help: looking for a converter... by wolf89 on 05-30-2004 at 04:09 PM

Hi!

I've created quite many programs with liberty basic and now I'd like to share them with people, who don't have basic or liberty basic on their machines so now I'm looking for a .bas to .exe converter or a .tkn to .exe converter

I would be very happy if someone would tell me where to get such a thing, because I don't know where to look anymore (I've done a quite massive search for it :D)

What is liberty basic and what code does it write? VB? C++?

Basic is a programming language just like C and has known many evolutions. It started off with GWBasic, QBasic, QuickBasic, VisualBasic and recently has evolved into many slangs. It's popular because it's so bare easy to use. As the name suggests, its a very basic and high level programming language which is a great way to start learning about programming for starters.
The downside is that it's not at all very flexible and hasn't got the ability to do just what C and C++ or Delphi etc can. Which are alot lower level languages.

It writes Liberty Basic code... It's yet another variant of "basic" (like there are hundreds, VB is one of them...)

That's not completely correct. It didn't start with GWBasic. Basic was made a long time before that and has known already many variants before that, it isn't "recent" that variants appeared. Variants appeared as soon as the first basic-language was developed for the very first (home)computers... But anyways, DJeX did get the idea I suppose... ;)

Yeah.. I knew that, but I couldn't name the previous ones and that's as far as my memory / experience goes.. =)
Aahhh you've got to love those good old days.. =)

that text there was meant for liberty basic 2
although there's a slight difference in LB2's and LB4's (that's what I have) DLL's, I got the idea and I got it running nicely (Y)

again... thanks :D
