK, CSIZE parameters
being set. I finish up with the whole of the 512x256 available screen
being split up by 2 pixel wide BORDERS. This routine runs perfectly on
my Aurora/SGC set-ups in either QDOS - JS Roms - or SMSQ but when I run
the same boot in QPC2 v3.34 beta 3, I tend to lose the top and both side
borders completely and just have various horizontal lines across the screen.
My PC is running WINDOWS VISTA home premium with service pack 2.
Can anyone suggest what may be happening and offer any advice on how to
cure this problem?
I can post the listing if anyone wants to try it out.
cheers,
John Gilpin.
