The BASIC language was chosen because the tutorial is (like all tutorials)
for educational purposes, and the BASIC language is much simpler to
assimilate by the inexperienced compared to C, however, that does not mean
that the BASIC language is not suitable for other things, many important
programs

How about porting it to FreeBASIC?

I've had a look at it, and I doubt there's much use for it on FreeDOS.
The most glaring obstacle is the choice of programming language.
Neither Microsofts Quickbasic, nor Borlands Turbo-Basic are free
software, so the amount of people who would be able to compile it, is
probably dwindingly small.
