Subj : [--- ECHOS - Echo String ---] To : Outsider From : Winston Smith Date : Fri Mar 01 2002 03:36 am From: Winston.Smith@f120.n323.z1.cereal.mv.com (Winston Smith) Subject: [--- ECHOS - Echo String ---] That ECHOS command is fantastic! I can go: ECHOS print >myprog.bas ECHOS "Hello, World!" >>myprog.bas ECHOS ; >>myprog.bas QBASIC /RUN MYPROG.BAS ...and when I do a hex dump of the output there are no NULL bytes forming a compound join in the line, or anything! Awesome! P.S. Trivia bonus points if you can name the 1970's American Television Show that "Hello, World!" comes from.... Do you have any more gems like that? (Also, what was that warning about the AX Register? Can that problem sneak up on me and bite me in certain situations?) -- |Fidonet: Winston Smith 1:323/120 | | Origin: The Cereal Port BBS (603)899-3335 199.125.78.133 (1:132/152) --- # Origin: (1:132/152.4) * Origin: Baddog BBS (1:218/903) .
