It may not be the latest version, but there is a DOS version of FreeBASIC

Freeware is not the same thing as open source, though. It's the FOSS
part that is important here.
For instan
The BASIC language was chosen because the tutorial is (like all tutorials)
for educational purposes, and the BASIC language is much simpler to
assimilate by the inexperienced compared to C, however, that does not mean
that the BASIC language is not suitable for other things, many important
programs

How about porting it to FreeBASIC?

I've had a look at it, and I doubt there's much use for it on FreeDOS.
The most glaring obstacle is the choice of programming language.
Neither Microsofts Quickbasic, nor Borlands Turbo-Basic are free
software, so the amount of people who would be able to compile it, is
probably dwindingly small.
Thanks for the suggestion (https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-howto.en.html).
The author of the mouse subroutines (Andreas Andersson) does not ask to be
contacted, only mentioned, and that is why I mention him in the tutorial.
He says:

Indeed, but that line can be changed (consider it GNU license), as author I
guarantee that the code can be used to be improved if that serves for
something to someone.
The code was made with educational ends.
Anyway I will see that of the license to avoid future confusions.
Thanks for the inform

Hi.
The software is a basic calculator for DOS programmed in QBasic, the
calculator is not complete because he lacks some icons and it only works
with mouse, but this is due to that is part of a tutorial about how to make
a GUI.
The code of this program is available and it is possible to use it f
