How about porting it to FreeBASIC? https://www.freebasic.net/ That is meant to be a compatible dialect. As it happens, in the same batch of new emails this morning as this email of comment, I got the notification of a new release of QB64. https://github.com/QB64-Phoenix-Edition/QB64pe/releases/tag/v3.9.1 Languages in the MS BASIC family are alive and well as FOSS. I saw a new benchmark a week ago where one of the single fastest compiled programs on test was from FBC, and it was several orders of magnitude faster than Python even using extensions such as NumPy to offload the hard stuff. -- Liam Proven ~ Profile: https://about.me/liamproven Email: lpro...@cix.co.uk ~ gMail/gTalk/FB: lpro...@gmail.com Twitter/LinkedIn: lproven ~ Skype: liamproven IoM: (+44) 7624 277612: UK: (+44) 7939-087884 Czech [+ WhatsApp/Telegram/Signal]: (+420) 702-829-053 _______________________________________________ Freedos-devel mailing list Freedos-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-devel
