Early versions of MS-DOS and PC-DOS included a [[BASIC]] interpreter (basic.exe), followed by [[BASICA]], [[wp:GW-BASIC|GW-BASIC]], and finally [[QuickBASIC#QBasic|QBasic]]. (QBasic wasn't installed by default under Windows 9x; it had to be copied from the install media.) There are compilers and/or interpreters for pretty much every programming language available for DOS.
 
DOS was considered a synonym of '''OS''' in the past. There have been a number of operating systems called "DOS", besides the ones discussed here, many of which are completely different systems. (For a fairly complete list, see [[wp:DOS (disambiguation)|the Wikipedia disambiguation page]].)
