QBasic: History, Contents & Overview

QBasic is an integrated development environment (IDE) and interpreter for a variety of dialects of BASIC which are based on the QuickBASIC compiler and the QuickBASIC Interpreter. Code entered into the IDE is an intermediate representation (IR), and this IR is immediately executed on demand within the IDE.
