John, We are about in the same boat but I have a few years on you in using Gambas. I worked with a 4004 and the 74181 ALUs... I was lucky enough to have access to a Altair 8800. Though I am 5 years your junior... The 6809 and I spent a lot of time together. I even built a 6809 emulator.
I think you will enjoy Gambas 3. While not quite Dartmouth Basic, it retains much of the Basic language while adding many powerful features. The object model is a bit different and sometimes seems restrictive from a C/C++ point of view. But that usually is caused by a limited understanding of the object model and how to work with it. What you will find here is a lot of people willing to help you. So dig in and enjoy the journey!

The answer is YES, it can always be done. The correct questions however are... What will it cost, and how long will it take? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Want excitement? Manually upgrade your production database. When you want reliability, choose Perforce Perforce version control.
