I do not know this.

But for this part I hope I can help you. I think that GBASIC was compiled
with DJGPP  allegro 2.1 or previous. And that had a something with a timer
that windows complained about. To fix this select the properties from your
dos-prompt (hit alt-enter, I think and you'll get a win95 window where
there is a properties button) and then go to advanced and make sure that
the box "suggest ms-dos mode when necessary" is not selected.
