Basmark do a QuickBASIC compiler for unix which will compile most code
straight off.

If you call any assembly routines from you QB program you'll have a few
problems though.

They should send you their blurb if you phone or fax them :

There is a basic called bbx.  This basic is extremely good!  It is a form
of Business Basic.(Business Basic eXtended).  The company that
developed it is out of Albukurcie(sp?) New Mexico.
This basic will run on almost platform.  (ie just about any version
of Unix, on Dos, on VMS, etc.)

If you are interested, I could lead to a scource of where to get it.

... or you could email the writers of BBx, here on the net.  I'm the
VP of Engineering, and the whole company is emailable (including tech
support).

Business BASIC is a variant of BASIC that actually preceeds the
microcomputer BASICs, and hasn't borrowed much from then.  This allows
software to be written in a manner that is compatible across hardware
platforms and operating systems, an advantage enjoyed by our 6,000
developers and 400,000 installations worldwide.

[and that's about as close as I'll get to an advertisment, I hope it
doesn't offend anyone.  For further info call or email.]

To answer your first question, Hewlett-Packard has an excellent BASIC for
its unix OS (HP-UX).

To answer your 2nd question:  Yes.
