GW-Basic for Windows 7 (64 Bit)

Question

I was looking GW-Basic for Windows 7 (64 Bit) but I could not find a compatible version.

After searching, I came to know about QBasic that would be used for GW-Basic programs.

Please help me set up the environment for GW-Basic.

Answer 1

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).

Answer 2

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.
