-
- 1) DO NOT try to run BASIC or BASICA under OS/2 if you do not have an IBM BIOS.
-
- 2) Boot a DOS diskette using the Boot from Drive A object in the Command
- Prompts folder. You can then use GWBASIC from there.
-
- 3) Create a diskette with DOS and GWBASIC. Have it's autoexec.bat call GWBASIC
- at init. Use VMDISK to create a diskette image. Create an object with the
- DOS_STARTUP_DRIVE = filename of the diskette image you just created. You
- can then run GWBASIC to your heart's delight.
-
- 4) Use QBASIC.EXE in the bootdrive:\OS2\MDOS directory.
-
- Any of these options will do fine.
