Is this subroutine available anywhere so I don't have to use the QB.lib? Or something as good which can easily be modified to use instead of call absolute? I'm writing a game, and I want to print up the whole source code after it's done, including the call absolute subroutine if it's available. thanks

It's also in BCOM45.LIB. So, if you LINK directly from DOS, you don't need QB.LIB. But that doesn't really do anything for you. The source code for the ABSOLUTE routine is ASM. Why would you need to list the source code for ABSOLUTE any more than you'd need to list the source code for every other QB routine that your program uses?

Just for personal sake. I like to print my source code for my projects when they are complete because I've lost lots of work in the past relying on computers to backup my data and then the hard disk crashing on me. So, if I have every bit of source code that I use, I can re-write the entire thing if I happen to lose it. The only thing that I don't have any source of is call absolute. But I suppose since it comes with every copy of QB, I won't have to worry about that.

It comes with QB (because it's part of QB)--it's not "your source code". Nobody (who has a proverbial "clue") expects to get the source code of a compiler/interpreter when they go to download the source code to someone's program.
