'''QuickBASIC''' is a [[:Category:BASIC|BASIC]] compiler/interpreter for [[DOS]] and [[OS/2
The final product in the QuickBASIC line was '''QuickBASIC Extended 7.1''', also called '''Microsoft BASIC Professional Development System 7.1''' or '''QBX'''. (According to [[wp:QuickBASIC|Wikipedia's QuickBASIC entry]], the QBX IDE did not run under OS/2.)
It should be noted that while QuickBASIC is not 100% compatible with [[BASICA]] and [[:Category:GW-BASIC|GW-BASIC]] (the interpreters included with older versions of DOS), ''most'' BASICA/GW-BASIC commands work identically. (If a program is marked as working with GW-BASIC, there is a strong chance that it will work in QuickBASIC. The QuickBASIC help file includes a side-by-side comparison of incompatible features of the languages.)
==Macintosh==
A version of QuickBASIC was released for the [[Mac OS|Macintosh]], but it doesn't run on anything newer than System 7 (and even there has some limitations) and is therefore limited to [[wp:Motorola 68000 family|m68k]] machines. (For non-Mac users, this is somewhat similar to a Windows program being able to run under [[Windows]] 3.x and Win9x, but not WinNT.)
The Mac version was canceled after version 1.00, likely due to lack of sales.
