From following wikipedia page:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gwbasic
"GW-BASIC was a dialect of the programming language BASIC developed by
Microsoft from BASICA, originally for Compaq. It is compatible with
Microsoft/IBM BASICA, but was disk based and did not need the ROM BASIC. It
was bundled with MS-DOS operating systems on IBM PC compatibles by
Microsoft. Microsoft also sold a BASIC compiler, BASCOM, compatible with
GW-BASIC, for programs needing more speed. The language was suitable for
simple games, business programs and the like. Since it was included with
most versions of MS-DOS, it was also a low cost way for many would-be
programmers to learn the fundamentals of computer programming.[1][2] With
the release of MS-DOS 5.0, GW-BASIC's place was eventually taken by QBasic,
the interpreter part of the separately available QuickBASIC compiler."
Stay well
