So anywho, Qbasic was the MS answer to C-basic which was a semi compiled
non line number dependent basic. Qbasic is not fully compiled to native
machine assembly language. I know this as I still maintain a PC app
written in Qbasic (as recently as last week)! Qbasic also tried to copy
the Borland "IDE" <Integrated Development Environment> used the
Turbo<insert
language here> they had for z80 and later PCs, in that you could edit, run
interpretively and then compile the working result.
IMHO, an outstanding piece of software. I still use it when I need a quick and dirty
solution.
