Hi everyone !
Need some info about creating DOS-GUI :bounce:
The problem is that i have to create a text-based menu like a LILO os choice menu but i don't know how can i do it in BASIC :-?
take a couple screenshots of the GUI you have in mind to emulate. and perhaps explain its functionality
maybe if im not too busy i can work on some code

If you use QB7.1 or FreeBASIC,.. You can use DIR to find derectories and files of type.... I wrote a Open/Save GUI a few weeks ago in FB that used DIR.... was a huge code and needs FB to run, but the same principle should work in QB7.1.... If this sounds like what you want...
:wink:

This source needs FB, note on the SCREENRES, +=, RGB(), ect,.. statments and syntax..... But the file system setup should do about the same with QB7.1,.. tho DIR$ is used just a slight bit differently.... :wink:
