https://github.com/microsoft/GW-BASIC It seems like about 10 years ago somebody had a thread where MS had released source code to MS-DOS, but I can't seem to find it now. I suppose if they'd released this last year somebody could have used it to make something better than MS apps, but now they think it's safe They all watch too much MSNBC... they get ideas. |

Trying to read through this much assembly hurts my head. I don't know how they used to do it (albeit, this took months to accomplish, and is outside my wheelhouse). -- acc.js | al4anim - Allegro 4 Animation library | Allegro 5 VS/NuGet Guide | Allegro.cc Mockup | Allegro.cc <code> Tag | Allegro 4 Timer Example (w/ Semaphores) | Allegro 5 "Winpkg" (MSVC readme) | Bambot | Blog | C++ STL Container Flowchart | Castopulence Software | Check Return Values | Derail? | Is This A Discussion?

Are you by any chance Klys in the chat? @bamccaig , usage is similar to C64 BASIC, I think I remember that the way the code is stored in memory and executed is also the same. πππ π BlackRook WebSite (Only valid from my installer) π C/C++ π GNU/Linux π IceCream/Cornet π πππ Rm Beer for Emperor 2021!

I've got an 8086 with a blown monitor. I've got an i286 that won't post. I've got a lappie that won't get past ultra fail safe shit. Can I get a USB adapter for a 5 1/4 drive? I doubt they even made such a thing. My Website! | EAGLE GUI Library Demos | My Deviant Art Gallery | Spiraloid Preview | A4 FontMaker | Skyline!

I have this in the attic: {"name":"bondwell162.jpg","src":"\/\/djungxnpq2nug.cloudfront.net\/image\/cache\/e\/4\/e420c95cefa7574495733adc8bf3e024.jpg","w":508,"h":436,"tn":"\/\/djungxnpq2nug.cloudfront.net\/image\/cache\/e\/4\/e420c95cefa7574495733adc8bf3e024"} I haven't tried it in 20 years. I toasted some components because of a non standard serial cable. I blew the great 8 bit sound system, which was sad, because it had a funny speech synthesizer. I think it had some MBASIC interpreter. But most of all it had a great assembler for Z80, which was very cool. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Years of thorough research have revealed that what people find beautiful about the Mandelbrot set is not the set itself, but all the rest. |

GW-BASIC was one of the first languages I ever programmed in. Strangely enough, one of the first things I tried to do was create a game loop. -- |
