I, for one, would personally love to see FreeQB. Even if it only
converted BASIC to assembly and relied on NASM for compiling, it
would be a welcome addition to the FreeDOS family. The language
could even be extended with several features found in other BASICs,
such as PowerBASIC. I began a BASIC compiler for a different project
years ago and still have the source code lying around if anyone
would be interested. I would be willing to assist on such a project
as my free time allows.
I think FreeQB as a interpreter. It includes an editor. But, I don't have time
for this project. I work on FreeDOS TUI Shell and FreeDOS Coreutils
for FreeDOS.
Chelson and his team was working on the
[DOSCore](http://www.doscore.net/doscore/home.html) project a while
back which gave a GUI for DOS based systems. I thought it was listed
on the FreeDOS site, but I don't see it there now...
I don't see DOSCore binaries and DOSCore sources.
The calculator would be a nice accessory. I made a set of routines
in the early 2000s which allow mathematical operations on very large
numbers by treating them as strings and processing them one digit at
a time (as one would do manually) which might be useful for such a
project, again if someone is interested in taking up such a project.
If the code is yours, you may put on GitHub, GitLab or other code
sharing sites.
I think FreeDOS needs a 16 bit calculator program.
Thanks,
Ercan
