Does anyone knows whether there is a difference in implementation of the CVS
function in GWBASIC & QBASIC ? I have a file that when I use the CVS function
in GWBASIC to convert the string read, it gives the correct value. However, if
I use QBASIC, CVS converts the string wrongly. 

I'll appreciate if someone could shed some light on this!

Thanks alot!

Regards,

Start QBASIC with the /mbf command line option.  This tells QBASIC to use the
Microsoft Binary Format when evaluating CVS instead of the newer IEEE format
adopted after QB version 4.0.  GW-BASIC uses the older mbf format.

Or dig thru the online help and discover that you can use CVSMBF....
