Use qb 4.5 when you can. It is faster and, like Nodtveidt said, it produces smaller .exe's (I didn't know this though ). But, qb 7.1 has a few more options. I needed it once because it has a command to show you all files in a map or something like that. If you have to use qb 7.1, you can download it here:

To make smaller and faster executables in the PDS could be used the option /G2, that produces code in the executables for computers 286.Nodtveidt wrote:...Stick with QB 4.5, it tends to produce smaller executables anyways.

Re: Compiler problem with QuickBasic 7.10
I think you mean that it's trying to find the BC.exe, that is, the Basic Compiler, not the QB.exe, to make the executable.Andrew Dance wrote:...it cannot locate QB.exe
If you are compiling from the editor, you need to tell the PATH touching 'Options' and 'Set Paths...', that way the editor it won't ask you again.
When the PDS it's asking the definitions file it means that you are trying to make an executable for the Windows or for the OS/2 using the option /LP that it means 'Link to Protected Mode'.Andrew Dance wrote:...it keeps asking for the definitions file...
When you compile just click to change that option to /LR, that it means 'Link to Real Mode', you will need to do that only once.
