+QB64 is a modern extended BASIC programming language that retains
+QBasic/QuickBASIC 4.5 compatibility and compiles native binaries for
+Windows, Linux, and macOS.
+
+The QB64 project has evolved over the last decade to bring the magic
+and educational potential of BASIC from its 20th century roots into
+the modern era. The QB64 project is already in use in both
+educational and professional contexts and has an active and helpful
+user community.
+
+Unlike traditional BASIC and QBasic code, QB64 gets compiled
+automatically into machine code – allowing exceptional performance,
+easy distribution, and the ability to link with external C and C++
+programming libaries. Compatible with most QBasic 4.5 code, QB64
+adds a number of extensions, such as OpenGL and other modern
+features, providing the perfect blend of classic and modern
+program development.
+
+This package installs to /opt/ but a user directory is
+required in $HOME in order to run the program and its data.
