Microsoft Quickbasic 4

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

Les

From Google : Get QB64 v1.5

"
QB64 is a modern extended BASIC programming language that retains QBasic/QuickBASIC 4.5 compatibility and compiles native binaries for Windows, Linux, and macOS.

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.

I don't know as I did not test...
You can test to see if it works.

There is also FreeBASIC that you can test

Small Basic says that Microsoft Small Basic is ... derived from QuickBasic. I do not know how compatible they are but you can try Small Basic.
