Microsoft QuickBASIC (also QB) is an Integrated Development Environment (or IDE) and compiler for the BASIC programming language that was developed by Microsoft. QuickBASIC runs mainly on DOS , though there was also a short-lived version for the classic Mac OS .
QBasic was intended as a replacement for GW-BASIC.It was based on the earlier QuickBASIC 4.5 compiler but without QuickBASIC's compiler and linker elements. Version 1.0 was shipped together with MS-DOS 5.0 and higher, as well as Windows 95, Windows NT 3.x, and Windows NT 4.0.

QB64 (originally QB32) [1] is a self-hosting BASIC compiler for Microsoft Windows, Linux and Mac OS X, designed to be compatible with Microsoft QBasic and QuickBASIC. QB64 is a transpiler to C++ , which is integrated with a C++ compiler to provide compilation via C++ code and GCC optimization.
I run QuickBasic 4.5 without using DOSBox inside Windows 2000. The article doesn't specify that one needs to use DOSBox on NT-based Windows platforms in order to run QBasic - only that, by using DOSBox, it can be run under those platforms. I'll rephrase it to make it clearer. Someone42 05:59, 1 January 2006 (UTC)
QuickBASIC versions 4.0 and 4.5 use IEEE 754 floating-point variables by default, but (at least in version 4.5) there is a command-line option /MBF for the IDE and the compiler that switches from IEEE to MBF floating-point numbers, to support earlier-written programs that rely on details of the MBF data formats.
The GNU/Liberty Basic Compiler Collection (GLBCC), by Anthony Liguori, is a set of tools to compile Liberty Basic programs, runs on Windows and Linux systems, but the project has not been updated since 2001. In 2012 an alternative Windows implementation of Liberty BASIC, LB Booster (LBB), became available.
It was quite a bit different than DOS Quickbasic because of the different hardware (graphics and sound commands were very different, and iirc screen commands such as LOCATE and COLOR were changed as well), although of course the main language was the same. I was used to QuickBasic Extended (PDS 7.0), and wasn't too crazy about the mac version.
