Freeware BASIC compiler

[Chaos Master]

hi.

Is there any freeware compiler for the BASIC language, with a syntax
that is compatible with Microsoft QuickBASIC?

I want to port some applications from their QuickBASIC source code from
DOS- and also because QuickBASIC only supports 640KB RAM.

FreeBASIC is a 32-bit BASIC compiler that's MS QuickBasic compatible (with
some exceptions where that's not possible because of the 16-bit segmented
memory vs. 32-bit flat memory differences.

It's still in development, but it seems to useable already.
