I am a big BASIC fan. It was my first language.
The Quick BASIC compiler / IDE is still good. I run it on my XP platform, and it is still happy. It is hard to find, but, search for Quick Basic 4.5 or go to phatcode.net and look on the compiler page for version 4.5.
I used FreeBasic as while, and I HATE it. Too New School. I like old school.
Also, some of the new student calculators have the BASIC language built in for macros, it is very powerful though.
Hope this information helps.
