History In 1983, Bob Zale , PowerBASIC's founder, created BASIC/Z, the first interactive compiler for CP/M and MDOS. It was extended to MS-DOS, and in 1987 Borland published it as the now legendary Turbo BASIC. The compiler became officially known as PowerBASIC in 1990 when Bob Zale founded PowerBASIC Inc.
