It is good idea. Will this BASIC environment be compatible BASICA?
Maybe eventually. Sounds like a good goal, but I care first about
minimal BASIC and shell access, then I can consider extensions.
Happy Hacking,

a really small binary that could reasonably run on an IBM PC and

I don't really see a need to replace QBASIC, because FreeBASIC
already replaces QuickBASIC which I believe is a
superset of QBASIC.
FreeBASIC is 32 bit. It needs CWSDPMI.
I've wanted to clone GW-BASIC, but trying to do even that is quite a
bit out of my range as a programmer (plus
I've been pretty deep into Microsoft's 6502 BASIC source code, which
is a close relative to GW-BASIC, so...)
Good idea.
I think GW-BASIC clone name's and QBASIC clone name's is "FD-BASIC".
Thanks,
Ercan
