Note:
The following files are small basic programs that when run, 
call the necessary batch file that the "Four Files of the 
Apocalypse" needs to start.

When the batch files is finished running it goes back to the 
small basic program that starts the desired big Basic 
program up again.

Kind of goofy, but it works great and you can have no end of 
linking applications if you want.

That is why for most of personal home programming the 
segment limit is quite meaningless as a limitation.  You can 
keep calling or merging programs to doomsday.

i couldn't figure out how to do that using QBASIC so that is 
why i prefer GW-BASIC.

It seems that when you end a program in QBASIC you are 
dropped back into the editor whether you want it or not.  

But be forwarned, i am not a programmer so there may be an 
obvious way to keep programs up and running in QBASIC, it is 
just that i never spent the time to figure out how...
