SL-> a number of programs published recently in the QuickBASIC echo on how SL-> to convert some graphic formats to BSAVE/BLOAD for use in BASIC The whole problem is I need an example for BLOAD/BSAVE on how to link it into the code and call it whenever I wish. Power Basic, of course! I know how to do it with QuickBasic, already! Someone out there, this can't be that complicated... how do I link a screen saved with (whatever) format using TheDraw for example right into the code, and call it whenever I want? -James --- QuickBBS 2.80 GoldBase (Zeta-1) * Origin: AD Message BBS: #1 Rated - 10th Year - (703) 998-(1:109/611@FIDONET) --------------- FIDO MESSAGE AREA==> TOPIC: 214 POWER BASIC Ref: CB500005 Date: 07/03/95 From: STEVE MCCRYSTAL Time: 05:43pm \/To: DAVE NAVARRO (Read 3 times) Subj: Building Declares 1/2 ; In a msg of , Dave Navarro writes to All: ; Dave, DN> 'MKDEC.BAS DN> 'by Dave Navarro, Jr. [...] DN> IF V$="!"

Is it true (from what I see from the PB help screen) that "C" libraries can be integrated cleanly into PB? I think this has something to do with the $link and $alias commands... but just to summ up, how about linking in the standard C procedure PUTSCREEN (x,y,x1,y1,array) for example? What precautions and guidelines should I follow if this is permissable? I will declare all procedures, naturally, before execution. -James --- QuickBBS 2.80 GoldBase (Zeta-1) * Origin: AD Message BBS: #1 Rated - 10th Year - (703) 998-(1:109/611@FIDONET) --------------- FIDO MESSAGE AREA==> TOPIC: 214 POWER BASIC Ref: CBC00000 Date: 07/06/95 From: DANIEL STASINSKI Time: 09:55am \/To: GARY STOUT (Read 3 times) Subj: PB/VISION PRO v2.0 -> I saw something indicating PB/Vision 2.0 - Has this been released -> yet and if so, will there be a upgrade price for registered users of -> PB/Vision 1.12. The new version of PB/VISION PRO is going to include a full (large file) word processor module, grid control, 450+ fonts, and a lot more. The upgrade price will be $39. It has not yet been released. When v2.0 is released, the retail price will go up to $129 (from the current $79). Taking advantage of the current special offer of $49.95 and the coming $39 upgrade, you will still save about $40 off of the pending higher retail price. Daniel at DSE --- DSE Online!
