For those who have answered this question for a thousand other people a
thousand times, my appologies.

I am teaching myself programing using BASIC (QB4.5 -- because it was given
to me, I believe leagally), and I have come to the point where I will need
to access specific memory locations. Is there a table that lists each
location and what it refers to? I have searched the WWW (not quite as
thoroughly as I would have liked) and have not been able to find anything
useful. I have lost my old BASIC handbook (yes, pre-BASICA, pre-GWBASIC),
so I can't look it up there.

As I have only intermittant access to NGs, I would appreciate a private
email response, if that is possible (to email me privately, remove
"NOSPAM." from the address before sending).

Thanks,

A. Nony, Mouse.

I have the full interrupt list available for donwload on my websites:
http://www.pbarchives.org
http://www.xs4all.nl/~excel

You can find them in the 'resources' section. It includes both the original
textfiles and a pre-compiled windows .HLP file.

You're looking for Ralf Brown's interrupt list. IIRC all/most of the memory
addresses are in one of the files. (and now I can't find the URL! but a simple
search should turn it up)

Conversly if you'll let us know what you're looking to do we may already have
it up and running.

Well, first off, a lot of us don't think you should post en masse and ask
for a private response. That's kinda asking for free consulting and those of
us who get paid to consult don't really enjoy giving it away. (However, we
*do* recognize the inherent marketing value of a group reply which provides
some name recognition, and many of us do offer help in a group setting).
(There are other reasons, too).

Second, if you use Microsoft Outlook Express, there is no way I can figure
out how to edit the 'nospam' out without putting you in the address book
first. If you're gonna ask for a personal response, the least you could do
is provide a "click-on" address or let us use the reply key.

..Oh, yeah, your question..

Much of the reference material on memory locations is becoming
quasi-obsolete under Windows. What, exactly, are you trying to do that you
think (perhaps correctly!) you need direct RAM access?  If you are just
teaching yourself BASIC, leave the PEEK and POKE stuff alone for a while -
especially true since ya never know what no longer works as Windows
"improves" with each new release - you'll not know if you messed up
something or Windows no longer supports it.

(Right click on the message, properties, copy & paste. But that's besides
the point -- I completely agree with you here.)

Damn! I was gonna try that next!

Seriously, thanks for the tip.

I want to thank all of you who helped me, whether in private mail or on
the NG. I have gone to the resources that you've posted and am wading
through them. They seem to be very helpful.

 :)  Well, first off, a lot of us don't think you should post en

My sincere apologies for the breach of etiquette/ nettiquette. The
problem that prevented me from checking the NGs seems to be fixed
(hopefully for good).

Sorry. I have become terribly paranoid of spam-crawlers and other similar
"data collection" bots. I have fixed the e-dress to make it a little more
friendly (now hoping I do not have to step up bot-compensation and
quadruple my kill-file in the next month or so).

I actually used to be fairly proficient at BASIC programming, but put it
down for the last couple of years. I recently picked the interest back up,
and would like to be able to go beyond the classic "command-line, black
background" stereotype program (And yes, I do realize that a few simple
things can take a program beyond the level of black background and
command-line only). While almost all that I want to accomplish can be done
with the BASIC commands, there are a few things that are outside of
reasonable possibility on that level.

        And whoose fault is that?  I mean, if you're gonna _insist_ on using
inferior software... :)
