call absolute(???????) does not work in qb7.1
why????????
how to write a mouse program?

You probably haven't done the following:
1) Load QB7.1 using QBX/L
2) '$INCLUDE:'QBX.BI'

Hi.

I had this problem too long time ago.
It's true, u should use QBX /L qbx.lib
or an other librar (i don't remember).
Oh, also use the $include as above. Cheers

It should also be noted that CALL ABSOLUTE uses a different format in virtually every version of QB and QBASIC. That is to say, a CALL ABSOLUTE routine written for QBASIC will not work without modifications in QB 4.5 or QB 7.1. QB 4.5 and QB 7.1 also differ.

Hmmm... how much modification are we talking about?

Couldn't say =} I've never done it myself. I personally use an external assembler, which produces object files that can be linked into the binary along with the object files produced by QB's compiler.
