Dear $Deity, all is lost. Quickbasic?



Yup, hopelessly outdated. Real programmers use PowerBasic.

Make a visual basic equivalent in Excel spreadsheet OR Access database.


I like PowerBasic because it's a real compiler, and if I run it under
DOS I can access hardware directly. I can DIM an array AT a physical
address (which just happens to be, say, a VME bus), I can access PCI
module registers directly, I can type assembly inline, and I can run
useful FOR loops at 30 MHz.

VB still compiles to pseudocode, right?
