    I propose we turn the idea of a FAQL (Frequently Asked Questions List), to
a FAQR, Frequently Asked QuickBASIC Routines.  This is because most of the 
stuff I have are routines .. just a few actual documents.

So here's some stuff I wrote while I went through my collection cleaning up all
the message headers, re-writing some pieces of code in functions, etc :

The first thing I did before cleaning up all my files, I separated all the 
files into separate directories, so here are the categories I have so far :
MISC     Miscellaneous code and docs
QB       QB 4.5 related files such as patches, making libs, etc
NETWORK  Two routines to determine network IDs
SOUND    Well, not to rush you, we're waiting, Rich.  Need complete listing of
         QBTWEAKR though.
MOUSE    Well, so far I have Rich Gelrich's text cursor routines.
         There's also at least dozens of mouse codes floating around 
         everywhere, anyone want to provide some well written and documented 
         ones?
PSP      Well, I need someone to come up with a complete set of routines for
         using the PSP
DATE     Date of the week routines, and the Juliana functions
MATH     General theory stuff, Arc Sine function, Compression, Encryption
DOS      Lots of files and Interrupt related stuff here
DBASE    I have an incomplete DBase write program here.  Some one provide a 
         more complete one?  There's one in QB News, but are we allowed to use
         that?
MIXLANG  Some docs on mix language programming. Missing Parts 6 and 7 of Howard
         Mencher's series.  Also, a test program in A86 to use as library in
         QB.  I need some articles on Assembler interface.
ANSI     Rich Geldrich's PANSI.BAS
RESOURCE So far, I have BASIC Pro, Crescent Soft., a Mail order Co., and the
         Waite Group's QuickBASIC Bible for references
DISABLE  Various routines to disable stuff
KEYBOARD An example to use extended keys and Txt3win
COMM     Various communication routines
GRAPHIC  Various graphical routines

Well, we're gonna need some good explainer to explain what the new user is 
getting and how to use these routines.

Some things I have to ask for is :

DBase Routines
PDQ support?
Who posted routines to individually turn on and off keyboard status?
Want to support QuickBASIC only?
What about PowerBASIC routines?
Someone want to convert some PowerBASIC routines in QB?
Howard Mencher, I'm missing Mix Language with QB, parts 6 and 7
Brent Ashley, or someone with a good manual, would you do some complete 
   routines for accessing the PSP?
Can someone come up with a routine to turn the DTR off and on?
I forgot to save BASIC Pro Magazine's address, can some one provide that?
How about a sound library?  Seems that lots of people in all sorts of 
   progamming conferences are looking for them.  Why not one in QB?
Can someone write up a short article on using RANDOM files with TYPEs?
It would be nice if someone came up with a font to be used with FONTEST.BAS
Ok, do you think the routines to encode colours into a string should be i
   included?  btw, I only have half of them, can whoever has them, post them to
   me?
Did anybody find my ScreenSave routines remotely useful?  Should I include
   those?  They're the ones with multiple types of saving and retrieving to
   cover most graphic modes.  I know there's lots of bugs in them but what do
   you think?  Did all of those freehand ...

	Ok, last question, I have cleaned up all of the code in my collection.
Does anyone think I should post a prelimenary compressed file for all of you
to look at?  It'll only be consisted of code and a few docs (incomplete ones
included) ... well?
