- That's pretty much the question. Is QBASIC (supplied with DOS 5.x) faster
- than the equivalent GWBASIC program?
-
- Before some joker jumps in a tells me I should use a "real language" like
- C or Pascal:
-
- I am porting a large collection of programs written for the Commodore 64
- (the best low budget computer ever invented) in BASIC to the PC. I have
- time to do some minor conversion, but not complete rewrite.
-
- Since I have both BASICS, I want to use the faster one - I don't need all
- the QBASIC bells and whistles (like mouse support and the new editor).
