QuickBasic and FullScreen

[Timbergetter]

I was doing quite a bit of QuickBasic programming during the 1990s but this all faded away when computers moved to 64 bit processing and programs moved to GUI.  I have just now discovered the QB64 world and have a sudden desire to resurrect some of my old programs.  The programs are multi file packages and use libraries that I had developed so I am thinking that I will need to spend some time within QuickBasic re-acquainting myself with how the programs worked and doing some massaging to get the code ready for a port to QB64.  I would really like to do this preparatory work with QuickBasic in a full screen mode.  I thought I used to do this with Windows 98, but my attempts now to do this with Windows 98 SE as a VM in Vmware Player have not yet resulted in a full screen mode.  I am hoping that someone might be able to offer advice on how to get QuickBasic IDE running fullscreen on a Player guest OS of some description.  My host OS is Ubuntu 20.04.

Have you looked into running QuickBASIC in DOSBox?

No Pete, I  haven’t.  I’ve never used DOSBox but I’ll certainly give it a try if you think it has prospect.

Update:
DOSBox seems to do everything l am needing with fullscreen.  Many thanks for the pointer Pete.
DOSBox appears to be a better solution than doing it in Player.  I should now be able to toggle between QuickBasic and the VM containing QB64.

Glad it worked out for you.

He doesn't often code in QBasic, but when he does, he uses DOSBox.
He is, the most interesting programmer on the forum!
