-> In this respect, VB is more like the older, traditional forms of Basic
-> customarily discussed in this newsgroup.
Talking about older BASICs, I have made an observation...
A while ago, I posted here a QBasic program I had written that
calculates the position of the sun in the sky as seen from anywhere on
Earth at any time on any date, and also the required alignment of a
mirror if it is to reflect sunlight in any desired direction. I also
posted (and several people here tested for me) a "dumbed-down" version
that would run in ancient BASICs such as GW-BASIC, and also in some
recent implementations that are compatible with old BASICs. This
version of the program even has line numbers!
I also posted the same two versions on a couple of websites that are
concerned with solar energy. These sites keep count of the number of
times each posting is accessed, so I can see how many times each of the
two versions has been read. Possibly, some of these times, the program
has been copied and maybe put to use.

I've just started using FreeBasic, and I have a bunch of problems,
questions and annoyances.
Is this newsgroup the best place for questions about FreeBasic, or is
there another one? Either on Usenet or on some specialized NNTP server,
since I'd *really* like to avoid having to use a WWW-based forum.

Hi! I am an extremely advanced user at programming inside of MS Excel
using VBA.. I am very comfortable and confindent at what I can do with
Excel and VBA -- however I would like to cross this bridge of calling
*.xls programs -- to being actual *.exe programs.
Does anyone have any good sources for information on how to
transistsion from using Excel as a database into using VB? I know SQL
and databases -- just don't understand how to build internal databases
with VB and have it refrence that data -- like say I could inside of
Excel...
UserForm1.TextBox1.Value = Sheets("Sheet1").Range("A2").Value
Range A2 Value =Vlookup(A1, Sheet1!A:IV, 2, False)
If I can learn how to basically VBA Vlookup "formula" inside of VB I'd
be in good shape to learn other things
-- as this was the foundation I
started with Excel.
Any help is going to be tremendous!! Thanks!

I have over a hundred different versions of BASIC but
I'm still looking for a DOS or Windows version that can be
operated totally from the serial port of a PC. I know
the command line
GWBASIC com1:
*should* work but you can't see the line you're typing
until you hit return, INPUT stops at the first character
typed and there are other quirks as well. I'm looking
for a BASIC (or a DOS-based emulator of an earlier
system with BASIC) that only uses BIOS or DOS I/O calls.
That way, I can use the CTTY command to run the
computer from a real teletype and have BASIC, too.
Thanks for any leads you may have!
