Information file for:
QB64SHELL - command line prompt shell windows program for QB64
Purpose:
Provides a low level DOS-like command shell program similar to the one
used by Windows CMD.EXE prompt. Tries to improve on most DOS functions,
such as: DIR, COPY, DELETE, MKDIR, etc. Also supports standard I/O
between commands and a full screen editor.
Installation:
Copy the QB64shell archive to C:\QB64 and extract contents there.
Load/Start or make .EXE then enter the shell at the command line.
Since QB64shell starts with user profiles activated, enter SYSOP
and PASSWORD to logon.
Files used:
QB64shell attempts to create the folder QB64shell in the \program files
group. The files in the folder are:
filemenu.cfg - config data for the file menu box
profiles.dat - user profiles data file
qb64shell.cfg - current state of QB64shell after exit
filename.cfg is written the first time QB64shell starts.
profiles.dat is written with SYSOP the first time QB64shell starts.
qb64shell.cfg is written every time the QB64shell exits and contains
such variables as the windows coordinates, statusbar setting, etc.
Any of these files may be safely deleted.
Compiling QB64shell:
The following files are required to make the QB64shell.exe program:
QB64shell.bas -- main QB64shell code
QB64shell.inc -- the QB64shell include file
QB64shell.ico -- the QB64shell icon file
QB64shell.new -- new version list file
QB64shell.txt -- readme file
Mem.h -- memory and cpu usage include file
THX_Sound_Effect.mp3 - intro sound
(only plays the first time QB64shell starts)
Author notes:
Program is published 11/30/2022 and is public domain BASIC source code.
