This article was previously published under Q47511 SUMMARY
When writing a mixed-language program utilizing modules written in
either Microsoft QuickBasic or Microsoft Basic Compiler, Basic must be
the start-up controlling language. This step is necessary to activate
the Basic language run-time support code.
For example, if a mixed-language program uses both C and QuickBasic
modules, then QuickBasic must be the controlling language. Thus, C
cannot call QuickBasic without QuickBasic first calling C.
This information applies to Microsoft QuickBasic Versions 4.00, 4.00b,
and 4.50 for MS-DOS, to Microsoft Basic Compiler Versions 6.00 and
6.00b for MS-DOS and MS OS/2, and to Microsoft Basic PDS Version 7.00
for MS-DOS and MS OS/2.
