CHAIN command not working
#1
I had someone contact me about using the CHAIN command and not being able to get it to work for them. They sent me their source code and after a few rewrites I can't get it to work either? QB64 continuously complains that it can't find QB64.bas two parent directories below the current working directory.

This also happens regardless if I'm using two .BAS programs from within the editor or using two compiled .EXE files outside the editor as pointed out by the CHAIN Wiki entry.

Has anyone been able to successfully use the CHAIN command? If so, please post some example code so I can see what I may be doing wrong.

For now I gave the user that contacted me other ways of achieving their goal without using CHAIN. I also explained to this user that CHAIN is really no longer needed as it's a relic from the golden age of BASIC, however I would still issue a possible bug report all the same.
