I know this is probably not the right forum for this but I looked through all the forums to no avail. I currently develope using VS studio but many years ago I developed an application using Quickbasic (not QBAsic) that I would like to run just to enjoy the memories of it. I have the software but want to know if I will be able to install it under Windows 7?? In the past I think I was running Windows 98 but not sure. Anyway if someone can help me with this great! If not can you provide me a link to go to for some help?
Thanks in advance

2021-08-19T06:13:15.227+00:00 Hi Cast,
This sounds so exciting. Let me ask a few questions. If I understand you I can get and install QB64 v1.5 on my windows 7 laptop? Now the big question, the code I had written using Quickbasic 4 will it run using QB64 or do I have to modify some of my coding to get it to run? That's important for me to know since I really don't feel like rewriting anything since it often leads to many headaches. If I remember when I developed this application all I would have to do if I remember correctly use a command something like QB\L and then some object modules. Anyway Cast thank you for your attention on this matter and I will anxiously wait for your response.
