QBasic on WINDOWS 98 or XP

[Ralph]

I believe that I am in over my head! Windows executable...does that mean that it will only run under Windows, but not under Linux? So, a file compiled and linked under Windows is not compatible Linux? It's begining to make some sense to me. I guess it's like translating a phrase into Japonese and also into Greek; the Japonese traslation would not be readable to an only Greek-knowing person, nor would the Greek translation be readable to an only Japonese-knowing person. Does this analogy hold for two different operaton systems, such as Windows and Linux?
