QBasic and QuickBasic are related, but not the same. QuickBasic was compiled to an EXE. QBasic was only interpreted. I never used QBasic, but I used QuickBasic

QBasic and QuickBasic are related, but not the same. QuickBasic was compiled to an EXE. QBasic was only interpreted. I never used QBasic, but I used QuickBasic extensively and remember when v.4.5 came out. I still have my QuickBasic manual, which I just can't allow myself to throw out.
- deckard1 9y agoAs someone that loved QuickBASIC, it irks me when people confuse it with QBasic. QBasic was Microsoft's answer to "what should we do with GW-BASIC to make it feel fresh again?" Whereas QuickBASIC was a serious tool.
