• Original: QuickBasic, PDS
• Current: QB64

• Visual Studio Code - Our primary code editor.
• Notepad++ - Okay, we use VSC primarily now, but Notepad++ still finds it uses and is just an awesome app all around.
• Deark - Allows us to convert the original memory dump images to more current formats, e.g. PNG or JPEG.
• Crimson Editor - Helpful when initially converting the files as the source code contained OEM characters which isn't shown correctly by most software and can wreak havoc in the code.
