And it sucked!!!!!!!!!!
As for QuickBasic for DOS, it ended with version 4.5... sort of.
There was a professional version, called PDS, which ended at version 7.1

There actually was a Visual Basic for DOS product. It was very much
like
Visual Basic V1 execpt that everything was in character mode. It
supported
menus, listboxes, comboboxes, and like like without graphics.

Max,
There was a Microsoft QuickBasic for DOS. I believe it got up to at
least version 4.0. I used it long ago on a project or two.
You probably can find a cheap (~$20?) copy of this at some used
software
store, like Half Price Software.
