What is the difference between QBasic and QuickBasic?
A – QBasic lets you run programs that you write as long as QBasic is loaded. QuickBasic is similar to QBasic, but it could only be obtained by purchasing a license from Microsoft. QuickBasic has some more language features and also lets you create a program that can run by itself. It does this by compiling (another word for translating) your program into machine language.
