- 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.
-
- 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.
