Converting old GW Basic Programs to PB

[Alan Earnshaw]

In case anyone else needs it, GW-Basic *is* included on the Windows 95 and 98 CDs. It is not installed by default, so you'll need to hunt for it on the CD, but it is there.

Thanks Eric and Lance..

I found a working copy of GWBasic on an old machine that I had
lying around the house that the wife has not got to yet. It had
the file and I am set.

Thanks again.

Noble, there are a couple of utilities in the FILES section of this web site... did you try one of these or something else?

Do you still have a copy of GWBASIC? As I recall, all you have to do is load the tokenized code and re-save it with the ASCII (,A) option.

I am in desperate need of converting an old GW Basic program
to PowerBasic so that I can modify it but the code was not saved
where I can load it in PB. I have tried the utility that is
located here on the board to convert P-code but it says that it
cannot do it. Anyone have any ideas or tools to offer?

Thanks in advance.
