QBasic works fine. It's all of one or some few files.
As to the other programs you note, check what replaced them.

I will be progressing to XP soon....from Me. As XP is without DOS, will I be able to install DOS and use programs such as QBasic, and other DOS programs ? Would that be possible, by copying the 'oldmsdos' folder from the CD of versions of Win9x ?
