SUMMARY
The following magazines give a review of Microsoft QuickBASIC Version 1.00 for Apple Macintosh:


 * 1) &quot;Microsoft QuickBASIC 1.0,&quot; MacWorld Magazine, February 1989; Pages 240-241
 * 2) &quot;QuickBASIC Comes to the Macintosh,&quot; Byte Magazine, January 1989; Pages 223-228

Please note the error in Byte, Page 228. A sentence in the second paragraph incorrectly implies that a coprocessor will help speed up the decimal math version of QuickBASIC. A coprocessor will only help speed the program if you compile in the Microsoft QuickBASIC (b) binary math version and select the &quot;Generate 68881 Code&quot; option.

These reviews may interest customers who are thinking about buying QuickBASIC for the Apple Macintosh.
