Some questions:
1. As I mentioned in another thread, I wrote extensive QB programs Back in the 80s & 90s when RAM and HD space was at a premium. I used MKI$, MKS$ and MKD$ extensively in my databases.
Converting the programs using QB64 I noticed they, MKS$ etc., were not converting back properly with CVI, CVS, and CVD.
I found and tested CVSMBF and that seemed to work. Does that mean to continue accessing/using my existing databases with QB64 EXEs I must modify the syntax by adding MBF to all of the above, e.g. MDS$ becomes MDSMBF$, etc.?
2. Is there a way to position the window of the running program so it always opens to the same spot on the desktop?
3. When the program exits, I sometimes get the message "press any key to continue" when all I want is the window to close.
Thanks,
Arnold
