Do you mean BASIC or Visual Basic. If it is BASIC there are no end of free compilers and interpreters available. If it is Visual Basic, then the situation is slightly different but there are some free offerings available with some restrictions. Look here for starters: http://www.thefreecountry.com/compilers/basic.shtml Stuart

well school is using a program called QuickBASIC which isnt free I think. So whats like it thats free? Dell Dimension 4600 Intel Pentium 4 2.6Ghz w/ HT and 800Mhz fbs. 1.5GB DUAL CHANNEL DDR SDRAM RAM 400mhz ATI Radeon 9800 PRO 128MB DDR 120GB ATA 7200HD Sound Blaster Live! 5.1 4.1 Al

There is a free BASIC called FreeBASIC that is quite close in using MS BASIC syntax.
