I kept thinking that there was a separate QuickBasic compiler that one
had to purchase, but then I couldn't think of why you'd buy QBasic, when
you got QBasic. I guess that spells it out.

Well, I should have checked before responding. Here is more (correct)
detail:
1) QBasic is not QuickBasic; QBasic came with DOS, QuickBasic was a more
extensive, separate product.
2) QuickBasic got to version 4.5 in 1988.
3) Versions 1 (1991) through 3 (1993) of Visual Basic were available for
DOS (as well as Windows).
QuickBasic was based on a GUI, albeit in character mode.
