I am going to...

[Moneo]

test anyone's programs who wants me to! I have QBasic 4.5, and my comp will NOT run all. if it doesn't run, sorry.

Ok, here's a little program that I normally compile with QuickBasic 4.5 before running. You can test it any way you wish. I'm also running Windows XP, but use what you have.

The program receives a path name of a directory which it wants to know if it exists. For this is does a SHELL which should send the words YES IT EXISTS to the screen if it exists. Well, on my PC and others, it doesn't recognize existing directories. I think it's the \NUL which is not working on Windows 2000 and XP.

So, test it, and see what conclusions you have, and if you can get it to work.

Code:

print "Enter path of directory to test ";
input dirtest$
s$="if exist "+dirtest$+"\nul echo YES IT EXISTS"
shell s$
SYSTEM

Thank you very much.
