fluke Posted January 4, 2009 Posted January 4, 2009 I'm wondering if i will be able to run QBasic under Vista, or if not, if there's any way to get around it, or if there's a free Basic variant i should look into that will run the programs i wrote for it?
CoffeeFiend Posted January 4, 2009 Posted January 4, 2009 QBasic is from MS DOS 5, circa 1991, or 18 years ago. That's from before Windows 3.1 even...Time to upgrade to something more modern perhaps... There's tons of free compilers. And if you're into the basic syntax, then there's the free Visual Basic 2008 Express Edition
fluke Posted January 4, 2009 Author Posted January 4, 2009 So, give a suggestion for what i should use? And are there any that will be (at least mostly) compatible with the programs i've written in QBasic?

But I'm no expert in QBasic. Last time I came even near that thing is over 15 years ago.BTW, there are tons of simple training/get started/how-to's and such if you need them. All free of course.
