Because it is not: QBX is the IDE for the suite. The compiler is called BC7, which comes after BC6 which comes after BASCOM v.5.
MS abandoned the BASCOM product line and focused more in the new QB product line (Quick stands for the IDE, no more hassle (:lol: he he) with the command line). QB4.5 was downgraded to Qbasic 1.0 (slowed down and without the compiler), and MS continued on the BASCOM product line in 1990 releasing BC 6.
Just a matter of nomenclature In fact, QB, PDS and VBDOS use the same BASIC dialect, just like VB.
