Thank you Thank you Thank you QB64

I was really bored last night, long day at work, didn't feel like programming, gaming was nothing interesting, and prob wouldn't stay focused on a book, so went back to trying to figure out how to display an ANSI screen from my BBS days.

Failing miserably I went back to RTFM THEDRAW.DOC, and all I saw was for PASCAL.  The method was close to QB64, but I was having trouble converting it. So read some more - keep in mind the doc was written in the 90's,

CTR-F search fun began
"QBASIC" nothing
"QUICK BASIC" nothing.
"BASIC" boom!! there it was.

"BLOAD" Did QB64 have it? YES!

So just to test, whipped up a simple title screen (using THEDRAW)
And below is the result.

1 simple line does the trick

Code: QB64: [Select]

1. BLOAD "filename.bsv"
2.  

And just in time for the weekend .. gonna go through all my apps and give them some eye candy.

So many thanks for having that command available.

BLOAD was also available in QBasic. Yes, Pascal is similar. I made a few programs in it, when QBasic lost support. But then, QB64 came along, and I haven't looked back.
