Whats the goal of QB64?

The programs looks like QBasic-programs under DOSBox (http://www.dosbox.com/).
And yes, DosBox runs on Windows, Linux, FreeBSD, MaxOSX, OS/2, BeOS and RiscOS.
And QB64 runs only on Windows at now.

And if you want to develop with a modern QBasic, which allows a lot more then QBasic, then use FB.
With FB you can also write on the console and so. QB64 on the other side can only write in a window.

FB also make use of external libraries, so that you can write GUI-programs for the Win-API, Gtk+ and so.

The big advantage of QB64 over FB, what I see is, that QB64 compiles to C (*) instead of Assmebler. So the output is easy to read and the whole libraries are easy to understand.
So, to understand the internals QB64 is better. But if you want to create advanced programs, FB is better, I think.

I see it more like Linux und Minix. FB is like Linux, the big professional one. QB64 is like Minix more for education.
The only difference is, that Minix is older than Linux and with Qb64 and FB it is the other side around: FB is older.

(*) I know, that its C++ files. But there are no classes or objectoriented parts inside the code. And for me the *.cpp files looks more like C.
