hi there.
sorry people and ADMIN, i haven't been on here for months, because of my university work, and personal problems, but now i'm back..
kinda forgotton how to do programming cause of the bloody uni brainwashing us with crappy java! so, i kinda forgot what my own codes do lol
anyway, wanted to know, is there a way of creating a TCP/IP protocol for QBASIC?
why? well, i wanted to make my OS to be able to access the net using broadband internet.
anyone made one? is one availible online? is there a way?
Thanks

1) You can't make an operating system in QB because it's routines are reliant on DOS.
2) At present, there isn't a TCP/IP protocal for dos that QB can use. But V1ctor did make a lovely library called dsock that allows QB to use Winsock ala a vxd. There's also some lib called wsock someone made but I trust v1ctor's programming better since he's gots the reputation.

Not an OS, but a Shell. It uses DOS, so the OS is DOS, and OS1 is the SHELL.
