FreeBASIC is a multiplatform, free and open code compiler for BASIC. Its syntax is the most similar and compatible with that of MS-QuickBASIC (including GFX sentences), but it adds some characteristics that improve and widen the possibilities. For example, points, data types without signs, assembler and processor and much more.



It is a compiler, or development setting, for BASIC language that is quite standardized. Here are its best features:



* Availability of a large number of variable types.

* Vectors.

* Escape characters within literal chains.

* Loads of functions.

* Inline assembly.

* The majority of libraries for C language can be used directly in FreeBASIC.

* It is multiplataform and multithread.

* Generation of optimized code.

* Pointers.

* Preprocessor.

* Type definition.

* Support for Unicode.
