- QBPacket is a simple collection of the programs that I have written
- from August 1991 to April 1992. There are nine programs in this collection.
- No special hardware is needed to run them, except a speaker, and no special
- software, either, except for MS-DOS QBASIC, which comes with MS-DOS 5.0.
- If you are missing one or more of the following files, then you have
- downloaded an incomplete copy! So make sure you have all nine of these BASIC
- programs:
-
- MUSIC.BAS..........Plays music on your PC speaker (22 songs)
- FRACTALS.BAS.......Draws fractals on your CGA or EGA screen
- NETPAY.BAS.........Figures out net pay per week
- BASES.BAS..........Converts decimal to hex, oct, bin, and back
- EXPENSE2.BAS.......Figures out expenses (v. 2)
- PRIME2.BAS.........Tells if a number is prime or not (v. 2)
- ARITHMET.BAS.......Performs arithmetic - do homework easy!
- METRIC.BAS.........Coverts US format to Metric system
- LOAN2.BAS..........Figures out monthly payments (v. 2)
-
- To run any of these programs type at the dos prompt:
-
- QBASIC /RUN <filename.ext>
-
- To see the listing of a particular program, type at the dos prompt
- the command above, except leave out the /RUN switch. For example, type
-
- QBASIC /RUN FRACTALS.BAS
-
- to run Fractals, or
-
- QBASIC FRACTALS.BAS
-
- to see the listing for Fractals.
-
- Now here comes the part you've all been waiting for: if you like my
- programs enough to send a contribution (fat chance of that, but what the
- heck?), YOU DON'T HAVE TO BOTHER! However, if you send me money anyway, I
- won't return it (grin). You are also entitled to send me questions, comments,
- complaints (of bugs or whatever), and suggestions to me at:
-
- Ian D. Moss
- 14 Hosmer St.
- Watertown, MA 02172
-
- Thank you for downloading my programs.
