QuickBasic Software

[Jack]

I was at the MSDN site recently and discovered taht MS had repackaged
QuickBasic 4.50 in September, 1990. Is this still available from them? If
not, does anyone have knowledge where this can be found? MS had also
released another version of QuickBasic that came after 4.50 which included
some extension to this language. They labeled this version 7.1 and called it
PDS. Has anyone used this? What are the differences between 4.50 and 7.1
(if any)? Thanks.

hi Jack,

QuickBasic 4.50 in September, 1990.

whoa. History

Is this still available from them?

It's listed as download in the MSDN.

MS had also
released another version of QuickBasic that came after 4.50 which included
some extension to this language. They labeled this version 7.1 and called it
PDS. Has anyone used this? What are the differences between 4.50 and 7.1
(if any)?

I can't remember the details, but I used Basic PDS (Professional
Development System imho), because it could use more then one code and
data segment.
