The original QuickPak Professional add-on was the absolute best product for writing professional applications using QB4.5/PDS7.1 in the late-1980s and early-1990s. It was touted as The Most Comprehensive Collection of BASIC Tools Ever Produced.
QuickPak Professional for QB4.5/PDS7.1/VBDOS1.0 (MS-DOS) was released into the public domain around the end of 2018 by Gene Buckle. This project serves to resurrect much of the functionality (where possible) for use several modern dialects of BASIC such as QB64, FreeBASIC, as well as others.
You can find the original QuickPak Professional installation here along with a PDF copy of the manual. You can also access the original repo here.
We also want to thank Gene Buckle for making this all possible as well as to Ethan Winer for creating the product in the first place.
