echo The library contained on this disk is made to be used with MICROSOFT
echo QuickBASIC 4.5, and compatible compiled basics when compiling from DOS.
echo.
echo Since some of the routines use the interrupt routines in the QB.LIB
echo library provided by MICROSOFT with QuickBASIC 4.5, this library should
echo also be available to the linker.
echo.
echo User's of QBLIB #1 version 1.00 should carefully read the CHG.101 file as
echo several routines have been modified, and a whole block of screen routines
echo have been deleted and replaced with a new system. Relinking any old code
echo that contains those routines would cause either a failure at link time,
echo or bizarre activity in the program at run time.
echo.
echo Users of version 1.00 and 1.01 should note the fixes and additions detailed
echo in CHG.102. This in this version extensive conversion to integer values
echo was made, some parameters were changed, and several routines were deleted
echo from the library and replaced with more efficient ones.

echo PRINTING THE MANUAL
echo ═══════════════════
echo.
echo The file QB1.MAN is a user's manual for all library routines, and is
echo already formatted in plain ASCII for printing. To print out the manual
echo set your printer to 12 pitch type, and set the left marging to one inch.
echo Then, just dump the document to the printer either with the PRINT command,
echo or by using TYPE QB1.MAN redirected to PRN. You should have no problem
echo unless your printer does not use ASCII 12 for its top of form command as
echo all page breaks are marked by ASCII 12. If you only have 10 pitch type
echo available the manual will just fit on standard paper if you set the left
echo margin to 0. Also, the underscore in the manual is ASCII 205, so your
echo printer should be in a mode that handles eight bit characters.

echo All programs are made available for non-commercial use without fee or other
echo restriction, however, if used in commercial applications credit must be
echo given to WEST'S both in the documentation and any title messages that are
echo used in the programs. Use of any of the programs and routines is at the
echo user's own risk. West's removes glitches as they become evident, however,
echo no guarantee is given that some bug as yet undetected will not appear and
echo cause program or system malfunction.

echo Users who register their disk will be placed on WEST'S mailing list, will
echo get notified of future upgrades and releases of new programs, and will be

echo Owners of Tandy DMP2110 or DMP2100p or compatible printers may write for a
echo copy of PDM.EXE, a simple formatter for ASCII text that produces right
echo justified, proportionally spaced output that utilizes both expansion and
echo contraction of increment spacing to give very neat appearing printed out-
echo put. The cost is $5.00 to cover the disk, shipping and handling.

echo.
echo The files QB1.MAN and QB1.LST and QB1.INC were prepared using the program
echo LIBDOC which is available from WEST'S at the prices stated previously.
echo Purchase of the LIBDOC program includes registration and code for QBLIB #1
echo plus a command line utility MKDEC which makes DECLARE statements for
echo routines found in code files, and a command line utility IQB whichs
echo converts interpreted BASIC program files into a QuickBASIC style format.
echo.
echo LIBDOC is a must program for any QuickBASIC programmer who has a large
echo number of library routines to keep track of, as it simplifies the process
echo of making and updating INCLUDE files and indexed explanatory manuals for
echo these routines.
