The "Microsoft Mixed-Language Programming Guide" is packaged with
Microsoft C Versions 5.00 and later, Microsoft Pascal Versions 4.00
and later, Microsoft FORTRAN Versions 4.10 and later, and Microsoft
Macro Assembler (MASM) Versions 5.00 and later.

On the bottom of Page 39, there is a note that incorrectly states that
QuickBASIC Version 4.00 provides a number of "user-entry points,"
which are BASIC system-level functions that may be called directly
from C, and that the README file provides more information. However,
there is no information on these "user-entry points" in the README.DOC
file provided with QuickBASIC Versions 4.00, 4.00b, or 4.50, Microsoft
BASIC Compiler Versions 6.00 and 6.00b, or Microsoft BASIC
Professional Development System (PDS) Version 7.00 or 7.10 for MS-DOS
and MS OS/2. This note should be removed, since there are no such
user-entry points available.
