Where can I find Watcom Basic for Linux or something that will run the programs?

Now that you're finished laughing at my question

...

My daughter is taking a programming class this year and I dug out my old source code from the DOS days and was going to show her what it was like back in my day. (Never transferred the C64 disks over but that could be interesting too.

)

But before trying to get a copy of Watcom basic and running in DOSBox, and see if I can find the old floppy disks wanted to see if there was a linux solution?

Just a quick google found a few; FreeBASIC, bwbasic, PC-BASIC, yabasic. I have no clue on if or how well they work.

I still have image files of DOS 6.22 and have it running in a virtual machine which does include qbasic...
