fbc - The FreeBASIC compiler

Website: http://www.freebasic.net
License: GPLv2+
Description:
FreeBASIC is a free, 32-bit BASIC compiler for Windows (32-bit), 32-bit
protected-mode DOS (COFF executables, like DJGPP), and Linux (x86). It began
as an attempt to create a code-compatible, free alternative to Microsoft
QuickBASIC, but has quickly grown into a powerful development tool, already
including support for libraries such as Allegro, SDL, OpenGL, and many others
with its default installation.

Aside from having a syntax mostly compatible with QuickBASIC, FreeBASIC
introduces several new features to the aged language, including pointers to
variables and functions, and unsigned data types.

FreeBASIC compiler is self-hosting - written in FreeBASIC, the libraries
however are written in C.

This package contains the FreeBASIC Compiler.
