Indeed. Visual Basic itself kept going until May 2001, when none other than
Bill Gates declared it defunct in favor of the new .NET Framework. I even have
the copy of the Visual Basic Programmer's Journal with his address. That said,
as late as 2015, I know of at least one mission critical appli

While it's easy as cake to do UIs with VBDOS, there's no way to port to
anything else.
QBX, on the other hand, is not that different to C; pretty much

I must be missing several things here.
What is "QBX"? Google

Hm. Converting from QBX 7 to something like Watcom or DJGPP would be a
LOT easier than converting from VBDOS (safe insofar as VBDOS code can

I certainly wouldn't release anything I wrote back then. My coding
style at the time is best described as anarchist - you know, comments
are for girls, and variables longer than two characters are a waste of
disk space, things like that.
I did, however, write a windows application in 1996 that som
