Vintage BASIC and its source code are provided here free of charge via the BSD license. If you have any problems with or praise for Vintage BASIC, please let me know at lyle@vintage-basic.net. I could also use some help building binary packages for Linux and Mac.

Binary Versions
Microsoft QuickBasic, not to be confused with the lesser QBasic, was a Basic interpreter and compiler product loosely based on GW-Basic.Version 2.0 for DOS and later included an Integrated Development Environment. Serial number e product key revit 2017.
Microsoft Windows
- vintage-basic-1.0.3-win32-setup.exe (32-bit Windows)
- vintage-basic-1.0.3-win64-setup.exe (64-bit Windows)
The 32-bit version will work on 64-bit editions of Windows, so pick that one if you are not sure. The 64-bit version can be used to run programs that use more than 4GB of RAM. If you already have Vintage BASIC installed and are upgrading, uninstall the old version first.
Download and run the setup program, either 32- or 64-bit. It will install Vintage BASIC, give you a shortcut to open a command prompt, set up your PATH, and associate .bas files with Vintage BASIC. To work with Vintage BASIC, edit files with any text editor, such as Notepad, Atom, or VS Code. A good place to save them is in C:UsersYourName. Then to run them, open up a Command Prompt, either by opening on the Vintage BASIC Prompt shortcut, or the Command Prompt shortcut. Then run your program either by typing vintbas yourprogram.bas, or just typing yourprogram.bas.
Open Qbasic 64
macOS (64-bit Intel)
Unzip it: and add the vintage-basic-1.0.3/bin directory to your $PATH.
Generic Linux (Intel, 64-bit)
First untar it: Then if you have root access, you can move the files to someplace global, e.g.: or if you don't, install install them in your home directory: If you install them in your home directory, make sure you put ~/bin in your $PATH. The binary is statically linked, and was compiled on Ubuntu 16.04.
Source Version
To compile the source requires the Haskell compiler GHC. It is recommended that you use the build tool Stack. If you use that, you will only need to install Stack - it will download and install the right version of the compiler for you.
You can download the source code tarball, vintage-basic-1.0.3.tar.gz, from either vintage-basic.net or Hackage. Or, you can check the source out from Github with Git using the command:
Qbasic Download 64 Bit
You should first unpack the tarball using a tool such as tar, 7-Zip or WinZip. Then open a shell/console in the vintage-basic-1.0.3 directory, and type:

What is QBasic/QuickBASIC?
QBasic as well as QuickBasic is an easy-to-learn programming language (and therefore ideal for beginners), based on DOS operating system, but also executable on Windows.
Differences between QBasic and QuickBasic: QBasic is the slimmed-down version of QuickBasic. Compared to QuickBasic, QBasic is limited as it lacks a compiler. Therefore QBasic cannot be used to produce executables (.exe files). The source code (usually files with .bas extension) can only be executed immediately by the built-in QBasic interpreter. Furthermore, QuickBasic has a more extensive command set than QBasic.
