ASIC 5.0 (For: DOS)
|
|
ASIC 5.0 by 80/20 Software Co. is more compatible with the old GW-BASIC (BASICA) syntax. If you have any laying around, why not convert them to ASIC? They include an easy to use converter to help in the process. This compiler compiles your code into very small, and fast executables. This compiler is released as shareware, with a very small registration fee.

BASEC v0.20 (For: DOS/UNIX)
|
|
BASic Emulation Compiler is my (William Yu's) home-brewed BASIC pcode-like compiler. It was meant to emulate all the functionality of QBasic with some added benefits like displaying JPEG files and playing MP3 files. The C source code to my compiler is available if you want to modify it to your liking. I wouldn't recommend writing large programs in BASEC just yet, there's still some bugs that need to be corrected. As of v0.20, you can now write CGI programs in BASEC.

Tokiwa v5.55 Sample (For: DOS)
|
|
TOKIWA 8086 BASIC Compiler version 5.55 (Sample) by Genji Okada is a small native code compiler of BASIC-C like code. It's apparent that the language is a "push and pop" type of compiler, meaning the code you write can resemble a lot like assembly. However, no assembly experience is required to use Tokiwa. The compiler produces small and fast executables. Since the documentation is in Japanese, you may have trouble using the language, and as far as I know, it's in a "beta-like" stage. No idea if the author is still supporting it.
