Cyborg Posted September 10, 2003 Share Posted September 10, 2003 What kind of basic is this?Q Basic, GW Basic, Visual Basic?If it's visual basic, you need at least one dll file called msvbvm60.dllDo you need some extra controls than just the normal ones?

Andrew Posted September 10, 2003 Share Posted September 10, 2003 I'm guessing its, Q basic at the best...(remember he is using a 486)http://www.emsps.com/oldtools/msbasv.htmmight help you if the program is BASIC, although I don't think it will.(the webpage that is) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caid Ivik Posted September 10, 2003 Share Posted September 10, 2003 QBasic can't compile an application, I used to make BAT files to start my projects. DOS can run qbasic programs as a command. If DOS on newer comp lacks it, then just copy it. No one would hunt you for that... Maybe you should try TurboBasic, this one can compile programs to EXE.

Cyborg Posted September 10, 2003 Share Posted September 10, 2003 Good point, Caid.I think he uses Visual Basic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazArra Posted September 11, 2003 Author Share Posted September 11, 2003 no i was mentioning QBASIC. so if QBASIC can not compile serperate applications, then you said I should use TurboBasic? i am assuming it uses the same programming language as BASIC> If so, where do you think i could find it?thank you for the help, again :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caid Ivik Posted September 11, 2003 Share Posted September 11, 2003 I don't know, it was made by Borland I think. If the firm exists yet, I doubt you will be able to download it there, search for some older utility page. But if you copy qbasic to DOS of your newer comp, a batch file should work too.

Cyborg Posted September 11, 2003 Share Posted September 11, 2003 I strongly recommend updating to Visual Basic, crazArra.I can help you with whatever you need if you use that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
