I can get it to you later tonight when I get home. I believe it uses the MS-DOS Editor behind the scenes; if I'm not mistaken, it's 3 or 4 files - QBASIC.EXE, EDIT.COM, QBASIC.HLP, and optionally QBASIC.INI.
Like I said, if you want I'll zip it all up and e-mail it to you later.

thanks bruce.. ill let you know if I need it...

I am thinking my father might actually have it... his program is written in QBasic and he needs me to rewrite it in VB6... so i figure i might need to get into the code a little so I wanted to put QBasic on my machine while I am making this conversion...

I could have sworn it gets installed automatically on a win95 installation as well.. i could be wrong though... not sure if i have a 95 machine @ home anyway..

but thanks.. if i can't find the files on one of our machines you will be hearing from me

I believe that on the Win 95 CD (and maybe Win 98), QBASIC was supplied on a folder called "oldmsdos" - but was NOT installed automatically when you installed Win95.
