How to Print or View QuickBASIC Compiler "lst" Listing File (42516)




This article was previously published under Q42516

SUMMARY

The Macintosh QuickBASIC editor (List window) is not very suitable for printing or examining compiler listing files. You may use the following programs to print or examine a program's listing file:

  1. The "Print Listing File" program provided with QuickBASIC Version 1.00
  2. Edit (included on the compiler distribution disk)
  3. Microsoft Word for Apple Macintosh, or another text editor
The Print Listing File program is the most convenient because it automatically forces a new page at the beginning of a page header. If you are using Edit, Word, or another text editor, then you will have to insert page breaks yourself.

A compiled program's listing file is created by selecting "Create Program List File" from Options... in the Run menu before compiling. Compiler listing files are given the extension "lst" by the compiler.
