Use GFA-BASIC 32 freely now!

GFA-BASIC for Windows 32-bits is now abandonware. Back in 2001 the firm responsible for 15 years of GFA-BASIC products went bankrupt. Despite several pleas for providing the source code to the public domain, no former employee of Gfa Software Technologies GmbH responded to the GFA-BASIC community. This site is dedicated to GFA-BASIC (32) and we will support GFA-BASIC 32 as long as possible. This means fixing bugs and providing the means to use GFA-BASIC 32 on the new OS platforms (Vista).
