- If you have found the QuickBASIC Wizard's Libraries to be of use, you may
- also be interested in more general-purpose libraries.
-
- The Advanced BASIC Library is available for free from your local BBS. I do
- not ask for any registration fee for ADVBAS. The latest version,
- ADVBAS9A.ZIP, is available on many BBSes across the nation. A new version,
- ADVBAS9B.ZIP, will be available in the near future. The ADVBAS library is
- written entirely in assembly language and provides any version of QuickBASIC
- with a variety of new features. Pop-up windows, advanced communications
- support, equipment detection, handy string routines, quick direct video
- control, and much more is provided by ADVBAS.
-
- An even more powerful set of utilities is the ProBas library and associated
- toolkits. ProBas is the commercial version of the ADVBAS library. It
- contains powerful pop-up routines, lightning-fast graphics support
- (including EGA and VGA sprites, windows, PC Paintbrush file handling),
- routines to read ARC and ZIP files, virtual screens, zippy sorting, EMS and
- extended memory handling, and hundreds of other capabilities. Excellent
- printed documentation (two 500-page manuals: tutorial and reference) is
- provided. Add-on toolkits provide b-tree file handling, menus (pop-up,
- pull-down, ring, etc), a complete set of telecommunications services
- (dialer, file transfers [Xmodem/Ymodem], script language, etc), HyperHelp
- online documentation, screen design, and just about everything else!
-
- ProBas is available from Hammerly Computer Services, Inc. To obtain more
- information or to order, call 1-800-343-7484 (voice), or try their BBS at
- 1-301-953-7738 (Maryland).
