What Is QBasic ?

Though the earlier versions of QBasic had a very short life but later Microsoft brought back to life and incorporated in some of Windows versions.

Which version should I use?
Please send me a trial version so that I can check whether I can rid of the metioned problem
Since my version of qb64 has gone to 0.934, every self-written program I have tried to use fails with the notation “c++ compilation failed”. Is there any way I can get back to 0.91 when everything was working beautifully?
nice one
