Microsoft BASIC Compiler
Originally released as Microsoft BASIC 6.0 Compiler and was a development of the compiler that shipped with QuickBASIC 4.5 extended to support more standard development tools. While QuickBASIC only supported 64k heaps and programming inside the 640k limit the capability of the Basic 6 compiler to generate code for OS/2 with support for 16 MB of memory or 128 MB of virtual memory was greatly touted by Microsoft.
