I have been programming for quite a qhile now, but untill I came to this site I had never heard of qbasic libaries. What do they do and how do they work.
eminiscing about trapezoids in conjunction with stratospherical parabolas:
No questions asked.

A library is like a collection of SUBs and FUNCTIONs. The advantage is that they can be written in other, faster, more powerful programming languages.
People write libraries for all kinds of things, like graphics, sound, etc... It's sort-of a way to extend QB's capabilities.

Almost everyone here uses libraries for programming. It depends on the purpose of your program.

For example, if you want to use SVGA,EMS,XMS etc.... you would be using Future.Library, UGL...
They allow you to do things that you wont be able to do 'normally' in QB. In essence enhancing the functionality of the language. :roll:
