I'm not asking for myself by the way. Would it be possible to run BASIC and create programmes in Ubuntu? A quick Google suggests WINE would be necessary. Thoughts? (Other than 'Why would you?')

I have successfully used freebasic on ubuntu. http://sourceforge.net/projects/fbc/ It may not be the best but it worked without the need for WINE or any other such pre-requisites. I originally used it under windoze xp (about 10 years ago) and was able to migrate the programs written there to linux with very little difficulty. Nev
