Download Qbasic Software: (Click to download)

The Qbasic software package that we use in the lab can be downloaded to your home PC. (Note: If you are using Window 2000 you will need to install the Service Pack SP3 in order for the mouse to work properly.)

 

Download Plotting Software: (Click for instructions)

Winplot is a small but useful plotting program that can be downloaded and used on any Windows PC. It is available on the desktop in the PC lab in addition to Derive. Give it a try!

Mac users with OS Version 7.5 or later already have a plotting program on their Apple menu. Check it out.

 

Home Folder:

Each lab account can use a portion of the network hard for storing files. You save your files to the H: drive and not the local hard disk or C: drive. In Qbasic you would typically save your program by using the Save As ... option on the File tab and then saving you file with the name H:\prog.bat. To open a file you would use the Open option on the File tab and enter H: <cr> to see a list of your files.

In order to keep others from using your account you need to keep it confidential. For example, don't write down your password next to your account number in your manual where others can see it.
