With qbasic??? You must be crazy ;) But, you can get many free C++ compilers
(free Borland C++ compiler, GCC...) and IDEs (VIDE, EMACS...) for them. I use
Borland C with EMACS, works great! Learn C, you wont regret. No, write a qbasic
ches program first and _then_ try it with C. It could be maybe harder this way,
but you would see the benefits of procedural programming, and there are many
benefits indeed...
