This article was previously published under Q31938 SUMMARY
If a program has been saved in the Protected file format, you cannot
open a List window for that file. Protected files cannot be listed,
edited, or compiled; they can only be run in the interpreter.
QuickBASIC displays an "Invalid function call" error if you attempt to
display the Listing window for a program that has been saved in
Protected format. The BASIC interpreter Versions 2.x and 3.00 display
an "Illegal function call" error.
A file is protected by saving it with the Protected option in the Save
As... command in the File menu. The default format when saving files
is Compressed. You MUST save a copy of the file under another name
using the Text or Compressed format BEFORE saving the file as
Protected if you wish to access the source code in the future.
This article applies to the interpreter in Microsoft QuickBASIC
Version 1.00, and to Microsoft BASIC Interpreter Versions 1.00, 1.01,
2.00, 2.10, and 3.00 for Apple Macintosh.
