and set up PowerBASIC Inc. to continue support and development of it. [citebook|title=The Program Begins|author=Gerald Krug|year=1987|publisher=Lulu|id=ISBN 0961289007]
This software is from the 1987-88 period and features the Borland "black screen" similar to Turbo Pascal 4.0, Turbo C 1.0/1.5, and Turbo Prolog 1.1. Borland did not adopt its trademark "blue screen" integrated development environment until the 1989 period when Turbo C 2.0, Turbo C++ 1.1, etc. were released. By this time, Turbo Basic and Turbo Prolog were no longer being sold.
Unlike most BASIC implementations of this period, Turbo Basic was a full compiler which generated native code for MS-DOS. Other implementations were either interpreters, or relied heavily on a runtime library. The integrated development environment could run a BASIC program inside itself (see sample below) for traditional BASIC debugging, or generate an MS-DOS EXE file which was completely stand-alone and could be run on other systems without the Turbo Basic product or runtime libraries.
Code sample
theory by discarding the line numbers and adding the control structures and subroutine definitions needed by structured programming.
INPUT "What is your name:", A$ PRINT "Hello "; A$ DO S$ = "" INPUT "How many stars do you want to print"; S FOR I = 1 TO S S$ = S$ + "*" NEXT I PRINT S$ DO INPUT "Do you want to print more stars"; Q$ LOOP WHILE LEN(Q$) = 0 Q$ = LEFT$ (Q$, 1) LOOP WHILE (Q$ = "Y") OR (Q$ = "y") PRINT "Goodbye "; A$
Like the other Borland products of this era, the code executes within the integrated development environment.

Features of turbo basics
1.FLOATING POINT SUPPORT - it is sensitive to variable names.
2.MULTI-WINDOW - it has for windows which you can move, drag and resize. 3.BLOCK STRUCTED PROGRAMMING STATEMENTS - there is no need to use line numbers. 4.FULL GRAPHIC SUPPORT -it is capable of creating dazzling graphic design. 5.TIME RECURSION -it executes faster and detect errors immediately upon execution of the program
