Hi to everyone,
I am new to QB64PE but have used a previous version of QB64 and Inform before. Over the decades I also have used QB45 for many projects.
I am retired now and am investigating the suitability of QB64PE and Inform-PE for a hobby project. I would like to find out the following.
Coms Port: Is it possible to communicate via a serial coms port? The old QB45 required a coms port on the mother boards. New computers do not have serial coms ports anymore. Would a USB based coms port adapter work with QB64PE? Code examples are very appreciated.
The version of Inform, which I used before only allowed to set up one window. For my hobby project, I would need several windows. Can the latest version of Inform do more than one window? If not then I would like to exchange data between the programs of several windows either via files on the HDD or a RAM disk. Any reply and advice on this topic is greatly appreciated.
Best Regards
Willi
