SUMMARY
The RUN and CHAIN statements are different for compiled programs than for interpreted programs. In the interpreter, the CHAIN and RUN statements only load and run BASIC source files. In compiled programs, CHAIN and RUN only load and run applications that have been previously compiled.

CHAIN and RUN cannot be used to run applications prepared with assemblers or compilers other than QuickBASIC Version 1.00. You cannot CHAIN or RUN between programs compiled with the Microsoft BASIC Compiler Version 1.00 and the newer QuickBASIC Version 1.00. You can only CHAIN or RUN between applications compiled with a given version of the compiler.
