Is the QBasic that comes with DOS 5 the same as the QuickBASIC
Sherm's talking about here?  If not, what's the difference?  Do I need
to buy it separately, is the question, since I already have DOS 5 and
Windows 3.1?

   Anybody have any thoughts on APBasic for MSDOS?  Would anyone recommend
   registering it, versus buying a copy of Microsoft QUICKbasic?
   It seems like a nice tight little environment that's perfect for a
   very limited environment (Amiga running a software emulation, two floppies,
   no hard drive, MDA display equivalent), but since registration is $40, that
   puts it within shouting distance of QuickBASIC and I was wondering if
   anything major would be sacrificed by using it and saving about $25.
