Information file for:

  QB64SHELL - command line prompt shell windows program for QB64

Purpose:

  Provides a low level DOS-like command shell program similar to the one

  used by Windows CMD.EXE prompt. Tries to improve on most DOS functions,

  such as: DIR, COPY, DELETE, MKDIR, etc. Also supports standard I/O

  between commands and a full screen editor.

Installation:

  Copy the QB64shell archive to C:\QB64 and extract contents there.

  Load/Start or make .EXE then enter the shell at the command line.

  Since QB64shell starts with user profiles activated, enter SYSOP

  and PASSWORD to logon.

Files used:

  QB64shell attempts to create the folder QB64shell in the \program files

  group. The files in the folder are:

    filemenu.cfg  -  config data for the file menu box

    profiles.dat  -  user profiles data file

    qb64shell.cfg  -  current state of QB64shell after exit

  filename.cfg is written the first time QB64shell starts.

  profiles.dat is written with SYSOP the first time QB64shell starts.

  qb64shell.cfg is written every time the QB64shell exits and contains

  such variables as the windows coordinates, statusbar setting, etc.

  Any of these files may be safely deleted.

Compiling QB64shell:

  The following files are required to make the QB64shell.exe program:

    QB64shell.bas  --  main QB64shell code

    QB64shell.inc  --  the QB64shell include file

    QB64shell.ico  --  the QB64shell icon file

    QB64shell.new  --  new version list file

    QB64shell.txt  --  readme file

    Mem.h        --  memory and cpu usage include file

    THX_Sound_Effect.mp3  -  intro sound

      (only plays the first time QB64shell starts)

Author notes:

  Program is published 11/30/2022 and is public domain BASIC source code.

RE: The QB64 IDE shell - mnrvovrfc - 12-01-2022

Hi Erik. Thank you for this program and for the Erik's Dungeon.

RE: The QB64 IDE shell - Pete - 12-01-2022

I'll second that!

RE: The QB64 IDE shell - mnrvovrfc - 12-07-2022

I'm sorry to go off-topic a bit about which program. I need Turbo Assembler to be able to create "Erik's Dungeon". Forgot about that while going into Windows to use QB64PE 32-bit. Sadly the OBJ files from that program won't work in this case. The "gas" that comes with MinGW would inevitably require changes to your assembly source code. Maybe we might have to ask you to create the EXE file for MS-DOS, and provide it so we could run it on DOSBOX or something like that.

Ummmm... never mind. Made this post and then noticed the links were removed except for QB64 Shell.

The link to The Dungeon still remains at:

https://bit.ly/EriksDungeon

For Dngeon12.zip the following is:

   Note: Tasm 4.1 can be found on vetusware

   The Dungeon contains assembly to trap ctrl-break and can be removed from the source by deleting Call Setint/Call Restint.

   This program and source are completely 16-bit and won't load in QB64 because it contains arrays in UDTs..

For Dungeon_v12_QB64.zip it contains no assembly.

Attached is:

   Dngeon12.zip for VB10.
   Dungeon_v12_QB64.zip for QB64.

When I said I replaced the file menu box with a dialog box I am serious:

The file menu box never worked and after installing 45 lines of dialog box it literally replaced 6,000 lines of code
including all references to and from the file menu box.

Thus there were 150 lines of leftover unused code to delete..

Erik.
