How do I get the string * 1 type to be faster than integer?
I have to use CHR$ and VAL which slows things down considerably.
I hear VBDOS is a faster compiler. I need the fastest one. And instructions, preferrably. Please.

Use CHR$ and ASC only to get and store the data, but copy them to integer variables for all calculations or comparisons.
For VBDOS search google: vbdos.zip download or something like that.

Can VBDOS compile QB programs??

i was hoping it could. M$ did have quite a lot of backwards-compatibility with Quickbasic...

It worked. It's a little less than TWICE as fast!!

You can run qlb libs, but I think they have to be different formats because I tried to run Rellib on VBDos, but it didn't work. If someone can figure out why that is and how to load QB 4.5 Libs into VBDos, then I would say that VBDos is an excellent IDE + compiler to use considering it offers some many tools for Ascii GUIs + plus for anything else like game creation etc. And when compiled if it is almost twice as fast, then bonus!

Yould could ReLink the OBJ's of rellib using VBdos' LIB and Linker and it would work just fine.. ;*)
Don't worry, I already Dle'd VB dos and will make a RelLib VBdos version. :*)
