If you run into trouble with ADVBAS, please read the Operation Notes
at the beginning of the ADVBAS.DOC manual. Remember to declare any
numeric variables used with ADVBAS routines as integers!
See the file WARNING.TXT for information about bugs in QuickBASIC
version 3.0 - 4.0 which affect ADVBAS users. This is particularly
important with QB4, which is both buggy and somewhat incompatible
with previous versions of the QuickBASIC compiler.
ADVBAS comes with a complete set of object files for its routines.
This allows you to create your own libraries for QuickBASIC. A set
of libraries is already built, for your convenience. Contributors
will find them stored in LIBRARY.ARC to reduce space requirements.
Type ARCE LIBRARY on a disk with ARCE.COM, LIBRARY.ARC, and at least
80K of free space to remove the libraries from the archive.
For QuickBASIC 2.0 - 3.0, you can create a library compatible with
the programming environment by using the BUILDLIB utility provided
with QuickBASIC. In order to create the library, use the command
"BUILDLIB <ADVBAS.QB". This will create the library ADVBAS.EXE from
the object files. You may edit ADVBAS.QB to include your own
routines to create a customized ADVBAS.EXE.
For QuickBASIC 4.0, you can create a library compatible with the
programming environment by using the LINK utility provided with
QuickBASIC. Use the command "LINK <ADVBAS.QB4". Note that you must
have the library BQLB40.LIB (which comes with QuickBASIC 4.0) in your
current drive/directory, or on the path specified by the DOS
environment variable "LIB". This will create the library ADVBAS.QLB
from the object files. You may edit ADVBAS.QB4 to include your own
routines if you wish to create a customized ADVBAS.QLB.
For compiling with any version of QuickBASIC from the command line,
you can create a library by using the LIB utility provided with many
of Microsoft's languages, including QuickBASIC 4.0. Use the command
"LIB <ADVBAS.BS" to create the library. Use a disk which does not
already contain ADVBAS.LIB.
The ADVBAS object files have been grouped in an archive, OBJECT.ARC,
in order to reduce space requirements. If you got ADVBAS from a BBS,
just unARC this file the way you normally would.
Contributors unfamilar with archives should use the enclosed ARCE
utility to access the archive files. The object code can be accessed
using the command "ARCE OBJECT", and the source code by "ARCE SOURCE".
My thanks to Vern Buerg, an author of ARCE, for his permission to
include this handy utility with the ADVBAS disk.

NOTICE!
The object files are included for your convenience in creating your
own customized version of ADVBAS. Such libraries are for your own
personal use only. You may not distribute modified libraries to the
general public! Such distribution is in violation of my copyright,
and I will not be amused.
