0 neogort Posted June 9, 2004 Share Posted June 9, 2004 It was so fun writing hundreds of lines of code that can be written with one or two lines nowadays ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 sHARD>> Posted June 9, 2004 Share Posted June 9, 2004 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Rob Veteran Posted June 9, 2004 Veteran Share Posted June 9, 2004 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 matt74441 Posted June 9, 2004 Share Posted June 9, 2004 Cool, I was under the impression that it didn't work in XP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 morganpugh84 Posted June 9, 2004 Author Share Posted June 9, 2004 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: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Rob Veteran Posted June 10, 2004 Veteran Share Posted June 10, 2004 Yes yes Gorillas, the QB1 demo program! Actually taught you a bit about trajectories and such, educational as well as damn fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 umerh Posted June 12, 2004 Share Posted June 12, 2004 those days of QBasic were very nice... no sort of XML Webservices... no tension... it was nice using all that QBasic and GWBasic. Umer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Ruffneckting Posted June 12, 2004 Share Posted June 12, 2004 QBasic was cool! It was basic that got me started in computers ohh way back when. Anyone remember Amos on the Amiga? :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 moeburn Posted June 14, 2004 Share Posted June 14, 2004 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
