Isn't QBASIC delivered even to this day with
Windows systems? That's a
much
nicer basic, and it features online help, which is
great for kids.
No BASIC of any kind from Win95 on up.

Since my only Windows machine is de-electrified right now, I can't test that,
but I am certain that I've run QBASIC on it. Would anyone sitting at one try
that from a prompt?

QBASIC was at least delivered on the WIN98 first ed. CD in a
separate directory D:\TOOLS\OLDMSDOS
The other alternative obviously would be Visual Basic 6+

FIND...nope but it is on my Windows 3.11 machine, as it came with DOS
6.22...

It's on the CD on 95, 98, and (I believe) 98SE, but it doesn't install to
HDD. You have to copy it manually.

QBASIC is on my NT 4.0 box. It lives in \winnt\system32. It
seems to be gone from Win2K though.
7:14 p.m.
My CD-ROM is a special release for educational institutions and
may have the PLUS CD incorporated !

Just checked the Win98 install I have on Virtual PC and
there's not a BASIC interpreter included that I can find. There's
not one included with PC-DOS 7.0/PC-DOS 2000 either, though QBAISC is
included with NT 4.0. I've found that the PowerBASIC compiler works
great under all versions of DOS and Windows though. I've been using
it for over 10 years now after switching to it from TurboBasic.
