Old Pbasic version?

Hello, I have a PS2 with the homework board. I am running PBasic 2.3.3 on my Win XP home unit. I would like to find a version of Pbasic that will run on an old Win 95 laptop.
Alternatively, is there an editor that would run on Win 95 that is compatible?

Any suggestions?

(Other than buying a new laptop...?)

Thank you in advance,
Sparky123

    Thank you for your prompt reply.
    I am not familiar at all with prior versions of Pbasic to know which version(s) would work, but I am willing to give it a try.
    Win 98 may not be that different from 95 for this type of thing.

    I was wondering about that.

    The book that came with the Kit ("What's a Microcontroller", bought at Radio Shack) said the software would work on win 95, but when I went to the website to DL it, the blurb said Win 2k and above. (The book recomended getting the latest version from the website.)

    I did not even try to load it on the laptop.
    The Laptop is running Win 95.

    Mayhaps I should give it a try. I can allways uninstall it, I hope..
    I do not have the disks to recover the laptop if it gets hosed, so I was hoping to hear a definative version / compatibility answer.

    ALL answers are appreciated!

    <After all, how bad can a simple editor tie up an OS anyway? Right???>

    I sent you 3 file that are win95 win98 win2000

    it is version 2.1

    This will work because i have P2 computer that will not work windows XP but i want to keep using the computer
    so i use this version the reason i sent you 3 version of that depending on how much memory you have and CPU
    you may determent you use

    sam^3 & Lithuium,

    Thank you for your input.
    v. 2.3.3 would not work for Win 95, but v2.2 & 2.1 will!

    I am happy! Now I can play on the go with my "Price is right" laptop!
