I think you would really be impressed with the new PowerBASIC 3.0 from
Spectra - they bought the Borland product.  Microsoft is not intending
to persue upgrading the product, opting to persue the Visual BASIC event
driven model.  It seems that PowerBASIC is poised to be the compiled BASIC of
choice.  Highly recommended you check out the product before buying 
QuickBASIC.  Lots of libraries available for PowerBASIC now.
