Does anyone know of any open-source Widows Basic which I might use for trying to create some simple .exe utiliies with ?

Where to get modules?

- Sun Apr 24, 2016 1:27 pm #46090 I went through a similar search a few years ago and settled on QB64. I grew up with QuickBasic and then Visual Basic 1 - 6 (even VB-DOS), but lost touch with VB.net.

It's been a couple of years since I used QB64 so I don't know what direction it has taken since. I used it for a few simple command line utilities, and also to teach one of my daughters to program. For Linux users I can also recommend Gambas.
