Virtual Machines Rock !
Got 16 bit stuff ?
Create a virtual machine running an older version of Windows
( e.g. XP ) in memory. See Oracle VirtualBox. Very easy, handy and
quick.
I've got 28 great apps written in QuickBasic v4.5, and 14 in Windows
Visual Basic v3 .
I know there is a provision for running things in a compatibility mode
for older versions of Windows, but I could never get it to work.
In the virtual machine I have a desktop with 42 icons. Comes right up
and all apps work great.
Would be nice to have an app to convert all to VB6 which I use
extensively for all ny contenporary stuff.
