QBasic 4.5 (Full)

Create your Basic Program by using QBasic 4.5 (Full)

QuickBASIC Program run mainly in MS-DOS 5 mode and can create a simple application in DOS environment. QB is an Integrated Development Environment (or IDE) and compiler for the BASIC programming language that was developed by Microsoft.

QuickBASIC continues to be used in some schools, usually as part of an introduction to programming, though it is fast becoming replaced by more popular compilers.It also has an unofficial community of hobby programmers who use the compiler to write games, GUIs and utilities in DOS Mode. But Nowadays, Programmers often use DOS emulators, such as DOSBox, to run QuickBASIC on Linux and on modern hardware that no longer supports the compiler

Recently, a set of TCP/IP routines for QuickBASIC v4.5 and 7.1 has revitalized some interest in the software. In particular, the vintage computer hobbyist community has been able to write software for old computers that run DOS, allowing these machines to access other computers through a LAN or the internet. This has allowed systems even as old as an 8088 to serve new functions, such as acting as a Web server or using IRC Internet Relay Chat our best example client is mIRC.

Microsoft's Visual Basic was the successor of QuickBASIC. Other compilers, like PowerBASIC and FreeBASIC, have varying degrees of compatibility. QB64, a multiplatform QuickBASIC compiler, is being developed and aims to be 100% compatible according to wikipedia.
