Problem starting BC.Exe in DOS 5.02

I cannot obviously compile BC.EXE since it is the compiler used to compile a QB .bas program.
I can't find a fpu emulator and the 486 has no fpu so therefore we are going to scrap the whole entire machine.

(only proves I need a Pentium class or later)
BC cannot be compiled, that is the command line compiler that is called or can be called from both the IDE and DOS.

I wrote that an FPU isn't necessary because QuickBasic automatically emulates these functions. This function is in one of the LIB files.

It also doesn't need a Pentium. My first computer still had an 8086 CPU and there were no problems, whether with Modula, QuickBasic, QuickC and so on. Compiling QB programs even worked without any problems under WinXP, only from Vista was the end.

I'm really wondering what you're doing now. Look at the screenshot. If these files are present it must work, otherwise the problem is yourselves.
