I'm preety sure. I abandoned QuickBasic around the time Windows 2.0 was appearing. I just used it to port some MSX Basic programs that my company used to track service (we produced MSX machines). Both versions were quite simmilar, and I remember that I used CHR$ to store tiny integers as characters. Hey! My database was SO HUGE that it occupied more that a single 5" 1/4 disk! I couldn't misuse the space.

(I think I'm growing old)
See you!

>>>Being an old QuickBASIC programmer I can tell you that integers weren't stored as 2 bytes, but one. Long integers were two bytes. I would think that this might apply to QBASIC as well.
