New system coming.

I'll be be upgrading from W98 to W XP Home.

QuickBasic (defunct Microsoft Product) environment allows
interpreted development and debug of programs. The
program will also produce compiled (*.exe) code. In
particular, I have a home accounting program tailored to
OUR way of managing our resources - Not Quicken's or
somebody else's.

Will the QuickBASIC environment itself and/or the *.exe's
produced by it run under W XP?

If so, how? Compatibility mode? Make the *.exe on an old
system and load it onto the new, run it there? References
to existing articles will be appreciated. Your 2 cents
worth e-mailed to me will also be very valuable.

Thanks,
Jim
 
I believe even GW-BASIC runs on XP, line numbers and all.

Should run. QB itself runs ok on XP.
