Free DLL For Reading Real Low Memory Contents?
Hi, I am actually using some free DLLs to operate Ins and Outs at the Parallel port.

Right now I want to implement the software to identify all the installed parallel ports, so I need to read memory address $408...$40F to identify the LPT1...3 physical port addresses.

I found a particular nice DLL that does that. The MEMACC.DLL, but it is not free, and the demo version shows a nag screen, so...

This MEMACC gives me exactly what I want from the low real memory addresses, exactly as if you are reading using DOS assembly;

mov ax,0000
mov es,ax
mov al,es:[408h]

Any good soul to point me to some free DLL that gives me direct access to low memory?

Of course, it needs to be able to deal with Win98/ME/XP/2000/NT...

Thanks a bunch,
Wagner.

Compairing Visual Basic & Real Basic
The thing is, I don't have Visual Basic on my computer (I use a Mac). But I do think I have Real Basic.

I'm just asking how similar or different VB and RB are. More specifically, how much can I apply tutorials for VB to the RB environment?

Thanx

A Real Basic Question But Important
Hi,

When you use

Private Sub myClass()

    Dim varName as Type
    varName = "something"
    Call function(varName)
    'Do whatever else
End Sub

How long does that Dim variable actually live? I mean if it is passed to another class where it set to a Private variable in that class or whatever and the myClass Sub ends. Does the system automatically trash the variable?

Thanks,

Yezdaan

Free Basic Compiler With GUI
Hello,

My friend is looking for a free basic compiler preferably with a graphical user interface.

He has programmed in the '80s using gwbasic and would like to find a compiler which can understand this dialect.

Can anyone tell me where to download such a thing?

Can Visual Basic from Microsoft understand the old gwbasic dialect?

Are there any older versions of Microsoft Visual Basic for download at official Microsoft sites?

Thanks a lot.

Chris.

Visual Basic 6 Free Tutorial
I know there are a lot of Free tuts out there but having used a few of them, most leave a lot to be desired.

I have dug up this tutorial site off the internet. And while I'm just getting into it its really good in that it takes NOTHING for granted about your knowledge as far as I can tell. This is something I haven't found in other tutorials. Even VB4 for Dummies.

In the couple hours I've been going through it it seems like the best VB tutorial I've come across for beginners. So I thought I would share this with everyone in case someone else is interested.

http://www.profsr.com/vb/vbintro.htm

I say we have a contest. Who can post a link to the most well thought out, best written, tutorial for beginners. Eh. Just a thought.

Real, Real Hard, Almost A Challenge
hi all,

basically i'm trying to read time and date from the RTC (Real Time Clock). i need this for an anti-softice trick that i will be sharing asa i get a way to get this information.

for a definition:

Quote:

A real-time clock (RTC) is a battery-powered clock that is included in a microchip in a computer motherboard. This microchip is usually separate from the microprocessor and other chips and is often referred to simply as "the CMOS" (complementary metal-oxide semiconductor). A small memory on this microchip stores system description or setup values - including current time values stored by the real-time clock. The time values are for the year, month, date, hours, minutes, and seconds. When the computer is turned on, the Basic Input-Output Operating System (BIOS) that is stored in the computer's read-only memory (ROM) microchip reads the current time from the memory in the chip with the real-time clock.

i know this is hard, but definitely not unfeasable. it's a driver we need, after all.

i guess i should be doing direct I/O to port 70, which is not normally allowed under the Windows NT/2K/XP security model, however using the device driver called giveio it should be able to run on Windows NT, Windows 2000 and Windows XP systems too.

hope some guru out there has an answer,

cheers 2 u all,

wc.

Hello everyone. First off I would like to say this new theme rocks! Well I am making a simple program but soeem to be having trouble. I want to use winsock or Inet. Don't matter which one. On my form I have 1 text box 1 command button and 1 label. In my text box I type a name and then presss the command button.

I have done this through web broswer but enevr through winsock or Inet. So I would appreciate any help or suggestions very greatly much. So thanks in advance and have a good one guys and gals.

Real TTF Name
Does anyone know how to get real font name without api (using Open "font.ttf" For Binary Access Read) Or perhaps anyone has info about TTF file structure?

Need Real Help!
create a table that has the values and combonations!

Col1........Col2.......Value
Apple......Orange......1...
Apple......Banana......2...

etc... then

"SELECT Value where Col1 = '" & combo1.text & "' and Col2 = '" & combo2.text & "'"

so this would be:

Seletc Value where col1 = 'Apple' and Col2 = 'Orange'

get it? then there is not 100 diff if thens... just add them to the table.

Real Different Between This.
Can anyone tell the different between this:

a) Doing this
Private Sub SSOleDBCombo2_Click()
Text4 = SSOleDBCombo2.Columns("Descripción").Text
Region = SSOleDBCombo2.Columns("Region").Text

AdoPueblo.ConnectionString = ReqCompras <-- This

SQLPueblo = "SELECT * FROM Pueblos " _
& "WHERE Region = '" & Region & "';"

AdoPueblo.RecordSource = SQLPueblo
AdoPueblo.Refresh
End Sub

b) Or This
SQLDiv = "SELECT * FROM Division " _
& "WHERE Division = '" & RsSuplidor!Division & "';"

Set RsNivel = New ADODB.Recordset
RsNivel.Open SQLDiv, ReqCompras, adOpenStatic, adLockOptimistic

I mean: The real different of .connectionString or
the part b. In fact both (i think) do the same thing

Real 3d Problem
- An atom can be represented as a "ring" in 3 dimensional space.

- If an atom consists of 8 nodes then 8 3d coordinates define its position.

- The 8 nodes are connected between them with a "line", the 1st with the 2nd, the 2nd with the 3rd,...,the 8th with the 1st.

- The nodes are allowed to have very "messy" and free positions (i.e. lines will normaly have to cross each other)

- Many atoms exist in a box of length L.

- X, Y and Z take values between [-L/2, L/2]

- If a node has to move out of the box, it appears again from the other side (of the box). This is called "periodic boundary conditions".

- An example file with the coordinates of 5 atoms (therefore 5x8 3d coordinates) is attached to this message. L = 5.6

- The one who will give me a NICE representation of the 5 atoms in the box will have (appart from the mental satisfaction) an icecream with cookies!!!

Real PROBLEM!!!
Hello there, first off i would like to say hello to you. I would like to know how could I draw (write) some text onto the screen while a fullscreen Direct3d game is running.
I had suggestions about this problem. Some guy told me that I need a few API functions to find the window handle and then set up a DirectX "outpost" to draw on this window, but I don't have idea how to do it and I need help.

I saw this question several times and nobody has correct answer. I hope somebody will help me at this time

Thanks.

Real Challenging One
I have a form.It has one text box in it.The text box has its control source property set to a field value in a query.Now I made the form's default view as "continuous forms".Now when I run it,I see a number of text boxes (equal to the number of values in the query).Mind you all these text boxes have the same name that we gave earlier,as basically it is the same text box displayed repeatedly with the value of a new field.Now how do I make it such that when we click on one of the textboxes it makes the font of that text box ONLY bold.Now if I do that all the text boxes are becoming bold as you know they are the same text box basically.Could any one suggest a way where I can distinguish each occurence of the textbox individually?I mean I should be able to click on one text box and it should either become selected(i mean text in it selected)or it can become bold thus distinguishing a clicked text box and remaining unclicked ones?
