If you're really drawn to Quickbasic and like Delphi you've missed the most
obvious choice of all ...Visual Basic. VB has all the database support you
could possibly want, its fast enuff, support for it abounds, syntax is VERY
similar to quickbasic, the design environment is similar to delhpi. Only
problem with VB is really if you want to code graphics. VB is still very
much behind delphi in support for different graphic formats.
