Is it possible to make a web broswer in Qbasic which works and connects to the internet? I know how you would get it to read the HTML code but not how to connect to the internet if that is possible.

look up a library called dsock, which uses a vxd to access window's winsock routines. Downloading from the internet can be tricky, but i think there is some kind of routine in dsock that can get the ip for a url, or something. To be honest I dont know, but that's the library you want to use, it's the only one that has successfully (to my knowledge) had online games developed with it.
But yeah, the only way is if you have Winblows, there is no pure dos tcp/ip for qb that works.

You can also use wsockxs:
http://angelfire.lycos.com/tx5/someone42 I found out that some months ago some guy released a thing named "dsock" which is nearly exactly the same thing. Oh well, if you want the "async.bas" example grabs a http document from a server in the most basic way, from there you can make a html interpreter. |
