GWBASIC, QBASIC, QuickBASIC, and PDS, all can read and write ASCII
files.  As can most word processors and text editors.  Use ASCII for
all your programs and you're safe.  As far as language compatibility
goes, neither QBASIC nor QuickBASIC will be able to run all GWBASIC
programs, but QuickBASIC should be able to run all QBASIC programs.
