Aha, look what I found

FreeBASIC is an open source, 32-bit BASIC compiler with the syntax the most compatible possible with MS-QuickBASIC that adds new features such as pointers, unsigned data types, inline-assembly and many others.

FreeBASIC has the following other editions available: FreeBASIC for Linux.
