FreeBASIC is native and does run. Maybe some of the billions of examples don't run due to third-party libraries. But it does (mostly) work in pure DOS. But yes, you can also cross-compile (not that I've tried). > BWBasic is an interpreter, which runs very well on FreeDOS, despite some > shortcomings, hence should be very well kept within ant FreeDOS "distro"... IMO, it was too buggy to use for much. What ever happened to your own home grown GWBASIC interpreter? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Site24x7 APM Insight: Get Deep Visibility into Application Performance APM + Mobile APM + RUM: Monitor 3 App instances at just $35/Month Monitor end-to-end web transactions and take corrective actions now Troubleshoot faster and improve end-user experience.
