A All dialects of BASIC are similar, but since BBC BASIC pre-dates and has very different origins from QBASIC there are significant differences between them (BBC BASIC first appeared in 1982, Microsoft QuickBasic in 1985 and QBASIC in 1991). However there is an automated translator QB2BBC which can translate entire QBASIC programs, or just individual statements, to BBC BASIC for Windows.
