Once upon a time Jeff Johnston uttered these sage words to Mark Butler: JJ> Hey, Mark! JJ> Howzit? I tried to run your pulldown menu that you JJ> posted on 12-18-92 and it gives me an error saying that JJ> Memcopy is a sub not defined. The code is in the sub JJ> RestScrn. It looks like this. The code must be compiled to be run since "MemCopy" is an alias for a QB internal normally called B$ASSN. Look at the sub declarations and you'll see it there. This QB internal is not callable in the environment but could be replaced by something like Tom Hanlin's "BlockMove" from his ADVBAS lib if you wanted. Then it could be run in the environment using a QLB with BlockMove in it. תש [-M-H-B-] שת --- timEd/B6 * The future isn't what it used to be * Origin: Terminal Oasis, Portland OR (1:105/330.5)
