How does QBasic differ from From GW-Basic?
Back to QBasic FAQ Main Page.
MS-DOS GW-Basic supported many of the features that QBasic does, yet others have been dropped. GW also could be compiled if the compiler was purchased separately. QBasic can run old GW files provided they are edited for unsupported commands, are syntactically correct, and in ASCII text file format.
GW-Basic command structure and syntax was mostly comparable. QB changed the syntax on several commands, (Some support two syntax structures.) GW required line numbers; QB does not.
(Trivia note: The `GW' in GW-Basic actually stands for Gee Whiz.)
