SUMMARY

The compile option "Launch after compile" in QuickBasic will not function correctly under Macintosh System 7. The particular error depends upon the hardware.

MORE INFORMATION

On the Apple Quadra computer, the binary version of QuickBasic will abort with an error of type 3 on System 7. The decimal version of QuickBasic will not abort, but the application will not launch after compilation.

For all other hardware, the "Launch after compile" option will not result in an error, but the application will not launch after compilation, and you will be returned to the QuickBasic editor environment.

Note that to run QuickBasic on the Quadra or any other hardware with 32-bit addressing, you must first turn off the 32-bit addressing and restart the computer.
