- Discovered a, for me, fatal flaw - it doesn't handle DEF FNname correctly - at least not for program 'RUNGE' I typed in from 'Orbit Determinations' by Dan Boulet. Exactly the same program runs OK (matches book's sample output and parallel Java program I wrote to help debug) using GWBASIC but PC-BASIC needed to inline DEF FN functions. Dare say OK for simple games, but not when you really need a pukka Basic interpreter.

Posted 2019-04-21Hi, could you please post the program with the problem to the forum or github issues, with an explanation of what is going wrong? then I can fix it for the next version. thanks! - Wow! It's really GeeWhiz Basic! Fantastic! Works just like it too, warts and all - lol. I'm amazed that all the commands work as I remember them. Rob, you have created a true masterpiece here. The depth of the experience is phenomenal. The editing too! It pops open in a perfect sized 25 line by 80 character 'DOS' text screen with a black background and white characters in that old familiar font. Full screen cursor control - even the F keys are on the bottom. I had to look up the 'KEY' command to mess with them. I wrote a lot of programs back in the day in GQ-Basic. This really takes me back and re-sparks my creative urges again. Will there be a place to post our creations for others to review and comment on? That would make it complete. This works perfectly on Windows 10 Home 64 Bit Version 1803. My basic programs are located in my C:UsersUSERNAME directory but I can see them from inside PC-BASIC by using the FILES command. Easy to LOAD and SAVE. Save it with the 'A' option to create an ASCII Text file that you can 'OPEN', 'LINE INPUT' and manipulate if you want to. This software is Highly Recommended!!! Download it and go play like it's 1980 all over again.
- it works but too slow. if you don't have the same computer the NASA does have, you would not want to run this 10 DEFDBL A-Z:PRINT TIME$:FOR A=1 TO 1000000! 20 B=B+1/A:NEXT A:PRINT TIME$, B it will take almost 10 minutes. i have yet windows xp 64 and 3.3 ghz the same program runs in amstrad basic2 (you have to remove the 'defdbl a-z') in 20 sec. unfortunately i don't know all basic commands but! i would like have a basic that does ASIN and ACOS because the tan(x) may lead to trouble i can't tell anything about support because i did not ask for it. one advantage is there is no 'coordinate outside virtual screen' error which causes more trouble in amstrads locomotive basic

Have a look at PC-BASIC. It's a free implementation of GW-BASIC that runs natively on Windows 7 (as well as Linux and Mac).

You may run old legacy (DOS) aplication like GW basic in emulator. The easiest way I think is using DosBox. Some more complicated - is installing DOS on virtual machine like VMWare or VirualPC. There is also XPMode in Windows 7 which also may run DOS applications.
