programs compiled in 32 bit version, not working under 64 bit AMD64

Do you have the dependencies installed in 32bit?

I haven't checked that but do you believe that it could affect the
operation under the 64 bit version of the O/S since there's no problem with
dosemu that I know of under the 32 bit O/S.

In fact it reminds me of the problem we had many years back before DOS 3.1
was released.
Previously, access to sub-directories was not working.

Yes, you answered your own question

"Is this because under the AMD64 bit version the directory structure is giving a problem and needs recompiling under a 64 bit compiler such as the one at qb64.net?"

32bit compiled programs usually not playing at all in 64bit OS.

For example, here in Launchpad we have 3 different compilers. When you sent a source code , Launchpad Virtual compilers , compile the binary on 3 different architectures.. 32bit, 64bit and armf.

Thanks NikTh

The only problem is that I'm still using the only compiler that works with
the DOS version of the programs and this makes use of Microsoft's 1986 QB
1.02 (16 bit) compiler.

That's why I mentioned the issue with chaining programs under
qb64<http://qb64.net>
.

According to Microsoft chaining in BASIC

1. stops the first program
2. loads the 2nd program into memory.
3. the 2nd program starts to run.

In QB64 step one still doesn't take place when last tested.

So each time you chain a program using QB64 it leaves a preceding version
running in memory which in a typical business management session could mean
there are multiple programs running and each has to be exited before
shutting down.

And of course it eventually becomes extremely confusing as to which program
was the last to be used.

Any other ideas how to solve the problem?
