Large and rediculous...

As far as I canfind, there is no "qbasic" or work-a-like for os2.
I do believe that PDS from MicroSoft will generate os2 specific code, but
how well, I don't know. Also, POWERSOFT (makers of PowerBasic) have been
hinting of an os2 native of their product for what seems like years now
and... nothing!

I would suggest to you, what I'm doing... learning the C language...
there's a veritable HORDE of os2 c compilers that work beautifully
"out there"...

 CS> ..wishing I hadn't bought it now. :-(

Yeah, me too. It was the worst spent $80.00 that I ever had the pleasure of
spending. For another $19.00 I could have purchased the Watcom C compiler
on CDrom, under their student program...

It's like my mama once told me... "you live and learn..."

Have a nice day, Charles.
