Google is your friend. First link on HIEW search goes to http://www.serje.net/sen/ also http://webhost.kemtel.ru/~sen/ which both allow downloading 6.11 as the "LATEST FREE version". It can be downloaded, since I just tried it. There is also a different e-mail address than the one you used

[Freedos-user] Sorry about HTML. About QuickBASIC

2004-02-20 Thread Lucas Pedrosa
Yes! QuickBasic was born in version 1.0, of course and reached version 4.5. Later, I don't know what happened and one day there appeared versions 7.0 and 7.1 which are called QBX (BC70 or BC71, also Microsoft Basic). Before these last ones, I think, MS developed the QBASIC, which is QB 4.5, but

Hi, question already answered... I have been looking for the VESA VM/GTF Generalized Timing Formula and DMT timing lists. While not checking for the latter in detail, I found some nice pages about the former: http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/docs/HOWTO/XFree86-Video-Timings-HOWTO On how to calcul

Eric,      I forgot to tell you that, even when my AWE64 does not work (i.e.: synth) under FreeDOS, it does very well under MS-DOS. Of course, no driver loaded in any of them, only the initialization PnP program. Another problem I've had in FreeDOS is that for some reason, my old QuickBASIC does no

2004-02-20 Thread Eric Auer
Hi Lucas, you do not really want to know about VCPI :-). VCPI is a lowlevel interface which allows to share protected mode among several hosts (EMM386 is one, but our EMM386 does not allow sharing). If your program is the only protected mode program, no VCPI is available. DOS Extenders usually onl

Hi, people!      I like programming a lot of stuff since long ago, but I think I never took it as seriously as now. For example, right now I'm having a problem: I want to program a game for DOS, a neoclassic, but I want it to use SVGA (using VESA) and a doublebuffer. The problem is that a doublebuf
