GIZLIB Error List
The following constitutes known errors and bugs found in GIZLIB _OR_
in QuickBASIC 3.0 itself. If there is a solution or workaround, it too
is given, if the problem is resolved, it will be so listed in the
HISTORY.LST, and not here.
If you find a bug (heaven forbid) in GIZLIB, please let me
know either by EMAIL via the Information Booth BBS, (316) 684 8744
or mail via
InfoSoft
PO BOX 782057
Wichita, Kansas
67278-2057
Please include sample source code for the program where the bug
manifests itself, or there is no way that I can be sure that either you
are executing the call correctly or that something else is causing the
conflict.
The same phone or address can be used to suggest new routines for
future versions of GIZLIB.
Finally, in my rush to release GIZLIB, I neglected to consider upgrade
cost for past contributors. This is being re-thought and will be
different for GIZLIB 1.1 but should be the same for all future
versions.
Version 1.0
-----------
Routine: n/a Type: Compiler
Problem: When compiled to a BCOM (.EXE) file a program making a
call to an ASM based routine might hang the machine at
runtime. It will run okay under the environment though.
Cause: This is a peculiarity with QB 3.0, as many ASM based calls
do this under 3.0 and not 2.x.
Solution: There is a simple solution:
DO NOT, repeat, DO NOT compile to BCOM format from INSIDE
the QB environment, but from the command line:
C>QB <myprog.bas> /O ;
Your program may require additional switches, but SURELY,
when creating BCOM30 type files compile from the DOS
command line and NOT from within QB.
Status: MicroSoft has been notified by me.
Routine: CMDLINE Type: Documentation
Problem: The documentation states that Q will return the actual
number of arguments passed. This is not correct since
the routine does not know what OPTION BASE is active.
Q is solely used to indicate to CMDLINE the offset in
the array to store the first argument.
