How to compile .bas to make an application?

How can I compile or do something to my .bas file so it will run without people having to have QBASIC on there computer. Because right now when I send my programs to other people I just send them my .bas ... And I tell the to go install QBASIC to run it.
But isn't there a way to compile a .bas into a .exe or something so it will run on all windows machines without QBASIC?

Regards,
Austin

P.S. I'm using QBASIC 1.1 .

Hi,

You need atleast QB4.5 to do that, though it is technically illegal(I think) to download it you can probably find a download quite easy. I think this has it http://www.geocities.com/Axiom43/quickbasic.html .Or you could use FreeBasic to compile(make into an exe) it as long as you compile with -lang qb, check it out here http://www.freebasic.net/index.php
