Subject: Re: Freeware Basic?
 
If you are a programmer you could write your own Compiler. It's not overly
hard - jus ttime consuming. But there are books on the subject.
 
I don't know of any freeware compilers. People spend much time writing
compilers and don't wanna just give them away. But there are some in
expensive ones. OMNIBASIC have one for around $80-90 and it works on all
OS's (so I'm told).
 
The last GWBASIC was shipped with DOS 4.01. It was discontinued shortly
later. But GWBASIC is not a compiler - it is an interpreter the programs
it makes can only run while it is in the memory where compilers make
stand-alone programs (with .EXE).
