They must have done that a while back. :-) My archive shows only 539
posts since the middle of 2003.

IIRC the purpose of this group is supposed to be non-DOS, non-Windows BASICs.
Amiga BASIC, QB Mac, etc.

Was 'Amiga BASIC' a microsoft product?

I think there were several assorted 'QB Mac' products.

I couldn't find an FAQ for this group, but then, it's a microsoft
group, and they don't follow the rules, anyway. :-)

IIRC it was "Microsoft BASIC for the Amiga", but regardless of the name, yes,
it was an MS product. I still have my copy *somewhere*.

I'm specifically talking about MS QuickBASIC for the Mac... which I have
never actually *seen*, but have heard of. (See the Wikipedia QB page.)

Extra-special no comment. ;-)
