' Havnt you ever wondered about what secrets lurk under that
' little interpreter/compiler engine called QuickBASIC ?
'
' As every little programmer knows, information saves time.
' And every once in a while sometimes you really need that
' little piece of info to finish that project.
' Well i studied the quick libraries and libraries which are
' used in all QB programs, and i found out that alot of
' QB's internal "variables" are fully accessable by user
' assembly routines. I can give you a little preview of the
' information i soon will fully release.
'
' This information is strictly for informational purposes only,
' I (the author) take no responsibility for the information herein.
'
'
' Snack:
'       Havnt you ever wanted a way to get the current segment
'       defined by 'DEF SEG' ? I know alot of subs out there have had
'       to clear the current defined segment so they could do their stuff.
'       And that is really sad...
'
' Well here is the stuff.. (Remember QB45 only, not QBasic 1.1)
'
' 1.  First extract this little object file.
' 2.  LIB Whatevr.lib -+bastard.obj;
' 3.  LINK whatevr.LIB, whatevr.QLB, NUL, <qb45 path>\LIB\BQLB45.LIB /Q;
' 4.  QB prinz.bas /L whatevr
' 5.  DECLARE FUNCTION GetSeg%
'
' Then you might test the routine with this.
'
' DEF SEG=&HB800
' A%=GetSeg%
' PRINT HEX$(A%)
'
' Now the program should output 'B800', Voila ! 
' Please note that the .OBJ file could be added to any .LIB and .QLB file
'
' Greetings to: William Yu - I love your ABC, btw, my reader is soon to
'                            be released, i did an all asm thing.
'                            I cant help it, i love efficiency and SPEED !
'               Class      - Long time no see, havnt seen you on IRC for
'                            a looong time, please contact me ! (email)
'               Question   - Call me, ill love to write that multitasking
'                            routine for your new kernel to Linux(edu. reasons)
