FreeBASIC

FreeBASIC is a free/open source (GPL), 32-bit BASIC compiler[1] for Microsoft Windows, protected-mode DOS (DOS extender), Linux, FreeBSD and Xbox[2].

FreeBASIC allows a high level of support for programs written for QuickBASIC, by using the "QB" dialect. Many programs written for QuickBASIC will compile and run in this mode without any changes needed. However, most substantial programs will need changes to be made before they can be compiled using the default dialect. It is not as related to Microsoft's later Visual Basic language, for that Gambas is the most relevant free software project.
