This is part of a new series of videos covering Projects and Design using the PowerBasic Windows compiler. These videos may be longer than the Snippet videos as they cover projects in detail.
This project is to create a Generic Application whose dialogs are specified in an external CSV configuration file. This allows new forms to be created without coding.
Today we are making no code changes but proving that the same executable and configuration files will work under both Windows and Linux Mint (using WINE).
00:00 - Introduction
00:28 - Running under Windows
02:53 - Running in Linux Mint
I don't work for, nor am I paid or sponsored by, the owners of PowerBASIC, I'm just a fan of their products.
