OLD MSX BASIC

[uaas]

I Have a program written in 1986 in an MSX BASIC compatible computer, and I'd like to run it now that I have an XP operating system, I also have Visual studio 6.

How can I do for converting the program and run it?

Did you already try running it from a command prompt?

How can I try it, it has a format like this:

Attribute VB_Name = "Module1"
5 Cls
6 Rem *Introducir clave y separar cocientes y restos*
10 INPUT a
20 For i = 0 To a - 1
30 INPUT x$(i)
32 If i = 0 Then GoTo 40
35 Let r(i) = Val(Right$(x$(i), 1))
36 Let y(i) = Val(Left$(x$(i), Len(x$(i)) - 1))
40 Next i

so how can I do that??

You could always run it with a copy of QBasic (interpreter) that was included in DOS 5.0 and up.

There are dozens of free BASIC compilers and interpreters available - just Google for FREE BASIC
