Everyone, Does anyone on the list know where I can download a copy of either a) Microsoft GW-Basic b) Microsoft QBASIC I find these languages easy to use to test out hardware. Very quick development time, etc. TIA, Brad

Look on your Windows CD under Tools/Oldmsdos folder. Qbasic V1.0 is there.

BASIC does some things, but the capabilities of an integrated MACRO editor, faster interpreted execution, inline assembler and the ability to target compile to concise .COM code in F-PC outshine it IMO. -- Cheers, Paul B.

Hi, try http://www.microsoft.com (supplementary disk or whatever). However, you must answer a question beforehand: Where do you want to go today?
