With respect to qb7.1: I have downloaded the zip file from three different sources. Each time, when I try to run the setup.exe file, I get stuck in a screen that asks me to Re-enter Paths and Directories. The only thing I see that I believe I have to change is the first line, "Source Drive: a:", which I changed to"c:". Everything proceeds fine, until I get to the point where I press "I" to install 7.1...then, it asks me to insert Disk 1 in drive C:. I enter "c", for Continue, and I can't proceed! Do you have any suggestions? The only reason that I have tried to get 7.1 is to see if I can get the large arrays in far memory...
In QuickBASIC 4.5, when I enter "qb /ah" in the DOS-Prompt command line, I can then create an array,
a(43,43,43)
which has 43^3 = 79507 elments, or 79507*4 (bytes/single-precision element) = 318,028 bytes, just the memory area available to qb 4.5. I'm hoping that "far memory" refers to a good chunk of the 512 MB of memory in my computer! I hope.
