No true COMPILER is 100% source compatible with GW-BASIC, but the folks at PowerBasic INC (http://www.powerbasic.com) have three different products if you need a high-performance BASIC compiler:
FirstBASIC -- thier shareware DOS basic compiler. $25 registration, and I don't think it has a timeout. Downloadable from http://www.powerbasic.com/files/pub/demos.
PowerBasic for DOS -- creates DOS executables, but is much more capable than GW basic. Creates TSR's, addresses 16 megabytes of memory, and has a greatly expanded command set.
PowerBasic Console Compiler -- creates Windows console applications that run in the Windows9x/XP/2K command prompt. True 32-bit programs that look like DOS programs, but can access windows resources. It's also a good tool for writing CGI scripts for web servers.
PowerBasic Compiler for Windows -- creates 32bit GUI windows applications.
Have fun, and don't be a fraid to visit the PowerBasic forums on their web site if you have any questions.
