FreeBASIC stuff
While I was browsing through this forum I noticed a hell of a lot of praise for FreeBASIC and so I decided I'd go see what the fuss was about. The specs looked awesome and so I downloaded it as quickly as i possibly could. After much salivating while waiting for it to install I was really let down by the fact that it's command line operated.
I'm a really lazy bastard and I love being able to use "?" as a shortcut for "PRINT" and just being able to hit F9 to quickly run and find out if what i'm doing works or not rather than having to compile the whole thing. Is there any way I can have some kind of nice pretty qb45 style interface for it that still lets me make use of all of fb's juicy 32 bit goodness?

Towels may be harmful if swallowed in large quantities.
If by loading you mean the program does not compile or does not run as expected, FB and QB differ in some aspects, you have the list here

BTW: A .bas file must be saved in text format to be readable by anything else than QB.

If you're referring to compiling QB4.5 programs, then do as they said. If you're having problems just loading program code into FBIDE, then what you need to do is to go back to the QB IDE and save your source in text format rather than QB's wanked-up Binary format. It saves in the wanked-up Binary format by default, you need to specifically save it as text instead.Hrothgar wrote:I'm having trouble loading some of my stuff from QB45 on FB. Is it possible?
