QuickBasic interpreter for windows XP??

[Robert Blass]

QuickBASIC interpreter/debugger runs my CPU to 60C which is 10C above
the max for this CPU.

The QuickBASIC interpreter/debugger defaults to a window size that is
too tiny. If I try to increase the size or even make it maxamized the
thing with Freeze.

Is there a QuickBASIC interpreter/debugger that works the way the MS
version does but allows it in a Windows XP environment?

I'm not trying to code something big and I'd like to be able to see
what I am doing.

Anyone??

1. Off-topic. PowerBASIC is not QuickBASIC.
2. Multipost, bad.

I have three dollars says any overuse of CPU resulting in excess heat is
caused by
DO : Z$=INKEY$: LOOP UNTIL LEN(Z$)

These 'nothing' loops tie up CPUs big time.

Window size can be adjusted by creating a shortcut...

Start [path\]qbasic.exe [[/RUN [sourcefilename]]

.. and playing with the "properties" thereof.

You might try Tamedos.

Version 5.0 worked for me (RC 2 didn't), but eventually I
decided that the overburden of the program negated the gains I
was getting with the occasional running of a DOS program.
Still, it may be just what you need.
