Hi, I would like to do some simple (for my kids) programing. The only thing I have ever used is Basic. (no flames please) I don't have the time to try to learn C or Pascal so I am looking for your unused or out of date old version of Quick Basic, Turbo Basic, Power Basic (of any Basic that can be compiled) I would like to find something in the $10 to $25 range. Give your old Basic software a good home. Please e-mail to save net use. Mike Ray MER@CRNLNS

For not much more than you want to spend you can buy a brand-spanking new copy of Microsoft QuickBASIC 4.5 and you'll have the benefit of being a registered owner AND you'll have the documentation. In addition you'll have a great language compiler. -- Frederick F. Freeland Jr. "Of all the things I've lost, Microsoft Corporation I miss my mind the most!"

What's illegal about selling your original software and transferring
the license. From what I see in the For-Sale echos I read, this sort
of thing happens all the time (which doesn't necessarily make it legal,
I know!).
P.S. I do have to agree with you, QuickBASIC is fabulous!
