Why Version 1.00a Was Released

Microsoft QuickBASIC version 1.00a corrects a problem where programs compiled with the Use Default Window option in 1.00 can fail at run time with a System error (bomb) ID=1 on the Macintosh IIci, IIcx, and IIfx. For an article describing this problem and its workarounds, query in this Knowledge Base on the following words:

IIci and IIcx and IIfx and QuickBASIC

QuickBASIC version 1.00a was released specifically to correct only this problem. Version 1.00a may be obtained by calling Microsoft Technical Support (Version 1.00a is not available through the Microsoft Customer Service Department.)
