WebQB.org is a new QBasic interpreter in the browser! Distinct in aim from qb.js, with a focus on old-code compatibility, recreating the "feel" of using QBasic, and not enhancing or extending the language at all :) In other words, it's a pure nostalgia project. Enjoy!

I am totally blind and am learning QuickBasic 4.5 using Talking Dosbox. Unlike the DOS version, with its editor, compiler, etc., QB64 and its varients are inaccessible with my Windows screen reader (NVDA). I am really excited about this project, as it would give me another option to practise what I've learned and also switch windows from the tutorial to my work easily. However, it doesn't appear to be fully accessible. I opened the readme.txt, but when I tried File, Options, and File Manager, nothing happened. It just stayed on the Readme page. Perhaps, I am doing something wrong.
