Time to bring in at least 150K new users to QB64

you would need someone who knows C++, and a deep understanding of the target OS or platform, and has a lot of free time.

Industrial control guy's love the PI's to death.  They know "C", want to get rid of expensive PC-104 controllers.  Faster, wifi and they have no free time.  They are payed to do it all.  Even if they have to use compute modules to do it.  It's cheaper faster in the end.

That was a good point about anti-virus. Every time I install QB64 on a new machine I have to create exceptions in the antivirus software. Even executables I have made are flagged.
If any n00b downloads QB64 they are going to think it is malware and uninstall pretty quickly.
Is there anyway to address this as I'm sure it must deter many - if I download any program and the antivirus is activated I will immediately remove it.
I only know that QB64 is pukka as I have been using it for decades (and before that QB4.5 and GWBasic).
