I have a very old Quick Basic program that I use to generate random numbers that is very useful for a certain application of mine.
The problem is that the program runs in 16 bit mode, and is rejected by Windows 7 - 64 professional.
I do not want to use DosBox, since that would complicate things, and I also do not want to use .NET since it would require downloading all the framework needed for that small program to run in any computer.
Is there a Basic or VB-like language out there that I could use to write the code, compile, and generate a small executable in at least 32-bit mode, so that it could easily run in Win7/64 ?
I don't need fancy dialog boxes or anything, I just want to run the program from the command prompt. The program would then report a series of calculated numbers
