QBASIC for Win10

[Richard Frost]

From the comments I see here, it isn't worth trying, esp. not when I have and still use QB4.5.
4.5 is excellent for starting a project - faster development without the compile delay.  When
a project is far advanced, THEN I switch to 64 for the speed and additional capabilties.  I can
use 4.5 directly on the XP computer or under DOSBox with Win10.

If I didn't have 4.5 I'd find/download MS QBASIC, not some crippled clone.  No graphics?  Blarg!

This does not work:

for x = 1 to 25
print "Test"
next x

This works:
FOR x = 1 TO 25
PRINT "Test"
NEXT x


So forget It !

Yeah, if you call your app QBasic and put it in the MS Store, it better be like the QBasic from DOS or it's a lie and being put in the MS Store doesn't say much for them either. Demand your money back ;-))

Of course here, it would be slightly hypocritical to press the issue ie a bad idea!

Unless of course QBasic means Quack Basic.

Better watch too, with it being an asian made product there is probably malicious code hiding out some where to steal information.

fine...

Not for being Asian, but for being from an unknown developer - most of our users go through the same fear.

Asian members of this forum: the opinion above is Cobalt's individually.

I guess I have to side with Cobalt's opinion.

Last I heard, Russia, China and N Korea are in Asia and those folks might be devious about what code gets exported from their countries, true we all have to live with propaganda of our own counties. But which countries exercise most control over Internet access?

Just please do not generalize it enough so our Indian friends, for example, who are Asians, will get offended. Let political talk make its way into the off topic board, and even then, let us not be bigoted.

+1. Never good to generalize.

[bplus]

Sorry, I don't think of India as part of Asia. I suppose population wise, big mistake.

OK no Asian generalizations from me anymore.

Ah so, the lettering might be Japanese.

"Woke." Same great impact as stupid, but only half the syllables.

Interesting flare-up to occur on December 7th by the way...

Is that the day the Indians attacked Mini Pearl? Sorry, Fell has me all confused.
