AI Thread Summary
MatrixVB.dll is a math library for Visual Basic that users are seeking for free download, but it is a commercial product from MathWorks, making it unavailable for legal free distribution. The discussion also diverges into how to access GWBASIC on a Windows XP computer, with users suggesting using the Command Prompt to run old DOS programs. There is confusion about locating the Command Prompt, with suggestions to check under Accessories or use the Run command. The thread highlights the challenges of accessing legacy software and the importance of respecting software licensing. Ultimately, the request for MatrixVB.dll is discouraged due to its commercial status.

Not meant to hijack this thread!

I have some old programs I wrote in GWBASIC. I no longer own the computer that had an old version of Windows on it that could emulate DOS and run the programs. Is there some sneaky way to get a Windows XP computer into a C:> prompt such that I could execute good old fashioned GWBASIC?

Okay, so I'm too cheap to upgrade to Visual Basic. :rolleyes:

I don't know about a sneaky way, there is however a very straight forward way. Command prompt is on the start menu and last time I checked it will still run the old DOS Qbasic (I haven't tried gwbasic however).
 
Call me STUPID & IGNORANT if you care to.

Do you literally mean I should be looking for the words "Command prompt"? Under Accessories maybe? I'm just not seeing it anywhere in Start.

ADDED LATER: Maybe the 'Run' bit of Start?

It may depend upon the particular version of Windows you are running. On my "Windows ME" (now outdated and I am going to replace it), I can go to "Programs", "Accessories" and find "MS-Dos Prompt".
 
Hit Start->Run, type "command.exe" (or just "command") and hit enter.

And, since matrixvb is a commercial product from the MathWorks, I need to close this thread. We don't condone piracy here.
