old c++ programme

[steven1000]

hi. I did this in about 2001 and just found an old floppy disk and was wondering will it work on a new pc?

thanks in advance

Most likely it would, if it gets re-compiled in a newer compiler, as long as it doesn't use 'graphics.h' or some other obsolete library that is no longer supported. Could you show us the code, and maybe someone could either compile it, or tweak it using modern libraries,that do a lot of the same functions as it's older counterpart.

hi. do I need the compiler if it's a finished program? sorry not done c++ for years as you can tell. it was just a text only one. once I get it on a computer I will see if I can extract the code

@steven1000

That I know of, you CAN NOT extract the code from a compiled program. You would need the source code, which was what you used to first compile the code the first time. What happens when you've tried double clicking the file? Error?

will let you know. should be able to try it tomorrow. thanks
