I must be missing several things here. What is "QBX"? Google does not help. Is this a nickname for the BASIC PDS? Is it some kind of BASIC-to-C compiler? Is it part of the PDS? This implies so: https://www.pcjs.org/documents/books/mspl13/basic/b7start/ > Hm. Converting from QBX 7 to something like Watcom or DJGPP would be a > LOT easier I do not understand. How can you compile BASIC code with these C compilers? Why, indeed, would you want to?

I didn't know that was possible either, but I spent a total of maybe 1 hour playing with VB for DOS about 25 years ago. > When I first started learning C, most of my code was written in QBX.

Without knowing what "QBX" is I can't parse this. -- Liam Proven ~ Profile: https://about.me/liamproven Email: lpro...@cix.co.uk ~ gMail/gTalk/FB: lpro...@gmail.com Twitter/LinkedIn: lproven ~ Skype: liamproven IoM: (+44) 7624 227612: UK: (+44) 7939-087884 Czech [+ WhatsApp/Telegram/Signal]: (+420) 702-829-053 _______________________________________________ Freedos-devel mailing list Freedos-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-devel
