There you go... you've just used two of my favorite words... Basic... and FREE!!!FreeBASIC! It will compile a working program on a 64-bit machine. It also has a QuickBASIC compatible mode, which will compile QuickBASIC code with minimal changes. The manual can be viewed here. And this page is where you download the compiler and IDE. There are two; I've used FB-IDE.
Thanks for the suggestion, I'm already looking into it.
