Rummaging around in the computer, trying to install a new hard drive is the short answer. The long answer will follow shortly as soon as it’s complete.

RANDOM access on QuickBasic
QuickBasic is one of my favourite programs of all time. It is a program from the days when Microsoft was focussed on producing good software, instead of maximising profit. How times have changed.
If you’ve never used QuickBasic and have no intention of doing so then this post will be no use to you whatsoever. I’m not guaranteeing that it will be of any use even if you do use QuickBasic.
I wanted to write a program that would simply write and read from random-access files. Simple as. No frills.
Here it is. It’s been compiled into an EXE file that doesn’t need BR45 files (yay!) and because I’m feeling nice, I’ve posted the source code here. Read on to see it.
