Nice to see Microsoft releasing the GW-BASIC source under the MIT license. https://github.com/microsoft/GW-BASICNow any retro-hobbyists who know enough x86 assembly have a starting point for supporting embeddable scripting on ancient DOS systems.#dos #retro #programming

@design_RG No problem. I only wish Microsoft were releasing QuickBasic 4.5 under MIT... or even just as a closed-source freely-redistributable compiler under the same terms as the 2.0 version of the Setup Toolkit from the Windows 3.1 SDK.I grew up on QBasic 1.1 and always wanted the compiler. Now that I'm old enough to have acquired a copy, I'm reluctant to make my creations depend on compilers I can't share when I put the source on GitHub.
