Message: [QUOTE="Karl E. Peterson, post: 6932311"] ..Not at all! :-) MSBasic offered forward-compatability for a quarter-century! With the near-singular exception of platform-specific i/o methods, GW/QB code loaded/ran just fine in VB6, ugly line numbers and all. That's what happens when the vendor partners with the customer, to insure the soundness of the customer's investment. Well, no, but it is sort of the antithesis of nocturnal aviation, er, consulting. <g> Of course code benefited from being revisited as it was brought forward. But the point remains, it *ran*, so you could immediately get to work on improving it rather than wasting time debugging it all over again, and again, and again. Working *is* a feature! :-) Later...
