The following is a table of libraries that are compatible between
different versions of BASIC and C:

   QuickBASIC      BASIC Compiler  <->     C       QuickC
   ----------      --------------  ---     -       ------

   4.00             --             <->    5.00     1.00
    --             6.00            <->    5.10     1.01
   4.00b    or     6.00b           <->    5.10     1.01
   4.50             --             <->    5.10     2.00 or 2.01

In QuickBASIC Versions 1.00, 1.01, 1.02, 2.00, 2.01, and 3.00, you can
call only QuickBASIC subprograms or Microsoft assembler routines.

This table is available as an application note titled "How to Pass
Parameters between BASIC and C", which also contains information on
Basic and C mixed-language programming. You can obtain this
application note by calling (206) 454-2030.
