This page is somewhat new, so I need some help building it up, but don't let this stop you from scanning the download libraries and trying the Claim to Fame contest that could get YOUR name and picture on this web page! Also, Please feel free to upload your programs and other Quick Basic or QBasic Programs or libraries you have. Please do NOT send me any EXE files. Due to viruses I will not accept them.

The Quick Basic Claim to Fame Contest!

This is your chance to have your name and almost anything else you want posted on this web page for a week!

And all you have to do is win this simple contest.

The Objective:

Write an encryption program that will read any text file and change it into an encrypted file that follows certain standards. Your program will read a data file that is formatted and looks something like the following, except the data will be different and there will be more or fewer lines. Here is an example file:

H Hb
Q JosR
R K

The first letter in each line is the letter that is to be encrypted, and it is NOT case sensitive. A capital "A" is to be treated just like a small "a" in the Input file that I will test your program with. The rest of the line after the space is the string that will be substituted for the first letter. This is NOT case sensitive either. Here is an example of a text file that will be used with the input file to create your output file (There will be more than one line on the real text file):

Hi there

If this were the text file, your output file should look like this:

Hbi theKe

The input file will be called "INPUT.DAT". The text file will be called "TEXT.DAT", and the output file can be called anything you want. This may seem very easy, but there are a few catches:

The winner will be the one who's program is shortest in bytes and follows the following guidelines

The program must work correctly
It must be a Quick Basic or QBasic program
It must be in ASCII text

If you win I'll reply by E-Mail and tell you so that you can send whatever information you want, such as your name or picture, to be posted on this page as the winner of the Quick Basic Claim to Fame Contest.

If you have a program that you would like to submit for the Claim to Fame Contest:
