I see it is back up now. I had been doing some reading on the pros/cons of FreeBASIC vs QB64. Not looking to start a flame war here, but I had decided to invest some time with FreeBASIC when the site went down. I thought perhaps that was an early portent that I had picked the "wrong" compiler. I see that Black Annex is probably written with QB64 (http://www.pcworld.com/article/2033318/black-annex-is-the-best-qbasic-game-youve-ever-seen.html).
Does anyone have any experience or tips working with the DOS version of FreeBASIC in FreeDOS that they'd like to share? If not, thanks for humoring me this far in the thread.
