	QuickBASIC - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Microsoft QuickBASIC (often shortened, correctly, to QB, or incorrectly, to "QBasic", which is a different system) is a descendant of the BASIC programming language that was developed by the Microsoft Corporation for use with the MS-DOS operating system.
		QuickBASIC came with a markedly different Integrated Design Environment (IDE) from the one supplied with previous versions of BASIC.
		The last version of QuickBASIC was version 4.5 (1988), although there was continued development of the Microsoft Basic Professional Development System (PDS), the last release of which was version 7.1 (June 1990).

	How to Pipe ( \| ) Input into a QuickBasic Program (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		This information applies to Microsoft QuickBasic Versions 3.00, 4.00, 4.00b, and 4.50 for MS-DOS, to Microsoft Basic Compiler Versions 6.00 and 6.00b for MS-DOS, and to Microsoft Basic PDS Version 7.00 for MS-DOS.
		Note: You can pipe information into a QuickBasic program, but it is more difficult to pipe information from a QuickBasic program to another program.
		QuickBasic usually does not output information through DOS services but accesses the hardware directly.

		QuickBasic also supports libraries that can be compiled at runtime, but have been previously created.
		QBasic is not entirely the same as QuickBasic, in that some code modification may be necessary to get the QB code to run on QuickBasic, but more importantly, QuickBasic code needs to first be saved in ASCII text format and edited to remove unsupported commands for it to run in QBasic.
		QuickBasic supports two methods of compilation; one that requires a run-time module, and one that creates a stand alone EXE file.

	How to Create Pop-Up Menus in Macintosh QuickBASIC (47782) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		One limitation to QuickBASIC is that the menu items defined with this technique can be selected only with the mouse; COMMAND+key equivalents (such as those defined with the CmdKey MBLC routine) do not function.
		Detecting which menu option was selected must be done by polling the mouse position with a QuickBASIC statement, such as GetMouse, instead of invoking a system event-trapping routine such as GetNextEvent.
		QuickBASIC does not allow programs to use the Macintosh ROM routine GetNextEvent because QuickBASIC traps all events and empties out the event queue before it allows a ToolBox GetNextEvent call to act upon them.

		QuickBasic is kind of the better version of GW-BASIC; QuickBasic included user-defined types, better programming structures, better graphics and disk support also a compiler rather than an interpreter.
		For a pure QuickBasic programmer it wouldn’t be a big issue, but for multi-language programmer it would be a good idea for them to learn languages related to what they’ve learned, for Basic kind languages familiar programmer QuickBasic is kind of easy.
		QuickBasic allowed mix-mode arithmetic and this would occur more run time errors as because mix-mode arithmetic has a greater possibility to occur overflow and outcome might not be significant enough.

	Differences in Coprocessor Error in QuickBasic 4.5 vs. 4.0
		Under QuickBasic 4.0/4.0b, the variable containing the result is unchanged and preserves the value held before the assignment was attempted.
		Under QuickBasic 4.5, the assignment is made even though a RESUME NEXT statement is used to recover from the error.
		Under QuickBasic 4.5 with a math coprocessor present, if the value of X in the above example is positive, then the value of RESULTS will be 1.#INF.

		A QuickBasic function that does not return an argument is called a SUB, while every XBasic function is called a FUNCTION, whether they return an argument or not.
		As I recall, in QuickBASIC you return a value from a function by assigning a value to a variable with the same name as the function.
		I don't remember the scope rules for QuickBASIC very well any more, but all XBasic variables are automatic and local to the function they're in unless they're declared otherwise after the beginning of the function.

	A QuickBASIC Tutorial
		Although the QuickBASIC Programmer’s Manual in general is designed for reference, some topics are not adequately treated by this format.
		In fact, Basmark QuickBASIC subprograms are defined in terms of the C programming language so truly portable bilingual programs can be written in these languages.
		It is often preferable, and more straightforward, to use the same command line for all modules (rather than fool with special switches) and leave the identification of the main module to the code of the main module itself.

		Anyway Quickbasic really is a joke for anything but a learning stage, all my programs were toward the end 90% assembler just to keep the speed down, remember QB is an interpretter and the compiler it ended up throwing in at the last minute is a joke, the speed increase is something rediculous like 20%.

		Though this project requires changes to the XBasic source code, the vast majority of the work would be done by a separate function library that translates QuickBasic source into XBasic source.
		This program is similar to a compiler front-end - it parses QuickBasic source text into symbols and language elements, creates tokens to represent them, puts them in token arrays that correspond to source program lines, and deparses the tokens back to source-code to confirm faithful reproduction of the original source-code text.

		See A Comparison of Basmark QuickBASIC and Microsoft BASIC in the Supplemental Documentation section of this manual for a complete discussion of the differences.
		Basmark QuickBASIC assumes only that an ordinary ASCII terminal is available and that the TERM environment variable is properly set to identify the terminal.
