This means that BASIC programs no longer have to be developed as one monolithic program. They can be written as separate, functionally grouped sets of subroutines that can be used in other programs. A module consists of an optional \"main program\" and a set of subroutines and functions. Data can be passed between modules by using subroutine parameters or named COMMON blocks. The named COMMON statement allows variables and arrays to be shared among the various modules in a single program. Additionally, the standard COMMON statement can be used to pass information between programs. An example of a common block named GRAF3D is shown below. DIM TRANSFORM3D(3,3) \'static array passed in COMMON COMMON/GRAF3D/CURX, CURY, CURZ, TRANSFORM3D() Subroutines, separate compilation, COMMON blocks, and program CHAINing make Microsoft QuickBASIC an ideal language for developing large application systems. Network and Multitasking File Support in Microsoft Languages All of the Microsoft high-level languages have been extended to support file sharing and record locking. These features work with both MS-DOS(R) 3.1 networking and XENIX(R) multitasking systems. A distributed ISAM for the IBM(R) PC Network is now shipping with Microsoft COBOL 2.1 for MS-DOS. List of Third-Party Libraries and Utilities Is Now Available Microsoft has put together a list of names and addresses of vendors that offer libraries and utilities that work with our languages. There are math, statistics, graphics, and ISAM libraries, as well as utilities such as profilers and context sensitive editors. If you would like to receive a copy of this list, please contact Microsoft and ask for the Languages Library List. If you or your company provides libraries or utilities that work with Microsoft languages, then give us a call to find out about our Library Vendor Support Program. Microsoft Has Simplified the Language Runtime License Agreement Microsoft now offers a new runtime license agreement for our language compilers. We have simplified or removed many of the restrictions from the old agreement. The new agreement still allows you to distribute your programs on a royalty-free basis. If you are interested in receiving a copy of this agreement, please contact us.
