I am new to PowerBasic for DOS in fact so new that the program
should arrive this comming Monday or Tuesday.
Hopefully I'd like to be ready for it with a min of down time.
I have some old DOS programs written in Basic,Basica or GWbasic
that will not run on my newly acquired Windows XP OS.
PowerBasic for DOS therefore is the answer,in my efforts to
prepare myself for problems someone might have experienced some
of thse problems to help.
I am told that it is possible some of the old DOS commands are
not acceptable to PB for DOS. These will be rejected with a
Syntax Error and prompt you to use a built in
"Search & Replace"function asking for a replacement.
I was made aware that there are certain variables that will
not be accepted,example one that I have used is AT$,this could
be a problem. Also commands such as PRINT,LPRINT & GOTO.
Has anyone out there run into this if so what can be done to
remendy the situation
