Anyone know of any BASIC interpreters that are similar to GWBASIC, preferrably free.

Has a gui, FreeBASIC compiler (a free BASIC compiler) - official page - News [en]

If you're looking for an interpreter rather than a compiler, why not look at BBC Micro emulation?

 

The BBC lives! -- Emulators

 

(or some other equally good 8bit if you prefer another dialect).

 

Edit: Also first result on a google search looks promising

I thought GW-BASIC was a compiler? Maybe i've used something different.

QBASIC can be run under DosBox, you might find GWBasic is the same.

I've found one thanks. I want to create a program to calculate prime numbers with a group of Y7 kids. So I want them to be able to see how things work and then decide how that will help us create the program. INT for example. This is what I found. Basic Interpreter

I've found a version of GWBASIC that works with XP, so I'm sorted thanks.
