Title:           GW-BASIC 2026
Version:         0.18.0
Entered-date:    2026-04-10
Description:     A portable C reimplementation of Microsoft GW-BASIC, using
                 the original 8088 assembly source (released by Microsoft
                 in 2020) as the authoritative reference.  Targets bug-
                 compatible behavior with classic GW-BASIC programs.
                 Includes a full-screen TUI editor that renders through
                 BIOS INT 10h on bare FreeDOS (no ANSI.SYS required), 100%
                 token coverage (all 144 GW-BASIC tokens), MBF on-disk file
                 format compatibility, and an ahead-of-time compiler
                 (Linux/POSIX builds only).
Keywords:        BASIC, GW-BASIC, Microsoft, interpreter, retrocomputing
