Hi,
I´m begginer in FB but i have some knowledge in QB.
All started when I downloaded the DDD ascii version in another site then my interest about FB started.

I have some questions:

The Windows version have the same things that we have on the Dos one, plus the GUI related functions and libs, or we have some bigger diff.??

What´s the difference between FB and QB codes, can I compile a QB program in FB without changes in code, or not????

And about a good IDE for FB???

Thx guys!!!!! I´m not good in english, so please forgot the english mistakes.

Welcome to the FB forums, I hope you can get your questions answered. I will refer you to the offical doc of differences between qb and fb:

http://www.freebasic.net/index.php/about?section=diff

and the Wiki:

http://www.freebasic.net/wiki/wikka.php?wakka=LangQB

mostly just "dirty" code will not work in FB :P but there are a couple of quirks. Try compiling a qb code and if you can't figure it out, just ask.

You alos might want to check out the book I am working on, which you can find in this topic:

http://www.freebasic.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=3910

It has some info on getting started. This is a work-in-progress, hasn't gone through edits yet, and is not complete. However, several people have told me it has been helpful, even in its current poor condition.

I see you d/l'ed DDD. I hope you liked it. I need to work on that and clean up some bugs. When I get done with the book, I plan on going through DDD and do some clean up on it.

For an IDE you can find FBIDE at this site, which is pretty cool.
