I am only a student.
I wrote what I did because it surprised me that somebody is requesting QB64PE without an IDE, while people with another programming system have been groveling for one for many years. Another thing is there are a lot of editors with source code available out there but none of them could be fixed in a short time to be a substitute for the QB64 IDE. I mean, a replacement IDE which is part of QB64PE.
The QB64 IDE is an amazing thing despite its differences from the QuickBASIC one. Such as the most annoying one, its complaining as soon as something is typed which is a syntax error or something else only because I didn't finish typing in the line! The Free Pascal developers did a nice job with the IDE that apes the one in Turbo Pascal which is also cross-platform.
The thing about 64-bit and EXE file sizes is harder to tackle. Must make sure there is enough space. Never mind that Linux distros are still being built which image is 16MB, and forget what the Linux From Scratch book says about reducing it, to get anything like MS-DOS Shell v4 working!
