AboutAlex Barry Expertise I have been a qbasic programmer since 2000, creating games, minor libraries and various small programs. I have experience using interrupts, graphics, file input/output, the mouse cursor, and using libraries. I have also learned FreeBASIC, c/c++, python, php and html.
I do not claim to be an absolute authority in any language, but I don't mind looking things up and learning with you.
Experience Hobby programming since 2000
I no longer belong to any community programming groups, but do have knowledge of *basic dialects and C/C++
The short answer is no, there is no Qbasic version that is specifically built for windows vista. The last Qbasic release, to the most of my knowledge, was in the late 1980's.
There is, however, a solution, but it will take a few steps to get QBasic running.
1) Download DOSBox ( http://www.dosbox.com/download.php?main=1 )
If you are not overly familiar with DOSBox, you may want to download a front-end, which are listed in the second box.
2) Download any version of QBasic, and put it in [main drive]:\DOS\QBasic
3) Set DOSBox up to automatically mount [main drive]:\DOS\QBasic
4) Open QBasic up through dosbox, and you're all set.
I don't know much about DOSBox if you run into a problem with it, but there is a forum on the website that may be able to help you out.
