     If you run into trouble with ADVBAS, please read the Operation Notes
     at the beginning of the ADVBAS.DOC manual.  Remember to declare any
     numeric variables used with ADVBAS routines as integers!

     See the file WARNING.TXT for information about bugs in QuickBASIC
     version 3.0 - 4.0 which affect ADVBAS users.  This is particularly
     important with QB4, which is both buggy and somewhat incompatible
     with previous versions of the QuickBASIC compiler.

     ADVBAS comes with a complete set of object files for its routines.
     This allows you to create your own libraries for QuickBASIC.

     For QuickBASIC 2.0 - 3.0, you can create a library compatible with
     the programming environment by using the BUILDLIB utility provided
     with QuickBASIC.  In order to create the library, use the command
     "BUILDLIB <ADVBAS.QB".  This will create the library ADVBAS.EXE from
     the object files.  You may edit ADVBAS.QB to include your own
     routines to create a customized ADVBAS.EXE.

     For QuickBASIC 4.0, you can create a library compatible with the
     programming environment by using the LINK utility provided with
     QuickBASIC.  Use the command "LINK <ADVBAS.QB4".  Note that you must
     have the library BQLB40.LIB (which comes with QuickBASIC 4.0) in your
     current drive/directory, or on the path specified by the DOS
     environment variable "LIB".  This will create the library ADVBAS.QLB
     from the object files.  You may edit ADVBAS.QB4 to include your own
     routines if you wish to create a customized ADVBAS.QLB.

     For compiling with any version of QuickBASIC from the command line,
     you can create a library by using the LIB utility provided with many
     of Microsoft's languages, including QuickBASIC 4.0.  Use the command
     "LIB <ADVBAS.BS" to create the library.  Use a disk which does not
     already contain ADVBAS.LIB.

     The ADVBAS object files have been grouped in an archive, OBJECT.ARC,
     in order to reduce space requirements.  If you got ADVBAS from a BBS,
     just unARC this file the way you normally would.

     Contributors unfamilar with archives should use the enclosed ARCE
     utility to access the archive files.  The object code can be accessed
     using the command "ARCE OBJECT", and the source code by "ARCE SOURCE".

     My thanks to Vern Buerg,  an author of ARCE, for his permission to
     include this handy utility with the ADVBAS disk.

      The object files are included for your convenience in creating your
      own customized version of ADVBAS.  Such libraries are for your own
      personal use only.  You may not distribute modified libraries to the
      general public!  Such distribution is in violation of my copyright,
      and I will not be amused.
