   Visual Basic.  However, Ethan Winer has started up a new
   Software company to continue support of his DOS based libraries,
   etc.  It's unclear exactly WHO holds the rights to PDQ, so
   here's information on both companies.

   The latest version of PDQ is 3.12, and you should expect to pay
   somewhere in the range of $150 for it.

   Another option is a program called TSRBasic.  Harry Hickey says
   that it's just an interpreter, not a true compiler.  In other
   words, your programs will just run in the environment of
   TSRBasic.  Matt Roberts adds, though, that it *will* create
   executable programs, although "the whole blessed interpreter"
   will be included with your source code.  In other words, a
   very simple program will be a relatively large executable
   program.  Matt also says that TSRBasic is very slow with
   graphics, and that, to his knowledge, the author is not
   available to be contacted.
   If you're interested, Mike Meyer says that you can find it
   by searching the Web at http://www.shareware.com for TSRBasic.
13) HOW CAN I MAKE QB EXIT WITH AN ERROR LEVEL?
   A FAQ by Mike Audleman says the following (modified for format):
[quote]
   Add the following declare statement at the beginning of your
   program:
   DECLARE SUB ExitWithErrorLvl ALIAS "_exit" (BYVAL ERRORLEVEL%)
   Then to exit with an error level contained in a variable:
   ExitWithErrorLvl Oops%
[end quote]
   Using this method from within the Quick Basic environment will
   cause QB to exit to DOS *immediately* -- you'll lose your code
   if you haven't saved it to disk.
   Pat Pridgen says that if you're using PDS, you can just enter
   this statement (n% is the error level to exit with):
   END n%
