QBASIC implementation help

If you want to download a QBasic compiler select the following:

• QuickBasic Cafe
  
• Select Enter (English version)
  
• Select Compilers. (From left box, below Downloads)
  
• Surf to the section COMPILERS. There are 5 compilers listed: FirstBas, Compiler 1.1, 3.0, 4.5 and 7.1
  
• Select: Compiler 4.5 (966kB Zip file)
  

All my programmes are written with that compiler. A compiler allows you to enter and run a program and to create an executable (.EXE) file

You can also try Compiler 7.1 (4868kB Zip file) This compiler supports the same statements as 4.5 plus many more. The performance is also better.

You can down load the programs in two ways:

As source code, in the form of .BAS files

As an executable, in the form of .ZIP files

Before you down load two things are important

• Use (Open) a separate directory to either store your .BAS or .ZIP files
• None of the 20 programs performs internally any disc READS or WRITES. You have to trust the owner of this home page for that, See Virus for security issues.
• In order to run the programs you need one copy of BRUN45. This is a standard MicroSoft library. You have to trust MS that this program does not access any disc IO except when specific requested.

If you have a QBASIC compiler, you can down load:

1. programs 1 - 21 as .BAS files. 21progbas.zip (65 K, Zip file).
2. Each of the 21 programs separately. See below

If you do not have a QBASIC compiler, you can down load:

1. programs 1 - 21 as .EXE files. 21progexe.zip (243 K, Zip file).
2. Each of the 21 programs separately. See below
3. Support program BRUN45.EXE brun45.zip (54 K, Zip file). This program is required for anyone of the 21 programs

VISUAL BASIC implementation help

If you want to down load the 4 Visual Basic Programs as .EXE files select: vbexe.zip (60 K, Zip file).

If you want to excute a Visual Basic 5.0 Program you have to download the Visual Basic 5.0 Run-Time Files Msvbvm50.exe
This extraction file contains the following files:

Msvbvm50.dll, Oleaut32.dll, Olepro32.dll, Stdole2.tlb, Asycfilt.dll and Comcat.dll

which are stored in the directory: C:/windows/system (Windows 98) or in the directory C:/windows/system32 (Windows XP)
For a copy Goto: http://www.hotwww.com/ryan/runtime.html.

This url also contains additional downloads which maybe are required.

VISUAL BASIC program operation

The basic operation of all VISUAL BASIC programs is identical. They all use a STRART button, a CANCEL button and some additional control parameters.

• The START button is used to start a simulation. The START button has three states: START, SELECT and STOP. After selecting START the button will change into SELECT. The SELECT state is used to enter the control parameters. After selecting SELECT the simulation will start. The button will change into STOP. After selecting STOP the current simulation will stop and the button will change in START.
• The CANCEL button is used to terminate the program. After seleting CANCEL the program will END.
• The additional control parameters are used control the performance of each simulation.
  • The VBtrain program has 1 parameter: "Simulation Select". When "Simulation Select" is 1 track is Round. When 2 the track has the shape of a horse race track. All other values will terminate the program.
  • The VBslingshot program has 4 option buttons: "Speed up", "Large Effect", "Fast update" and "Mass = 0". Each description reflect the performance when the option is selected. When "Speed up" is not selected the simulation will simulate "Speed Down". When "Large Effect" is selected m3 will pass at a very short distance along m2. When "Large Effect" is not selected the distance will be larger. When "Mass = 0" is not selected, the mass of m3 is 20.
  • The VBKuiper program has 1 parameter: "Simulation Select". The parameter "Simulation Select" has 9 different values.
  • The VBVirialTh program has 3 parameters:"n" to selct the number of objects involved, "Reff" to define the radius of the cluster and "Random" to define the initial value of the random number generator.
• You can change the size of horizontal and vertical border of each Form.
