xx Converting QB libraries
« Thread started on: Oct 11th, 2011, 05:28am »

I have recently purchased BBC BASIC for Windows and have converted a program I wrote many years ago. The translation using QB2BBC.exe went well, but I get an error when I try to run the program:

File or path not found.
“INSTALL @lib$+"QBlib" is highlighted.

I have placed both QB.LIB and QB.QBL in the C:\Program Files\ BBC…\Lib directory. What do I need to do?

I assume the program runs successfully if you execute it directly from QB2BBC, but it's only when you try to transfer it into the BBC BASIC for Windows IDE that you get the problem? In that case you'll need to download the file QBLIB.BBC, which can be found here:

http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/bb4w/files/Libraries/QBLIB.BBC

It needs to go into the BB4W Library folder, at the location you mention above. On Windows Vista or Windows 7 you'll need administrator privileges to copy the file there.

It's now 2013 and I've visited the Yahoo site, which states that the BB4W yahoo site is now closed down.

Where can I download the QBLib for converting from QB to BBC Basic?

Thanks

It's closed to new messages, at least until Yahoo fix the more serious bugs in the Neo interface, but the Files area remains accessible. QBLIB.BBC is in the Libraries folder here:

http://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/bb4w/files/Libraries/

One of the (many) annoying features of Neo is that it is apparently no longer possible to link directly to a file, so you'll need to navigate to the file from there.

Thank you for the clarification. I've downloaded the file and also found a lot of interesting subject matter to go through.

Regards
