    DOS Mode

    How can I run a VB program in DOS mode?

    I would like to write a program to rebuild my hard drive.

    When I boot into dos, I get the message "Cannot run from DOS mode".

    ??????

    Thanx
    Grandpa

    There are versions of VB for Dos, but they are all old & un-supported. You might be able to find one second hand somewhere, or you could use a non-visual language (such as C, C++, Pascal etc).

    Are you just doing file copying, naming and directory mods. If would think it would be easier using a scripting language or DOS batch files ?
