   Of course... :)
   BASIC is relatively unchanged, though. Only the line numbers
   have been removed to protect the innocent. The SUB and
   FUNCTION modularity works just like C functions. They
   actually made it a lot more C-like in later versions.
   Once you know the syntax and are familiar with the tools
   in the RTL, it is very easy to use. I'm fairly well convinced
   that it is, in large part, based in C, at least in the case
   of the QBasic included with DOS. I wouldn't be terribly
   shocked to learn that a large part of it was written in C.
