Anyone up for this exercise, I might recommend QBASIC from Microsoft instead. Built in help manual and a "real-ish" IDE. And it was on the Windows 98 CD!
I value "infinite online resources" but having integrated books of documentation in the IDE includes such valuable writing. I miss it so much when going through the hastily-written "getting started" tutorials I end up with nowadays (the scope of problems trying to be solved is way different of course)

Yes, but how I coveted QuickBASIC as a kid - it could compile to an executable!
