   BASIC IDE/Compiler? (Free)
  Are there any free IDE's or compilers for BASIC?  I found an IDE called BIDE but it doesn't bring a compiler.  Anyone know where I could get a free compiler for BASIC?  Oh, and I can't download the visual express IDE because I have dial up :-\   
  Which version of BASIC are you interested in? Microsoft has the express edition of Visual Basic .NET 2005 available for free download from their site.   ;  uhm, qbasic should be included in dos and older versions of windows (win95 has it on the cdrom somewhere), for more modern versions you'd probably have to specify what basic dialect you are interested in. (there are quite a few these days)   ;  I believe it's Visual Basic.  It isn't .NET I know for sure.  Pretty sure it's Visual.   ;Quote:Original post by SonicD007I believe it's Visual Basic.  It isn't .NET I know for sure.  Pretty sure it's Visual.I'd rather saw off my arm than go back to VB6 from VB.NET -- go get the Express edition of VB.NET 2005, either using a download manager, or by getting a friend with broadband to acquire it for you. I think you can also order the CDs.   ;freeBasic is where it's at.   ;Quote:Original post by SageofAgesfreeBasic is where it's at.Seconded. Make sure you get FBIDE, unless you like compiling from the command-line.
