Converting a DOS program to a WINDOWS program

 Converting a DOS program to a WINDOWS program

I am trying to convert a program that was written in BASIC for a DOS
operating system.  I would like to convert it so that it will function as a
WINDOWS program rather than a DOS program running through WINDOWS.  Is
Visual Basic 5 the best program to utilize in this case?  Are there any
shortcuts to make the conversion as easy as possible?

Thanks,

Dan

Depends. You may have to do some rewriting since you will have to
adapt the gut code to the Windows GUI and drop any DOS interface that
was written into the original code.

I think it can be done though. Just will take time and effort.
