 vbdos on an XT

I am having a little problem and was wondering if anyone knew what was
going on.

I am trying to compile a Visual Basic for Dos program for a IBM XT with
640K ram.  

I am doing my development on a 486 and there is no problem running in on
that platform, but when I try to run it on the XT it hangs.

So I guess I have two questions.
        1. can this be done and if so how do you do it?

        2. if not, what other interface builder would work for an XT?

thanks for any help
Please post here or e-mail me

Hi jonas,

I think that you should not have any problem running you app on a XT.

I have written a VBDOS database app that I use on my HP100LX palmtop.
The HP100LX is a 186 type DOS machine, that I set up with something like
384k memory.  I am using it regularly and have no problems running it.  

I developed the application on a 386 machine and then recompiled it
using BC compiler using /O /E options.  I never tried using the
VBDOS executable directly, since I think it contains a lot of debug
information.  So, try the BC compiler and give it another try.

Kees.
