Which version of PC BBC Basic have you got?

BBC Basic for Windows (http://www.rtrussell.co.uk/) looks quite interesting:
it supports some of the Archimedes BASIC V extensions and things like SYS
"CreatePopupMenu" TO pop% but costs 30UKP.

Brandy (http://www.argonet.co.uk/users/dave_daniels/) is open source, cross
platform and supports all of the BASIC V extensions but runs in a DOS box.

cheers,
