Here is what my program does... and doesn't do...

It does run in QuickBasic.

It doesn't run in QB64.

I've always been very impressed by how fast QuickBasic compiles executible programs. It can do 200K in a matter of seconds. C compilers do take longer, but I have never had to wait 45 minutes to an hour, ever. Of course, Ive compiled much smaller C program, probably no more than 40K and those usually took about 1 to 2 minutes.

It would be great if the compiler could return why the compilation failed and give the label or line number. Not having a clue is like looking for a needle in a stack space.

Another frustration is I don't know if I'm close to getting a working program or 100 miles away. With no indocation of what is going wrong, it might be a day to get it working or a month. Lately, I'm getting away from problems that do not offer a reliable estimated time of resolution.

PS: The program is an organizer and yes, it does have a lot of variables, I'd estimate around 200+.
