A lot of people have been wondering about a BASIC compiler for DOS. ASIC 
is a good compiler, but I don't recommend it for making real complex 
programs. I recommend FirstBasic, which is basically a shareware version 
of PowerBasic 2. If you're willing to spend $150, I strongly recommend 
PowerBasic 3.2, it's what I usually use. A trial version of PowerBasic 
3.2 (the only restriction is that you cannot open files) is also 
available. All of these (except ASIC) can be downloaded at 
www.powerbasic.com.
