: [Freedos-devel] Multi user system 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

I thank you for your feedback.Your concern for the CTRL+BREAK isn't a problem.The QBASIC compiler I used allows you to choose whether or not to add in breaks (I took out the CTRL+BREAK function).I just thought a nice,simple LOCK program would be helpful.As for switching to C or C++,I'm brand

It's a variation of the Caesar cypher, hence I think one can call it 'encryption'. Whether it's useful for any remotely serious usage is another story :) Mateusz On 01/24/2015 04:54 PM, Tom Ehlert wrote: I thank you for your feedback.Your concern for the CTRL+BREAK isn't a problem.The

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

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

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,
