where is qbasic?
- mwally 13y agoIn the MS-DOS Executive, click the A-Drive, and the double-click on BASICA.EXE (Basic Advanced). QBasic didn't come until MS-DOS 5, the demo uses MS-DOS 2.

- tanzam75 13y ago> QBasic didn't come until MS-DOS 5, the demo uses MS-DOS 2. Actually, the demo is PC-DOS 2.0, not MS-DOS 2.0. Notice the disk that's in the emulator's drive. Also, IBM replaced all of Microsoft's copyright notices: The IBM Personal Computer DOS Version 2.00 (C)Copyright IBM Corp 1981, 1982 1983 If they're using real disk images, then they must have an actual IBM ROM BASIC in the emulator. PC-DOS BASIC(A) would only run on a true-blue IBM machine, because it called into the ROM BASIC. In contrast, MS-DOS BASIC(A) was implemented entirely in software and would run on any clone.

- jacob019 13y agoCheck out the windows 3.0 demo in the first comment. Qbasic is the first thing I found there. Had so much fun w/ qbasic, writing polysonic songs for the little pc speaker, hacking up GORILLAS.BAS, which WORKS!!!!
