A Special Offer
from Ethan Winer and Crescent Software
As thanks for buying this book, Ethan Winer and Crescent Software are
pleased to offer a special fifteen percent (15%) discount off the normal
prices listed below for software purchased using this coupon. Either mail
your order along with prepayment, or phone using VISA or Master Card. All
products work with QuickBASIC 4.0 or later, BASIC 7 PDS, and VB/DOS, and
come with fully commented BASIC and assembler source code. No royalties
are ever required when routines are added to your .EXE program, and free
technical support is included. Crescent also offers products for Visual
Basic for Windows. Please call us at 800-35-BASIC for a complete catalog.
(Call 203-438-5300 in Connecticut or outside the US; Fax: 203-431-4626).
QuickPak Professional ($199) is a general purpose toolbox featuring more
than 480 routines, 120 example programs, and an extensive manual. Included
are routines for windowing, file and array searching and sorting, pull-down
and scrollable menus, input routines, text editors with integrated mouse
support, and mathematical functions. Also included are string and array
manipulation, EMS/XMS data storage, very fast file I/O, pop-up utilities,
file and directory browsing, a complex expression evaluator, and much more.
Quick Screen ($149) designs any kind of text screen, including data-entry
forms, help messages, and attractive logo screens. It supports 17 field
types with full range validation, field calculations, and built-in mouse
support. Save screens individually, or compress and combine them into one
file to save space and memory. Screens may also be saved as object (.OBJ)
files, and linked with your programs to avoid additional files at runtime.
Many BASIC example programs are included, including an interface to AJS
Publishing's popular db/LIB add-on library.
Graphics QuickScreen ($149) is similar to QuickScreen (above), but it works
in the EGA and VGA graphics mode. Besides the QuickScreen data types for
field input, GQS also makes it easy to create sliders and pushbuttons that
look just like those used by Windows programs.
P.D.Q. ($149) lets you write programs in BASIC that are smaller and more
efficient than any high-level language including C. It replaces the default
BASIC link libraries, and also lets you easily create TSR programs and even
real-time interrupt handlers. Real programs that perform useful tasks can be
written in less than 2K! Examples include a TSR screen capture program,
work-alike copies of Norton Utilities programs, a pop-up calculator, and
dozens more. P.D.Q. won Byte Magazine's Users Choice Award for Language of
the Year. P.D.Q. does not provide communications (see PDQComm below), and
there are some restrictions on graphics and floating point math.
PDQComm ($99) adds communications support to P.D.Q., and is also ideal for
use with QuickBASIC and PDS. It offers many features not available in
regular BASIC, such as XModem, YModem, and ASCII file transfers, windowed
terminal emulations, 115.2k bps operation, parameter changes while the COM
ports are open, and more. Numerous examples are included, and a complete
tutorial explains modems and communications concepts.
GraphPak Professional ($149) lets you add presentation quality 3-D graphs
and charts to your programs. Many graph types are provided, including bar,
pie, line, and hi-low-close financial charts. GraphPak also offers log and
semi-log graphs, surface plots, scalable text, and accommodates all of the
BASIC-supported video modes automatically. Graphs may be sized, and
positioned anywhere on the screen.
The Graphics Workshop ($149) is for EGA and VGA displays, and it features
low-level graphics primitives that are much smaller and faster than those
in BASIC. It also includes pulldown and vertical menus, input routines,
and saving and loading images in the popular .PCX format. Other features
include many video special effects, plus a unique subroutine for sending
graphics screens to Epson/IBM dot matrix and LaserJet printers.
QuickPak Scientific ($149) adds sophisticated numerical methods to your
programs, and includes routines for solving linear algebra, differential
equations, curve fitting, and complex numbers. Also included are routines
for statistics, vectors, matrices, integration and differentiation, fast
Fourier transforms, non-linear equations, and more.
LaserPak ($149) lets you create laser printer graphics, design logos and
custom hatching patterns, download and manage fonts, and control fully all
aspects of a LaserJet or compatible printer. The routines in LaserPak are
modeled after BASIC's graphics commands, it also includes primitives for
drawing circles, boxes, lines with any line width, fill patterns, and more.
Don Malin's XREF ($59) is a sophisticated cross-reference utility that can
document an entire application. It lists all variables, arrays, constants,
and procedures alphabetically by type and scope, even across separate source
modules. A unique call-tree report identifies your procedures showing who
calls what, which routines are present but never accessed, and more.
