Use freebasic. It is a free open source compiler so it is much easier to own than powerbasic or qbasic. Also, there is a qbasic or quickbasic compatibility mode in freebasic which makes porting of qbasic code relatively painless. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freebasic Note that, like freepascal and djgpp (gnu c/c++ for dos), freebasic also is a 32 bit compiler so you have no 640 kB limit for many things when using freebasic in DOS :-) Cheers, Eric ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Download BIRT iHub F-Type - The Free Enterprise-Grade BIRT Server from Actuate!
