HOMEPAGE QBASIC & QUICKBASIC & FREE BASIC MORE PROGRAMS
Beware DOS programs such as all these may no longer run with modern CPUs or flat screen
monitors unless you install the free Dosbox from http://dosbox.sourceforge.net/ MORE LINKS
In
this age dominated by Windows, it is surprising there is still an interest in
DOS programs such as those created by QBASIC, and the expanded compiler version
QUICKBASIC. Shareware distributors will often no longer handle DOS programs.
Here some programs produced by either me or others. Some of mine are based on
early programs produced by the UK BBCBASIC. See the separate page of BBC BASIC
on the programs page. You may do whatever you wish with the code below. It can
be viewed with any ASCII viewer such as NOTEPAD. QBASIC can be found in
OLDDOS.EXE from ftp://ftp.microsoft.com/softlib/MSLFILES/ QuickBasic to enable you to compile the code
into EXE files that still work under Windows, is available from various sites.
You can also compile BAS files by dragging the file onto a free compiler, with
a few modifications, download it from http://www.freebasic.net/ Download
