QB 4.00 README.DOC: LOF Returns Bytes in Output Buffer (33456)






This article was previously published under Q33456

SUMMARY

The following information was taken from the QuickBasic Version 4.00 and 4.00b README.DOC file. It gives a correction to Page 141 of the "Microsoft QuickBasic 4.0: Programming in Basic: Selected Topics" manual (Section 3.5.2, "Communications Through the Serial Port"). This information applies to the LOF function when used with the communications device ("COM1:" or "COM2:") in QuickBasic versions 4.00, 4.00b, and 4.50:

In the "Information Returned" column for the LOF function, the description should read: "The amount of space remaining (in bytes) in the output buffer". (Note that this is a change from the behavior of LOF in previous versions of QuickBasic).
