I don’t remember the details, but QB was an IDE with compiler, like any IDE/compiler suite. Building an exe was a menu command, I think.

- blattimwind 9y agoYou could generate a stand-alone exe, which contained a copy of a VM, or an exe which required BRUN45.EXE to be present, which was the VM. The advantage of the latter option is that you save a lot of disk space (iirc like 40 kB) for multiple programs, since you only need to have a single copy of BRUN45.
- psyc 9y agoWow, I didn’t realize it was a bytecode+vm system until now. That explains why the “compiled” exes did not seem faster.
