If it was originally for DOS, why is it called Visual BASIC? Every BASIC
form (I know of) has visual elements to it (e.g. PRINT, PLOT, CIRCLE, FILL

It actually has a text windowing library. It's pretty neat for what it

whereas
(as I understand it) Visual Basic is only available for modern
computers.
Visual Basic 1.0 is for DOS and Microsoft PDS 7.1 and QuickBASIC 4.5 can
be found on various abandonware sites. Interesting note - QB45 is
available via the MSDN, but PDS71 isn't.
