RL> Checked out 120 bbs's so far. No luck. You haven't checked mine :-) (If you do, remember that first-time callers don't have access to the QB file area until they fill in the questionnaire; also don't waste your time with the 'Yell' command: the 'C' program that it invokes to artificial-chat you is kinda rude - not unlike looking at 'C' code for the first time). Your best bet is to File Request it if you can, as QBSWAP.ZIP. It contains the .ASM source, as well as SWAP.OBJ and FSWAP.OBJ (the first one is for QB near strings, the second one for PDS far strings), and some notes on how to call it in your QB program. Note that I haven't had much success with swapping from the QB environment, but it works really well when linked to standalone objects to make a .EXE. Just remember to place SWAP.OBJ *first* in the list of programs to link. --- ME2_1104 * Origin: Out of String Space - the Final Frontier (Fidonet 1:163/506.2)
