I haven't programmed in BASIC in a long time, but several years ago I was
looking for a C++ compiler to use for DOS.  I seem to recall that Open Watcom's
DOS compiler had support for more recent C++ than other DOS C++ compilers
(I still don't think it supported C++11, but still a fairly recent variant of
C++).
