I would recommend you buy a copy of Visual Basic for MS-DOS standard edition.
This will allow you to generate an EXE file from your BASIC source code.  It
also has some really cool features for setting up interfaces.  I just bought my
copy (I previously had the Professional Development System 7.1) and I really
like it.  I want to get the Professional Edition later when I have more money.

I got an educational copy at my book store for $34.95.  Which seems very
reasonable for what it is.  C compilers where around $50.

Later,
