I don't think Stefan intended his list to be exhaustive; he is
somewhat prejudiced! I am similarly prejudiced (which is why I didn't
reply to the original post) but if we're in the business of listing 32-
bit BASICs which will work OK under Win64 I ought to mention:

BBC BASIC for Windows:

You're too modest! BBC BASIC for Windows is much more than just "OK"!

No connection with the BBC BASIC, just a satisfied user.
