WAIT Statement Can Access All 65535 Ports, Not Just 0 to 255 (44035)
This article was previously published under Q44035
SUMMARY
The documentation for the WAIT statement incorrectly states that the
input port number given as an argument to a WAIT statement can range
from 0 to 255 only. WAIT can actually address all 65,536 machine ports
(0 to 65535).
This information applies to the WAIT statement in the following
manuals:
- Page 446 of "Microsoft QuickBasic 4.0: Basic Language Reference"
for Versions 4.00 and 4.00b for MS-DOS
- Page 446 of "Microsoft Basic Compiler 6.0: Basic Language
Reference" for Versions 6.00 and 6.00b for MS-DOS and MS OS/2
- Page 507 of "Microsoft QuickBasic Compiler" manual for Versions
2.0x and 3.00 for MS-DOS
This documentation error has been corrected in the "Microsoft Basic
7.0: Language Reference" manual and in the Microsoft Basic PDS 7.00
QBX.EXE Microsoft Advisor on-line Help system.
