Use <>

Yep, using <> is the most generally accepted way of writing "does not equal" in DarkBASIC.

I've never used NOT in IF statements, I'm guessing that could also work but I've heard of some people having problems using it that way.

I tried to use NOT in some cases in my Text Adventure, but it was never recognized. So that doesn't work.

Just use <>, I have used that before, and it does work, even on strings.

That was what I though, <>. Deleted it though, as I was unsure.

Actually I've been thinking about this, and I realized it's probably easier to just use a REPEAT-UNTIL loop:

I once heard that the NOT function had a bug within DBPro. It would only work well with booleans.

NOT is completely unrelated to <>.

NOT inverses the bits of a value.
<> is a logical operator meaning "not equal to".

I believe NOT would work like, NOT 3 > 2. 3 > 2 = true, the NOT just turns it into false.
