INSTALLING BASIC ON YOUR PC

You can download QuickBasic 4.5 for your home computer. First create a new directory (or folder) on your C drive and name it "basic". Then download the file

QB45ZIP.EXE

into this new directory. Next open Windows Explorer, go to your "basic" folder, and double-click the file you just downloaded - it will unzip itself into a bunch of other files. Because QuickBasic is a DOS program it must be run from a DOS window under Windows. Open a DOS window (or Command Prompt window) and enter "cd\basic" to get to the basic directory. Finally, enter "qb" to start QuickBasic.
