Sounds like a good alternative; however, one correction:

Firstbas running under Pocketdos is not interpreted, it's compiled. It's shareware (looks to be free even), although I assume you've compared and have confirmed that PDACalc is still faster.

I found a good substitute. I'm now using PDACalc Matrix PocketPC version on my Axim and Windows version on my desktop. It's close enough to BASIC so I feel right at home and it's much faster than PocketDOS with a BASIC interpreter (which I also have). I have no connection with the company other than being a satisfied customer. It's $67.96 for the combination Windows and PocketPC bundle although each is also available separately. There's also a version for Palm if you want to do cross-development work. It's not a compiler, though. Thanks to all who answered my post!
