My first language was IBM macro-assembler but I played with Basic (GE time-share over teletype) around 1968 - considering the resources used it was quite amazing and in that respect put all current computing to shame!

BASIC was my first computer language, mid-'70s,  PDP-4 and a Commodore
VIC-20. Used it for many years before I went pro, writing BASIC on WANG
2200 microcomputers.

You may want to try FreeBASIC, which claims high compatibility and the
ability to compile 32-bit executables: http://www.freebasic.net/

   So what are these "utilities" that are so indespensible?
       They are utilities that I wrote for myself.  They are written in a
16-bit version of Microsoft BASIC.  They work.
