Max:

I believe a shop in town had version 1.0 of VBasic. I'll check and see
if it ran on DOS. I think the whole idea was windows' programming, so I
can't see why, but one never knows....

There's also MS Basic compiler and QBasic.

I think as Dave said, QBasic is as close as you'll get. I'll check
tomorrow (monday) or Tuesday, fersher.
