The only way I see to solve the problem is to install the original Quick Basic 4.5 and then see what's going wrong.

Well, Quick Basic 4.5 still worked for me under Windows XP. Someone should try it.

The Discord user said it worked for him (Where?)

I have qb45 still on an old laptop, I will try to open this up in it and see it it can recover any source.

EDIT: Nope.  QB45 says 'Bad file mode', like Cobalt said the discord guy said it did for him.  I have a couple home-brew tools that handles compressed BAS files, will run those on it and see what happens.

Well he said that anything that could be salvaged from it would be appreciated. I was going to try to hack the QB64 converter so it capped any erroneous values and forced an output so at least there would be something but, if you have something already that might do that all the better.
