A GW-BASIC interpreter written in Rust. brusic loads and executes original .BAS programs from the MS-DOS era on modern platforms. It is neither an emulator nor a modernised BASIC, but a compatible interpreter: take a vintage .BAS file, run brusic program.bas, and see the same output the original user would have seen. Both ASCII-format and tokenised binary .BAS files are supported.
