The very last version of QBasic could be compiled to an EXE.
Yeah thats well good you like to contradict yourself twice in one thread :D Anyways my point is that any language that consists of instructions can teoretically be compiled. Therefore the latter part is superfluous
The first versions of QBasic (until version 4.5) did not have a compiler and had to run through its IDE.Quote:

actually there was (and still is) freeware available to compile it into machine code. If you go to www.qbasic.com under the downloads section i think there is one.
