Quick Basic

When I wanted a copy of QuickBasic, not yesterday, but not so long ago, I was able to download it from the Internet. As far as I know Microsoft has released it for all to use. It is, however, not supported in any way. You can find the interpreted version on some versions of MSDOS; I believe DOS 5 contains it. What I got from the Internet was QB4.5 and a professional version 7.X. If it has ceased to be available I can send a copy if it has really been opened to public distribution. I must just find a set of diskettes. I know I have 4.5 but I am not so sure I can locate QB 7. If I get too many requests, I will ask those getting it from me to fulfill the condition of passing it on to others asking!!! Shareware=share the responsibility! Bob PS Warning; stay away from those versions of Visual Basic offered as free on CDs. I loaded one of these, it gave me NO WARNING as it told me I needed some components it would have to download from the Internet and then it dumped a bunch of junk on my hard disk, including substituting a new and unwanted "Desktop" and changed my Internet browser to something else, even less wanted than the new Desktop. Windows was never normal after that.
