Where can I find it?


Back to QBasic FAQ Main Page.

• If you have DOS 5.0 to DOS 6.22, then you will find all the QBasic files in the DOS directory C:\DOS\.
• If you have Windows 95, then you will find it on the original CD-ROM under: D:\WIN95\OLDOS\.
• If you have Windows 98, then you will find it on the original CD-ROM under: D:\TOOLS\OLDMSDOS.

(The above examples assume that "C:" is your HardDisk drive, and "D:" is your CD-ROM drive. Substitute your drive letters if necessary.)

NOTE: if you have any of the above mentioned operating systems but cannot find the files, getting them elsewhere is permitted. Microsoft's web site still has it available for download under "OLDDOS". The files you will need are listed as follows:

• QBASIC.EXE - The actual editor/interpreter program.
• QBASIC.HLP - The help files for QBasic.
• QBASIC.INI - Not necessary, since QB will create a new one.

You can also find many different interpreters and compilers on the net.
