| Brandon | QBASIC vs FreeBASICIt's been pretty dead around here, nothing sparks activity like a good debate. So which langauge is better and why? | 2010-08-25 | 8:30 PM |

| Brandon | Re:QBASIC vs FreeBASICThere are many IDEs for FB available. | 2010-08-26 | 6:02 PM |
| Jason | Re:QBASIC vs FreeBASICmaybe i am just used to qb | 2010-08-26 | 8:05 PM |
| HorvatM | Re:QBASIC vs FreeBASICI prefer QB as it's closer to standard BASIC and I love the IDE and documentation.
I recently had a nightmarish experience with BC.EXE (QB's compiler) though. In short, code that worked in the interpreter compiled incorrectly and made the resulting EXE crash. I tried FBC and it compiled correctly (sort of), but because of the subtle differences between -lang qb and real QB it wasn't acceptable (and FBC makes DPMI EXEs only which are way larger than QB's real mode EXEs). So I had to make a series of hacks to my code (through careful monitoring accomplished by writing a log file) to make it work when compiled. (I used QB 4.5. QBX 7.1 produced the same results.)
QB makes it really easy to debug stuff though. | 2010-08-27 | 4:35 AM |
