What to do after the program code is finished and ready to be distributed?

Q. As an example, I have finished writing a BASIC or Java code in a text editor such as notepad. However, the only way I could run it is by clicking 'run' in the IDE. This way, it is impossible to distribute an app to public. What happens next, and how can I be able to run it without the IDE and distribute it to everyone else? How do I also upload an HTML file so that it is publicly available (as a website)?

A. compile it (build). you want an .exe file. I didn't think it would make you a web site too. I think that's up to you to make. learn html5 or html 4.01 oif 5 is too intimidating.

open source software projects on sourceforge.net typically use a wiki now, but you can use html if you want. If this is VB and you don't own the $800+ version of Visual Studio, you can't distribute your software under an Open Source License, with the source, or disclose the source code (Express version). Read the License Agreement / EULA where it says Distribution.

the $800 version isn't so hot either, because you must license it so people run it only on windows OS's.
that means no macs or linux or whatever.

How do I run a exec file and let the batch file carry on?
Q. Or in Linux to run xemacs from the terminal, I would do:
xemacs &

This would launch xemacs and return control to the terminal. I want to do similar in XP's cmd.

Thanks in advance!
"call" doesn't work...
Found the answer. It is e.g.:
start "" notepad.exe

A. It works exactly the same way.

For instance if I put notepad.exe into a line in a batch file, notepad would open and the batch file would be halted until notepad was closed at which time the batch file would resume.

If you want to open a program and then continue the batch without exiting that program, use call.

eg. Call notepad.exe

Linux users if I use a CD that came with a book to install linux and it is missing programs?
Q. Like let's say movie player, or music player, or simple things like calculator, or some sort of notepad. Where can I download them that will work with linux?

A. Linux will generally have a program like Software Center or Synaptic to install the files from their repositories. You open this and type in a search for what you may not have, check the file and click apply and it will install the software for you. There isn't any reason to be doing terminal commands unless it is a file that is not in the repository and to install from the terminal, you must be logged in as root, not user. Most versions of Linux disable the root account to prevent people from messing the operating system up. Some of what you have mentioned are part of the install for the desktop environment being used and don't need to be installed by the user. You can always download a Linux LiveCD and run it in memory to see if it is what you want to install.
