Will not work. QP passed items much differently than PB (thinks everything
is in one segment) and PB allows many so it needs to pass information
differently. If you know exactly how things are passed, if BYVAL can do it,
you can trick PB into it, but it really is not worth it. And string can't be
converted, as PB is much more powerful and needs full addresses to the
string, as it is not just in one 64k area, but can be multiple areas.
 No, QB isn't powerful enough for PowerBASIC.
