Really happy to see this project is still going strong with an active community.

Long may it continue :-)

Awesome, thanks Doc. fblite switch didn't do it but should be good with the old compiler.

So anyway I turn my back for 2 mins any everyone disappears form my site.. ok, so maybe it was more than 2 mins?!

Hi all,
I have some old FB code I wrote in v0.15 I just want to make a tweak to and quickly recompile. I tried with the latest version 0.4.something but got too many errors, and I really don't want to go through and update it all. Anywhere I can still download 0.15?

Thanks :)

Hi guys, quick question..

Are there any issues running FB progs on Vista/Win7, either 32/64 bit I should be aware of?

Cheers

Thanks for all the advice guys, I'll let you know how I get on (and will likely be back soon with more questions) :)

@anonymous1337: Cool, thanks. What I decided to do instead was include a URL shortcut with the game which points to http://piptol.qbasicnews.com/guides.htm and from there, ppl can find your guide. This means if you update it and I don't have to worry about making sure my copy is the most recent. v2....

Old-skool fantasy/strategy game Kingdoms has received a FreeBASIC makeover, 5 years after the original QB release. So now it's a fully fledged Win32 game, the same game you know and love with a few new surprises! This version adds some new characters to help or hinder your Ablyssian adventures, ther...
