A version of QuickBasic for DOS that is stripped of the compiler and linker but keeps the included IDE and is fully syntax compatible with the 4.5 version of QuickBasic. Version 1 replaced GW-Basic in MS-DOS 5 as the free included Basic interpreter, version 1.1 is supplied with MS-DOS 6 and all versions of Windows NT. A stripped down version of 1.1 that lacks the editor and a full version of QBasic 1 are both included with all the shipped Win 9x branch for some reason.

IBM recompiled the code for their own version of PC-DOS 5, their version of QBasic is faster than the Microsoft one and had a couple of bug fixes that are not present in the MS v1 version, this version of Qbasic is included with all versions of PC-DOS since v5 and with all versions of eComStation, OS/2 2.0 and higher and OS/2 PPC (Workplace OS).
