I would like to add to that... Anyone who has tried it, even C, C++ and
C/C++ programmers, will have to admit that it's a dream to program in
Qbasic when you don't want to do anything graphical. No type declaration,
no more than some 100 functions to know, ... Just type what you want, in
English! Sure, the possibilities are limited, but heck, it reads like a
novel!
Man I loved that language :-)

Peter.
