Oh, please, please, please, not Quick Basic. A binary please, please,
please. Maybe even for DOS?!???!!!

I have actaual been toying with the idea of creating a triangle editor
for Pov-ray in C. It is one of, if not the most, need tools for Pov-ray.

  But quickbasic creates binaries.

  QuickBasic is not the same thing as QBasic.

The real problem is the lack of mouse support in QuickBasic 1.1, which
means keyboard commands, which makes it very time-consuming to select a
point in order to make a triangle from it; right now the user has to
scroll through the other points in order to select the desired point, and then
find two more in order to define a triangle.

Since uploading the original version, I have added the ability to copy
the marked points.  In order to do this I also had to re-write the
point creation subroutine so that the previous hard-wired limit of
1000 was no longer in effect.  There was no error-checking in the
first version, so the user adding the 1001st point was in for a rude
lesson in frequent saves...

There are a couple more changes that need to be made.  Someday I'll
upload the results.

Regards,
John

If it's possible to make system interrupt calls (int 33) or directly inline
assembler in quickbasic, you could make your own mouse reading routines.
