===== Information for Users ("READ-ME") ================
ROSEWOOD QUICKBASIC STUFF v 3 consists of two programs which can be
incorporated into programs written in QuickBasic 4.xx or QBasic which is
supplied with MS DOS 5 and 6. Libraries or commands such as CALL
INTERRUPT not used in QBasic are not needed with this code.
There are two distinct parts of the program:
The first is an input editor which will replace the commands "INPUT",
"LINE INPUT", etc. with an input routine written with INKEY$ as the
input. INKEY$ allows much nicer inputting, especially if you have several
inputs to process in succession. This editor can be set up to accept
various types of input and to block other types. This will greatly reduce
the amount of error checking which is associated with the usual input
functions. Some parts of this program may look ancient with its IF..ENDs
and GOTOs. However, I like to have the ability to cascade through the
editor. See how scan% = 8 becomes scan% = 83 in the backspace command
area. The program could be written using only DO..LOOP, SELECT CASE etc.
but I doubt that it would make the program work better. It would be
prettier though. The editor is very loosely based on a program from the
magazine, PC RESOURCES, October 1987, pg. 61
The second part of the code is a simple window program. Windows of any
size or colour, with or without a border, can be placed anywhere on the
screen with text justified left, centre and right, and then wiped off so
that the original screen below is restored. The speed in drawing and
erasing these windows is not as great as windows using registers and CALL
ABSOLUTE, but it is adequate for most purposes.
There are two window routines, WindowSub and WindowSub2. The first makes
use of code pages using PCOPY and the second stores the window
information in arrays. The first is faster and easier to use but may not
be supported by all computers.
