Microsoft Basic PDS is certainly not public domain.. it'll set you back
several hundred $$s.  It's worth it if you're programming seriously though,
it contains BC v7 (Basic Compiler) and QBX (Quick Basic Extended), an
enhanced QB environment.  They also through in lots of Basic code for
user interface, text mode windows, mouse etc., and Codeview, the MS
debugger.
