So I was looking around my MSDN account


Question

QuickBASIC 4.5 :D

I downloaded it just for the hell of it. Now I am in heaven :D

Man I love this **** heh, takes me back to my youth (and I am only 20 lol).

Not really on topic for this forum but any old skool BASIC programmer will know what I mean :)

QB4.5 was nice....but to be really awsome you got to use Visual Basic v1.0 for DOS...its actually useful! A nice tool to create DOS GUIs!

Ahh I've used VBDOS and QB4.5.

I remember when I finally got hold of a bootleg copy of QB4.5 (it was still being sold) and was amazed at how I could actually COMPILE my QB programs! Corr I felt so naughty doing it with a pirated copy.

Cool, I was under the impression that it didn't work in XP.

It seems to work just fine :yes:

I couldn't be arsed to make the 5 floppies so I just copied all the files into 1 directory and it worked (just like software should! heh). It is really good actually because I need to write some DOS applications soon for my new Ghost Delivery System at work. A good reason to use it :woot:

Yes yes Gorillas, the QB1 demo program! Actually taught you a bit about trajectories and such, educational as well as damn fun!

QBasic was cool! It was basic that got me started in computers ohh way back when. Anyone remember Amos on the Amiga? :)

Qbasic was my first programming language ever. I still use it when i have tons of time to spend on the laptop. Its just plain fun.

But i reccomend Qbasic 7, it has more compiling features and a better help file.
