Great, just after replying, now I see this new message. ;-) But seriously, this isn't for the faint of heart. You're probably not going to be able to translate real mode stuff without a lot of effort. As nice as FB is overall, it's not a good choice for porting old software unless you really stick to the HLL-only end or just know lots about DPMI (which I do not). (Even "lang qb" without all the unportable stuff isn't 100% compatible.) BTW, I have no idea why "lang qb" is default in whatever IDE you're using. Most people seem to prefer "fblite" or even native "fb" syntax. I'd probably recommend "fblite" if you can force yourself. But be sure to read the FAQ, docs (fbhelp), and ask questions on the forum. http://www.freebasic.net/wiki/wikka.php?wakka=FaqDOS http://www.freebasic.net/forum/viewforum.php?f=4 > On Sun, Dec 21, 2014 at 2:27 AM, Mercury Thirteen <mercury0x0...@gmail.com> > wrote: >> >> Can anyone can shed some light on why I'm getting these build errors?
