FB is 32-bit, it's faster, supports OOP, and can produce executable for DOS, Windows and Linux.

Beside that, it's compatible with QB.

Hi floogle11. Have you been working with FB much since you started this thread? As you may or may not know by now, FB is highly compatible with QB syntax. Still, you are not forced to use it in that manner -- you can write your code strictly to take advantage of all of the improvements that FB has over QB and all of its new language features. I've been working with FB a lot lately, and I really like it. I'll soon be releasing an improved FB version of an old DOS QB game that I wrote.

If you want to have the same syntax of QB, the first line of your program must be:

Code: Select all

#lang qb
