It's "pretty much" the same, except you're missing a compiler to create .exe
files. QBasic programs should compile in QuickBASIC with no changes.  Someone
with more knowledge of QuickBASIC will need to fill in the details as I've
not much experience with QuickBasic (most of my development work is in VB).

As for purchasing QuickBasic you might wish to wait till "VB DOS" is out
(very shortly???).  If VB DOS has 1/2 the video mode & mouse support that
VB has access to it would be an improvement (just my opinion- no flames
please!)...  It will be interesting to see how they do this as VB gets most
of this support "built-in" from Windows anyway.

Has anyone heard rumors about VB 2.0?  Will this include VB DOS??
On my wish list for VB 2.0:  256 color support, multilevel list boxes,
a REAL debugger (something with a "watch" window), do away with having
to include the runtime dll...

Well, I upgraded to Basic PDS 7.1 about 4 months ago.  I haven't
used the product that much, but it seems to me that it doesn't
give a lot of bang for the buck unless you've never used windows
before and have no experience with structured programs.  Microsoft 
appears to be using the same old ploy of putting out as many products 
as possible (cf. OS/2 vs. Windows).  The features in v. 7.1 were too 
little too late.  
  
   This stuff in the VB press release about aiding developers who want 
to make the DOS/Windows transition is a bunch of you-know-what.  
I fully expect that VB for DOS will be crippled somehow to avoid 
competition with VB for Windows.  I guess I'll just switch over to 
something else.

  Before you buy, I suggest you look into True Basic.  I believe they
have a translation program to convert code to and from Quick Basic, but
I'm not sure. If you are interested, I will send you the contacts.

How does QuickBASIC (or Visual BASIC for DOS now, I guess) compare to, say, Turbo
C or Turbo Pascal in terms of execution speed?  I'm just curious if anyone has done
any comparisions (I realize there is more to life than execution speed, BTW).

I have several programs where I simply BLOAD a VGA file, then do several

and rather than spend any more time and money, I would like to be able
to turn the VGA "off" run my BLOAD and GETs and turn the VGA back "on."
This would make the program look quite a bit more professional with
minimum effort.  I've seen some in-line assem code for C++ that does
just this for a few animation programs, but I would prefer some simply
QB4.5 option if at all possible.

There are some options for the GWBASIC/BASICA command line dealing

There seems to be some serious confusion about what Visual Basic for MS-DOS
is and what it's capabilities are. It is not a DOS-based solution to writing
Microsoft Windows programs. Most programs developed with VB/DOS are character-
mode applications that look essentially like VB/DOS itself, in that they
can have windows, menus, mouse-support, etc. The model for VB/DOS is much
like that of VB/Win except that they are for development in different
environments. That means that code you write in VB/DOS can be easily ported
to VB/Win and vice versa. Of course, one advantage VB/DOS has over VB/Win
is that it still has all the DOS interrupt access that BC 7.1 had so you
can muck around with the system all you want. And you can write graphics-mode
program in VB/DOS but they certainly will not look or act like real Microsoft
Windows applications.

Just wanted to make the distinction clear.

The "Swordtail" is Xiphophorus helleri.

It's impossible to give you the "Tetra"'s name.  There are hundreds
of species of tetras from tiny Neons to Pakus, piranhas and so on,
collected into many tens of families.

REFRESHER:
----------
1) alt.fishing is not available to everyone since MANY organzations do a
blanket rejection, i.e. they don't subscribe to *any*, of all alt.*
newsgroups.

2) Many people complained that they would like to take part in the fishing
discussions...worldwide.

3) I started rec.outdoors.fishing under the rec.* hierarchy because nearly
everyone at every organization gets the rec.* hierarchy of newsgroups.

4) rec.outdoors.fishing is designed to be a direct replacement, i.e. absolutely
no changes other than name, for alt.fishing.

5) alt.fishing is, by popular demand and vote, to be left alone and unused,
thereby resulting in rec.outdoors.fishing being the primary fishing
discussion newsgroup.  This has been very successful, since alt.fishing
now receives less than 1% of the posts that rec.outdoors.fishing gets,
and these posts have been mostly cross-postings to both groups (highly
discouraged).

If you haven't yet, why not join us in rec.outdoors.fishing?  That's
where the action is!  Just 'g'o to rec.outdoors.fishing, or 'sub'scribe
to it, and start reading and posting!  If, for whatever reason, you are
unable to find it or subscribe to it, contact your sysadmin for help.
Some organizations have new group creation turned off.  So far, people
in this boat have had no trouble convincing them in turning it back on
just long enough to get rec.outdoors.fishing subscribed to at there site.
See you there!

Hi all,

Does anyone in ths group watch _Style with Elsa Klensch_ on CNN Sturday 
morning?  I try to whenever I get the chance which is not as often as I'd 
like.

Anyway, this past weekend, she featured, among others, Isaac Mizrachi 
(sp?).  I was VERY interested in his evening dresses made from, of all 
things, sweatshirt fabric!  They were very nice looking and reminded me 
that one of the outrageous things that Coco Channel did (in the 20's, I 
think) was make dresses from jersey, which up to that time was only used 
for undergarments so it was about on a par with these Mitzrachi gowns.

I really enjoy Klensch's show except that I'd love to see clothing on 
slightly heavier women (read nearer to the median that the thin extreme.  
It is so hard to determine how something will look on an average figure.  
Maybe it is possible to wear long skirts on not-so-long figures, but who 
would know?  Perhaps we could all write to her and ask her to do a regular 
feature on what is being designed for the plus figure.  I know there is 
stuff; I read about it in BBW magazine. (BTW, does anyone know the address 
for Radience, the other biggies' magazine?

Has anyone been following Cathy (by Cathy Guisewight) on the subject of the 
fall fashions.  She has had some great ones on these new long skirts.

Please try to ignore the postings from alt.talk.bizarre, etc., other than 
to e-mail them a note explaining the purpose of alt.fashion.  It seemed 
that this one guy had the wrong idea.

P.S. I get no commercial benefit from Klensch or Cathy, I just enjoy 
watching/reading them.
