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.
I use virtually the same boot on Aurora/SGC, Q40/60, SGC and QPC2
v3.34 beta 3 with Windows 98 and Windows XP. Any borders I have work
in the same way in all machines. I would have to see the actual code
to comment further.
