Basic User-Entry Points Cannot Be Called from Other Languages (42700)






This article was previously published under Q42700

SUMMARY

The "Microsoft Mixed-Language Programming Guide" is packaged with Microsoft C Versions 5.00 and later, Microsoft Pascal Versions 4.00 and later, Microsoft FORTRAN Versions 4.10 and later, and Microsoft Macro Assembler (MASM) Versions 5.00 and later.

On the bottom of Page 39, there is a note that incorrectly states that QuickBasic Version 4.00 provides a number of "user-entry points," which are Basic system-level functions that may be called directly from C, and that the README file provides more information. However, there is no information on these "user-entry points" in the README.DOC file provided with QuickBasic Versions 4.00, 4.00b, or 4.50, Microsoft Basic Compiler Versions 6.00 and 6.00b, or Microsoft Basic Professional Development System (PDS) Version 7.00 or 7.10 for MS-DOS and MS OS/2. This note should be removed, since there are no such user-entry points available.
