QB Reference is a DA and has been supplied in two forms. One is for System 6 or earlier and is a minimum sized version with full functionality. Install it using Font/DA Mover. The second is for System 7, which does not require a DA suitcase and comes with the pretty color icons. Put this one directly into the System 7 Apple Items folder in the System Folder.
QuickBASIC owners have know that when QB suffers an error, an error message appears with the error number and the line number of the source code that the error can be found. All you needed to do was race to the manual and dig up the meaning of the code. The same goes for trying to remember Window types, System() definitions, etc. Well, no more!
QB Reference is a Freeware DA that you can call up from any program to get the proper QuickBASIC reference information. It is compatible with any Mac from a Plus thru a PowerPC 8100. You will get everything you need on Errors, Windows, Dialog(), Mouse(), edit field types, Button(), System(), GetFontInfo, Textface, Textmode, Penmode, memory FRE() and full definition of variable types, limits, capacity, etc.
For you convenience, a companion QB Reference 1.0 Text document is provided which contains the text portion of the DA. You are free to cut and paste that information anywhere you wish. Special thanks to James H. Moore, Jr. for his freeware utility "Create TextDA".
Should you find any mistakes or would like to make any additions, use a copy of the QB Reference Text to make those changes and zap me a copy to my email address. Again, the price is free as all of the information is free from within the QB manual. Enjoy and may the Lord bless you.
