"The last version of QuickBASIC was version 4.5 (1988), although development of 
the Microsoft BASIC Professional Development System (PDS) continued until its
 last release of version 7.1 in October 1990 (at the same time, the QuickBASIC 
packaging was sliently changed so that the disks use the same compression used 
for
BASIC PDS 7.1.. The PDS version of the IDE was called QuickBASIC Extended 
(QBX). The successor to QuickBASIC and PDS was Visual Basic for MS-DOS 1.0, 
provided
in Standard and Professional versions. Later versions of Visual Basic did not 
include DOS versions, as Microsoft concentrated on Windows applications."
