this looks awesome, but the link to x11.bi is bad!! DJ Peters could you put it up again and give the new link? i really want to try this out.

here are some output examples: http://home.rubbermallet.org/beard.htm <---- me lol http://home.rubbermallet.org/alba3.html <----- hawt, but this is 6 MB and IE doesn't like it. firefox works great. PRINT "HTMLPIC v1.0 (c)2009 Mike Chambers" PRINT "http://www.rubbermallet.org&q...

DOS386, i meant target only. i don't really care what machine i'd be doing the programming on. you are right though, the 64 KB segment limit would pose major issues. another example of the type of software i like to write is the HTTP/SOCKS4a proxy i wrote in QB71 over the last couple days... i have ...

i know this isn't overly practical these days, but would there be interest from the developers or users for a 16-bit DOS (and maybe Windows 3.x) version of the FreeBASIC compiler? not sure how hard it would be to modify the compiler to handle this. i think it could be extremely useful for low-powere...

the only reason i didn't is that it's not really any sort of IRC-specific thing.

nobody has any advice on ths one? :(

i have an old 8088 computer and also a 286, and they got me thinking about what i could do with those (VERRRRRRRRRY) obsolete machines... <snip> when i run the program on my 8088 machine, i can log in and chat with a few people and it has only about 200 ms of lag between one client submitting data ...

i am looking into porting my DOS IRC server code to win32 and of course modify the TCP handling routines to work with winsock. i've had plenty of experience with socket apps in VB5 and VB6, but never gotten into it with freebasic. what would be the best/easiest way of going about this? keep in mind,...

you can always use the PDS command line compiler and use overlays which can let you have an exe up to 16 megs in zize using 64 overlays of a max of 256kb each. :). I wrote a tutorial on that once, but I don't think I published it anywhere because around that time na_th_an had one about it that aler...

did i mention the .BAS source file is already 200 KB long? lol. it's getting HUGE! i hope i don't run into problems from it getting too large. i'd hate to have to remove a feature like services. i don't have much more to do at this point, just need to write chanserv/operserv/memoserv to go with the ...

FB programs will not run on anything below a 386.... i know, i am writing this in QB 7.1 which works on pre-386 boxes. but i was going to port it to freebasic and make versions for windows and linux. i might just use the DOS compiler to make a more efficient piece of software than what QB spits out...

i have an old 8088 computer and also a 286, and they got me thinking about what i could do with those (VERRRRRRRRRY) obsolete machines... i've already written an IRC client for DOS, so i figured i should challenge myself to write an IRC server app for DOS as well. it don't really need it for anythin...

i've written some rudimentary multitasking code for QB 4.5, i'm not sure if it would work in FB. basically you need to load code into memory for each program, but here comes the tricky part... you gotta map virtual memory for each app so that they don't see each other. not only that, but you need to...

what would really be cool, is if i taped together 2 camcorders and took some video then converted that to a BMP image sequence then modding the code to make a 3D video :)

then i could put all the new BMPs back into one AVI file.
